> You would record a video offline and then upload it to Youtube

I can't speak to how popular this feature actually is, but the YouTube app includes video recording, so not everyone is going have a local copy of their work, by default. Conversely, who uses the Medium editor, rather than, say, Google Docs?
I kinda wish the domain was "rest.standards" instead to set the pattern of "*.standards" would be where you found such things.
it's improve your life because you're probably a highly paid software developer or engineer (guessing because here you are on hacker news). I would like to hear more from the people who work for amazon (not the devs reaping all of the rewards of stock shares) and the retailers selling their goods on amazon to see if the company has "improved" their lives.

It's not that the store is weird, it's that the common thread through all the items it carries is "things that evoke human-ness". It's for people who are far removed from being regular people but who want to experience what they imagine that feels like. We have similar stores here in Austin, but they haven't (yet) taken over completely.
Unlocking a cart is a foreign concept in the US. Not sure if the parent is in the US but any grocery store that has locked carts there is doomed to fail.
I would get a bus ticket and get out. Start with a government job in a smaller city perhaps, and get yourself on your feet. Small steps instead of big leaps. Good luck, and thanks for sharing your story.
I think this is because Google just doesn't do a lot of the data scraping in G Suite accounts that it does in gmail accounts. So I think it just doesn't have any stored "purchases" to show, rather the fact that the purchase interface doesn't work.

I say this based on information I've read in the past about how G Suite / Google Apps accounts are treated. I hope this is the case, but am certainly not sure about it.
Reduce clutter? Maybe you want to only remove some but not others?

Let me turn the tables on you -- why doesn't Google have a button to delete all of them at once?
Yeah... it was maybe one and a half years ago I think?

But they stopped reading it for showing contextual ads.

They're still reading it to show you useful information across Google properties, like in Google Maps the location of the theater you bought tickets to see a play to tonight. Removing that would be removing a useful features that people liked (unlike the ads).
I believe they were polling the list of moderator-or-greater-access users on each site through the API: https://api.stackexchange.com/docs/moderators
Europe indeed. No AI/ML taking over jobs. The customer took those jobs away more than a lustrum ago.
Thanks. Ok, so is he creating strawmen everywhere, then? I know people working in government, biotech, climate research, and none of them seem to think that the normal distribution is the only model out there, or that the mean is a very meaningful (no pun intended) statistic.
the suicide rate, especially among adolescent women has increased by almost 70% from 2001 to now, self-harm has increased, rate of depression, anxiety and related illnesses has increased in that demographic. Among young men as well, albeit to a lesser extent.

While it will take more time to figure out precisely how social media impacts the development of teenagers and young adults, the relationship is pretty unambiguous. I recommend Jonathan Haidt's latest book for anyone who still thinks that there is no very real physical and mental health threat associated with social media.

> which while EPUB can handle in theory, ...... when converting to PDF, etc.

So are you referring to problems when converting epubs to pdf and not problems when using epubs?
As someone who doesn't smoke, it's awkward to read these articles that assume inevitably of tobacco's influence.

You can quit. We can quit.

Sometimes I run into a group of smokers that I want to be more involved with. When I mention I want to be involved but not breathe pollution, there is usually sympathy and a response that there are others interested in quitting smoking, too. Many organizations are smoke-free, and more organizations would be if more people spoke up to request a non-smoking option.

I think a good comparison here is TCAS [0] - installed on every airliner today, it's a system that could be summarized as 'you're going to hit another plane, do XYZ NOW to avoid death'. It doesn't take the actions for you - just tells you what to do, even if the aircraft was operating under autopilot at the time.

And yet autopilot on cars is expected to intervene in those cases and far more. (Of course, cars are often in those situations far more often, which is partly why the expectations are different)

This genuinely surprised me, but I’m less sure than everyone else that this spells the end of Cray. They’re still cranking out monster systems: they have 3 in the top 10 now (and almost certainly more than that since the DoD stopped listing their systems). As everyone has noted, they also signed contracts for new monsters at Argonne and Oak Ridge, which will likely debut at #2 and #1 respectively.

I think it’s very unlikely that the US government lets them go out of business after HPE closes the sale. They’re the best competitor to IBM, and the DoE and DoD are always careful to spread their procurements around to keep more than one company capable of supplying the big defense/weapons supers. This is just totally a guess from having worked in HPC for so long, but I’d be very surprised if this purchase didn’t include some sort of back channel wink and nod by the feds at a promise by HPE to keep building the big computers.

