Then Amazon eliminates yet another cost that other retailers have to burden, further out-competing them.

I have no love for retail —it was my Saturday job growing up— but it does employ a huge pile of people, from warehousing through to the shop floor. As consumers, we bitch and whine about the cost this adds, and the hassle of mooching into a busy town to go and get something... So we sit back and use Amazon instead.

This is killing retail and it could also kill off manual warehousing. Retail employment in the UK us 10% of the workforce.

So what happens when Amazon replaces them too? Fewer and fewer jobs for unskilled workers. Across the board. Much more desperate people. Much more abuse.

Ask HN: Good, experienced engineer but suck at interviews. Looking for a coach
I am an experienced engineer(10+) working as software engineer.

I know all the CS basics and concepts. I can 80% of the puzzles/coding questions in interviews. But I have few blindspots that I am hoping to use a coach for. As I am not a beginner, most online portals are not useful for me. I want to use my time efficiently.

If you guys know anybody who can coach an experienced engineer, let me know. I will probably need a time commitment of 1-2 hours per week from you. I am happy to pay for the service.

All you have to mostly do is curate a few questions in my weak areas and pester me to solve them.

Something like youneedaboss.com but for software engineering interviews.

Please let me know how I can contact you. If you have experience hiring people before, it is even better!

Apparently so.

If everyone is vaccinated, there are the side effects of vaccinations (if any - I was not endorsing Confusion's 1-in-10000 number). If nobody is vaccinated, there are the consequences of measles, which are far worse.

But Confusion's argument doesn't (currently) work with Confusion's numbers. (Let me be clear: Confusion's larger point is correct, that not vaccinating is much worse than vaccinating.) 800 cases of measles (and climbing) is not worse than the consequences of vaccinating at Confusion's number for the major-side-effect rate. So for an individual making the decision today, with Confusion's stated major side-effect rate, the risk is higher on the vaccination side - at the moment. The way the outbreak is spreading, that may not be true for long, which I tried to emphasize in my original post.

But it wasn't intended to be a major position statement - it was intended to be a minor, technical quibble with Confusion's point. (And confusion seems to have been the result...)

Took me a minute to grok this, but I think you mean, message bus clients can send 'any old shit' and the broker will happily queue it?

A lot of the more 'managed' (abstracted) clients in the statically typed world deal with this by structuring queues by the object type/interface. A bad actor could probably circumvent this if they really wanted, but for normal usage it will at least ensure that objects sent are of the expected type.

This means that in real-world usage, this isn't an issue.

I strongly disagree, IMO actively surfacing a highly-relevant but incorrect result is worse than not surfacing anything at all.

As for determining what the "correct" answer is, the authority of the source is certainly a good place to start. Obviously nothing is fool-proof, but Yahoo! Answers is certainly less likely to be correct than Wikipedia, for example.

Yet AA, Delta, and United are each still operating and each valued at over $10B today. The point is that the airline industry has several players operating and competing and has not totally imploded and fares have not skyrocketed. Many are predicting Uber and lyft will either raise fares a ton or the companies will totally fail and be worthless. I'm saying there is a middle ground where they compete without killing each other.

The slur against Carson is a myth that got started in the last couple of decades by anti-regulatory think tanks as a way to attack one of the foundations of the modern environmental movement. It's complete nonsense because 1) DDT spraying is still considered a legitimate method of mosquito (i.e. malaria) control, which was never the main problem anyway - widespread agricultural use was what led to "Silent Spring", and 2) DDT resistance eventually limited its effectiveness even for mosquito control. Read "Merchants of Doubt" if you want the gory details.

> One of the worst problems with using windows (in my opinion) is that there’s no native GNU make.