I’ll miss them though. While their systems weren’t always the best, when you got your problems escalated to their R&D group, you got to work with some cool people. I imagine those people will get sucked into HPE and/or get fed up and defect to Intel pretty quickly.
Agreed. yapf has soo many config options, and I want to say some of those options are heuristics (like `SPLIT_PENALTY_AFTER_OPENING_BRACKET`) which can have some "unpredictable" side effects (at least to the eyes of a new user).

I prefer Black, which has minimal configuration. There's no debate to be had over details that don't matter much in the grand scheme of things. Yeah, maybe it doesn't always look _just_ how I'd like, but I get used it.

And while Black may not be 100% compatible with flake8 out of the box, they are aware of flake8 and document places where it may not be flake8-compatible.
Same. It’s way worse... I basically have to be ready to leave my job at any time if it starts to get bad enough.
You claim to be a lawyer, so I would assume in good faith that you understand that ethics and laws are not an inclusive set.

If we approach this honestly and openly we see the following: Adding a tracking image to an email takes work, and their needs to be a reason to undertake that work if we assume the prosecution is a rational actor.

So, what are some reasonable hypotheses about why someone would undertake that work?
1. In a charitable reading of the situation the tracking image is just there to determine if the email has been opened.
2. The prosecutor is attempting to gain information about the composition of the defense team, journalists and their sources.

Considering the inciting incident was that a confidential source reported that a lawyer was not doing their job, and that tracking pixels tend to be automatically added to all of your sent emails, it lends credence to the hypothesis that this out of the ordinary image was an attempt to gather information about someone.

Why would someone in the legal arm of the Navy want to track down someone involved with reporting misconduct in the legal arm of the Navy? Possibly to preserve their job or the job of their colleague by conducting a reprisal, with in the judicial system or outside of it. There are reputations and careers on the line. Folks are known to be quite protective of those.

Attempting to discourage reporting of misconduct inside the government is unethical. A reasonable person can follow this chain of logic and see what happens, you seem fixated on the letter of a regulation rather than the spirit of our defense of a press that holds people accountable for their actions.

If you were actually engaging in an intellectually honest discussion, you may bring up points that show why you think tracking down the source of the leak was important, or that it is standard procedure for military lawyers or lawyers in general to track email opens. Instead you've chosen to focus on the lack of a written prohibition of pixel tracking in a code of conduct written for lawyers, enforced by state bars that don't have jurisdiction over military lawyers.
I think I just started to understand why the US has such a low unemployment rate but so many are paid minimal wage...
> By 'problem' do you mean people not accepting the official narrative and having a go at 'critical thinking'? I wouldn't see that as a problem, I'd see that as a free society

The problem is that their version of "critical thinking" leads them down extremists rabbit holes like the ones which begin with listening to Alex Jones and ending with them trying to kill people at a pizza place because of purely imaginary Satanic pedophiles.
I still don't get it. What demographic are we talking about here? Who goes to a bar 2-5 times a week? Again, even as a student, where we actually would have had the time (not all the time, but definitely stretches of), going out in such close succession would only happen occasionally, at best, even for the more, um, "ambitious" people I knew. Now after university, I can't even imagine going to a bar after work more than once in a few months (and even then, keep the alcohol intake at a minimum).

And here you are talking about 5-8 beers on a single evening, which definitely qualifies as "getting drunk", with loss of control (not necessarily unexpectedly or with grave consequences), hangover, and everything, and then repeating that multiple times per week? Maybe US beer is less strong than German beer, but that's not really my experience here in San Francisco.

At a sustained rate, I think even amongst university students in drink-happy countries that qualifies as alcoholic.
In europe, it's 1 or 2 euro. (both work)

You get it back when you return the trolley though.
I actually use a completely different criterion.

If I see people constantly resorting to bad solutions and complaining, when a tech solution could solve the whole thing, I like the idea.

Then I think whether I can make it viral and engaging to bring user acquision costs to zero.

If yes - it can be done!
>[...] I hate doing code reviews where the author has run a formatting tool that introduced diffs all over parts of the file that they didn't actually touch. [...]

Teach them to commit properly:

1. Run an autoformatter on the file

2. Commit

3. Make desired changes

4. Commit again

The same principle applies to refactoring as well, you want to keep your commits 'atomic' aka containing a single unit of work. Autoformatting and changing the code are two separate units.

That's true of products that are true innovations, that is, they create entirely new product categories. Here, however, he's just improving on an existing product. Getting opinions about what's wrong with the current product makes a lot of sense.

My HP z840 workstation I feel was well engineered. HP Chromebook 13 also great, IMO. (Both machines a few years old at this point).
Carrefour / Migros et al are definitely mid-level though, they’re not competing with Aldi on prices.
Just because your life is better isn't a strong argument for or against anti-trust actions.

The current framework in antitrust, the consumer welfare framework, really fails to capture forms of market power and forms of dominance that should be relevant to antitrust and do raise competition concerns. We should really question the existing anti trust laws and whether they are suitable for the 21st century.

Companies, without monopolies, are starting to exert serious soft power, often bending governments, crushing competition and engaging in anti-competitive behavior without a pure monopoly.
Yes. Of course, now all we're getting at the top of google search results are bland and uninformative "ads" pushed out by copywriters.

Also yep. Facebook is valued at $158 per user. There is absolutely no way that the average user will click on $158 worth of ads in their entire time on the platform, nor will their children, nor will their grandchildren. At some point, a sane person has to realize that Wall Street is pricing in something other than the net present value of all the ad revenue that Facebook generates. Their buildings and servers are worth peanuts to their $227 billion market cap. What the market is pricing in addition to the advertising is how Facebook sells your data to companies for uses that most people have never even considered.

I agree. Grouping together "Mentally ill and/or severely drug addicted homeless person dropping syringes and trash across the city" with "Reasonably normal person who has had really bad luck, or has some weaknesses in maintaining employment but is otherwise a functioning adult" does a huge disservice to any conversation on homelessness.
It definitely is! You can also get these coin thingies you can have on your keychain for it. You push it in to push out the link to the other carts, and have to put the lock back in to recover the coin.
this is really sad.

the site has some pretty obvious bugs in the ordering sequence. if you click "billing address same as shipping address" before entering the shipping address the form fails; you have to check and uncheck it... when I see sloppy stuff like this, I always choose PayPal, but as that's not an option, I guess I will pass.
Downtown Minneapolis, Nicollet Mall doesn't allow cars. Only busses and pedestrians. Occasionally you see a car, but it's because it looks like it's someone who didn't know accidentally turn on to the road and get lost.
It's not clear to me that "development tier" means "a development environment." I interpreted it as the standard StackOverflow.com infrastructure that developers use -- this is contextualized a few paragraphs later when they mention "we maintain separate infrastructure and networks for clients of our Teams, Business, and Enterprise products", which implies that the production environment that was compromised was something other than those three.

(Even if I'm right, though, I definitely agree that the wording is very easy to misinterpret and they should clarify the post to explain what the "development tier" is.)
> There are few requirements for being a production line worker at Foxconn. As long as you are educated to the age of 15, are aged between 16 and a half and 40, and are not Uygur or Tibetan, you’re welcome to apply

I guess I should have known that "no Uigurs or Tibetans" would be standard policy at employers like Foxconn.

Humans, man. My grandfather grew up in a tiny little town in Pennsylvania where Help Wanted signs frequently came with "no Swedes need apply" small print. Those Swedish immigrants were eventually able to assimilate so successfully that we've almost completely forgotten that history.

That experience, though, was something he wanted to make sure his grandchildren understood. The way he told it, other people in our country hadn't been allowed to assimilate in the same way, and it was part of our job as human beings to help change that.

I'll be thinking about this, and him, for the rest of the day.
I don't find Aldi all that special. Very limited selection, their store brands are no where near as good as organic alternatives such as Simple Truth (Kroger). I'm not really saving all that much when you factor in how far behind Aldi is in convenience factor either. A lot of their policies are annoying and I hate the lack of customer service because the employees are too busy wearing many hats. They don't offer curb side pickup or online ordering. Coupons? Nope Fuel? Nope

To top it off, I'd rather keep all my grocery dollars in American companies - they do far more for our communities than Aldi/Trader Joe's.

Aldi has carved out a niche but they aren't a huge disruption. Grocery loyalty is big business no one is giving up on.

PS: be wary of Aldi articles, they're notorious for astroturfing Reddit and news blogs.
I support this in principle, but doesn't Amazon require that you not sell the book anywhere for less than the Amazon price? I'm pretty sure that means you can't give it away for free, either. I think that's why, although some books that are sold for money on Amazon are creative commons licensed, you won't generally find them on the authors' websites. It's legal, but I think it's a violation of the author or publisher's contract with Amazon to do that.