GNU Make even comes with a vcproj file for building a native binary with Visual Studio. Worked fine for me. Building it with Guile support though is difficult, but fortunately Eli Zaretskii provides native binaries through his ezwinports, and they worked pretty much flawlessly for me. Of course you will usually need a shell to execute recipes, but Make itself runs natively. For more information, see README.W32 in the sources.
The visualizations aren't particularly useful, and it creates a longer and thereby slower to scan receipt. Overall, it's a negative to me.

This is an area where adding a simple layer of abstraction is a good thing - most times, all you want is something like a `Send<T>`/`Send(obj)` method, which really will translate fairly universally across message busses.

I used such a thing recently, switching out RabbitMQ for MQTT - all I really had to do was point to a new implementation of the interface!
There's a ton of inefficiency in the system: administrative, lack of preventative care, lack of continuity of care, that hospitals are forced to provide critical emergency care to anyone who walks in and can't afford it, cost of drugs, and yes, the amount doctors are paid, and the amount doctors have to pay for malpractice insurance (which is also socialized in Canada dramatically reducing cost).

Doctors become public servants. They should get paid relatively comparably to other first-world countries but the fact is what they're getting paid right now is unsustainable for us as a society if our goal is to cover everyone at a reasonable price -- and it should be. Preserving doctors top-0.5% pay is strictly a non-goal. Building a functioning public health system is a goal.

On the priest side the celibacy requirement probably attracts a certain type. Then there is the power over others angle which isn't limited to churches. The combination of factors stack on each other.

On the institutional side its the well known and agreed upon siege mentality where the church tries to protect itself out of arrogance and a probably accurate assessment that its enemies want to use and manipulate this for political gain.

Also much less talked about is the church's former policies were partially due to a misguided sense of mercy. If the church really did come down as hard and preemptively as people now want it to from the very beginning the world would probably be whining about how intolerant and cruel they were to potential and defrocked priests.
What's bad: The bubble chart. Even if you thought a report by category was useful, comparing areas is really hard on the brain; it should have been a table or bar chart.

What's meh: The bars for price. Maybe they help; maybe they make my already-to-long receipt every longer.

What's great: Sort by category then by price descending. Helps for both finding items on a long receipt, and also getting a quick glance at the most important (read: expensive) ones. It's a simple improvement that only sacrifices the historic streaming print of a receipt. I'll accept if I have to look in to a couple places before I find it. I did just visit the grocery store after all.

> the main issue on the Max is airodynamic lift generated by the nacelles at high AoA.

This simplifies the physics so much that it's wrong. It is true that there are texts attributing everything just to the "nacelles", but the engineering doesn't work the way you argue:

First, you can't put the engines on the plane without some casing for them (you have to have nacelles).

Second, if you'd try to modify the casing of the engines (the said nacelles) to have other aerodynamic properties, you'd interfere with other design goals (e.g. you can increase the fuel consumption which was the most important design goal for the MAX).

Third, the position of the engines definitely does matter for the behavior like "nose up" as long as the rest of the plane has some already determined form, which in this case is what has to be kept to have the plane being 737 and not something completely different.

In short: the 737 MAX is Boeing's equivalent of VW's diesel cars. Its behavior was determined by the prescribed design goals (by those who sold the plane): Boeing simply directly lied, selling something that can't be achieved given the "sold" design characteristics.

Just like the diesel cars can reduce nitrogen oxides production, but then they are less "efficient" than as they were sold (they need more refills, or use more fuel, i.e. cost more than advertised). Likewise, the 737 MAX-like plane could have been safer, but then Boeing could have not sold it as a plane for which there's "no need for pilot's re-certification and retraining."

At the end, Feynman conclusion of his Shuttle investigation report holds:

"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled."

Note also: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/apr/15/former-head...

("Former head of Volkswagen could face 10 years in prison -- Martin Winterkorn and other executives charged with fraud over emissions test cheating")

I'm quite sure Boeing's "heads" won't even be charged. And no, the "nacelles" aren't the main issue. It's the fraudulent selling of the planes which can't deliver what they were sold for. Fraud.