3rd parties can make such books available, though... legally, at least. In that situation, Amazon's TOS (assuming it has something like "thou shalt not redistribute any books purchased from Amazon without Amazon's permission") for ebook buyers would violate the clearly stated book license, so the TOS would become void, right?
Yes; it just a psychological trick to stop people abandoning their carts in random locations or perhaps even in the middle of the parking lot.
Note also that these deaths are for all of France. I would say this is, if anything, evidence against hocuspocus's suggestion that there have been several deaths from electric-scooter accidents in Paris.
If you really need to get some work done, calling in a fictitious sick day once in a while isn't the worst solution.
When I was 15, I had a job assembling computers for a local computer store for a little above minimum wage.

Almost anyone could do this job, which is why my wage was so low. This has no bearing on the actual cost of the computer (I think they were around $2000/computer and my boss made really good money).

I also don't know why these articles are so shocking. The Chinese government, which has a huge stake in Foxconn, historically has a really bad reputation when it comes to human rights abuses.
They are very similar in size or product. Aldi has more local food products than lidl, but lidl has a more interesting "aisle of shite", with their own brand of tools/garden equipment. I keep watching this aisle to expand my toolshed :)

2) Psychological effects on users

Your comment is about #1, but the person you're replying to seems primarily concerned with #2.
It wouldn't have passed under any other Republican leadership, let alone Trump. If you want Democrats on board any immigration package would need to contain path to citizenship for undocumented folks.
If you don't mind I'll keep using milligrams and micrograms, micromolar, nanomolar etc. instead of writing all that out.
The entire article is about how Aldi is growing like crazy in the US, and explains why they have locked carts. A far cry from "doomed to fail".
The register lines also move faster because of how they place barcodes all over the packaging. It’s genius.

Thanks for this. Food is not an overly large item in my budget (~11% net) but with my life being just me and my son 182.5 days out of the year, I'm definitely interested in applying some engineering to my grocery list.
Ahh thanks! So I assume they were just looking for moderators rather than employees.
I'm not sure what you're doing over there, but an entire continent (Europe) unlocks those carts and manages toddlers at the same time :)
This information is also scraped and sold by unscrupulous companies that you give access to your email.

If you’ve ever let a service scrape your inbox for travel itineraries they probably read all your email ever and sold that information. Surprise!
Seems like a practical alternative would be to simply "plead the 5th" in response to every question she is asked.
I don’t think you quite understand what you’re talking about - do you realize Chelsea Manning is not the target of the grand jury? How can a person being compelled to testify for actions they’ve been granted immunity risk double jeopardy?
You're putting words in my mouth. Not only did I not say that, but your interpretation isn't any better either. Blocking is pretty much final.

I mean, why do we imprison and try to rehabilitate people instead of you know...killing them?

"Blocking trolls" (by this I specifically mean denying them access) is mob justice. In fact, there's even a supreme court ruling preventing the government from denying people access to social media. This isn't okay.

Feeling good about who gets punished doesn't make the form of punishment any better.
yes, reading this article as European (that never visited the US) was a weirding experience. I lived in 4 different countries in Europe, and that's exactly how every supermarket work.

And to be fair, I thought that every supermarket in the world worked like that...

Can you imagine when the Americans will find automatic counters instead of cashiers? :)
Regardless, nuclear energy absolutely presents a dilemma for me. I love the dream of what nuclear energy could become. But the reality of the industry at present does not live up to that. That doesn't make it a practical option for investment and that is always a problem. It is right to try and fix that, but in the meantime renewables just make sense as a good option. If the industry can get its act together then nuclear plants will be built. Arguing about how nuclear is better on paper does not help that one bit. It needs to be better in the messy real world.
What law do you think they’ve broken to justify breaking them up? You can’t just dismantle someone’s business because you think they should structure it differently.

This is the problem right here.

A person working a job 30 hours a week, does not make enough money to afford a place to live. And it's not that they have to live in a shitty place, it's not that they need roommates, they just don't have anywhere to stay. This should be unacceptable for a society.

Wages are too low, and housing prices are too high. Those are the 2 problems that need to be fixed. And for the housing problem the only way to get rid of it,is build, build, build. Make building new houses cheaper, and development worth it, and prices will go down.
