>No it's called Jail for breaking the law, this isn't an internment camp.

So you'd rather lock people up at huge expense, rather than - I don't know - giving people money and actually helping them? Meanwhile, the Zucks of the world are bulldozing their neighbors homes? Interesting.

>If the white walkers are invading your homelands should I be concerned with the ethics of killing them?

And how exactly are homeless people in anyway analogous to these fictionalized monsters from fantasy literature?
This stood out to me too. Maybe there is some image breakout vuln that is exploited, which would be HUGE.

I would think there'd be a wider attack surface to attach a PDF though...
Some of the best art resonates best with people who have experienced significant suffering, such as yourself. I have recommendations, if you want them, but ultimately, I think there is a way out of your suffering, and it lies within you. I do not mean that it is necessarily possible to change your external circumstances, but I do mean you don't need to change your external circumstances to experience contentment or even happiness.
I feel like you answered your own question(s).
Month-to-month, a new project by a single developer has many times the probability of folding than a company like Slack does. Shack is a significantly lower risk.

Further, there is much higher trust that Slack would give a reasonable notification period of they decided to stop existing, compared with a single dev's project.
I sometimes wonder if there is some
power (whatever we want that to mean) threshold at which an invalid antitrust case is brought simply because of the amount of power under discussion. Extreme and improbable hypothetical:

Amazon hits ~$2.5T in annual revenue, while the GDP of France stagnates at ~$2.5T.

Assuming that there is zero evidence for an antitrust case to be built (again, this is an extreme and improbable and rather outlandish scenario), would the U.S. have an interest in simply brute forcing the break-up of Amazon simply on the grounds that the company itself has too much geopolitical clout/power/influence/etc.?

I'm seriously curious.
Actually, it should be grams. 51.3162(...) grams, to be somewhat precise.
You seem to be incredibly skeptical of the most obvious and non-controversial opinions here.

> U.S. Marine officer • Federal government attorney

This is in your profile, so I assume you're being so defensive because you have some kind of skin in the game, even if it's blind faith and trust in colleagues you probably don't even know. Your "side" is perfectly capable of being immoral and unethical, and this is the perfect example, even if you seem to think it doesn't meet some arbitrary standard that only lawyers would think is appropriate for this conversation. People have explained to you clearly where the problem is and why. I think it's time you distanced yourself emotionally from the issue and try to look at it from the point of view of somebody who isn't a government employee or in the Navy. Hell, consider it from the point of view of a whistleblower or a journalist.
The cutoff is definitely much higher than $80k in the Bay Area. You would basically be homeless at that level of household income.

Author here. Slack is undoubtedly sticky, although I challenge the assumption that all integrations need to be replicated in a niche play. Those who did adopt Level were willing to give up a number of integrations that were low-value to them or were just causing noise that proved unnecessary.
That Hertz hasn't put in procedures to verify reports before telling the police sort of puts the responsibility on Hertz doesn't it?

They've actually got a policy where they encourage/approve of the copyright infringement of working around the paywalls. But they REALLY don't like people talking about it.

The young homeless people I knew on the East Coast were almost universally "travelers". They'd hop trains to Florida in the winter and migrate north in the summer. Most of the East Coast is inhospitable at one time of the year or another -- when the low temperature is above 70 F (20 C) or below 30 F (0 C) it can be very hard to sleep outside.

Hertz knew they had lent it to someone too.

I’m sure it was a mistake. But after a couple of times, such mistakes graduate from “oops” to negligence. Why is Hertz not checking their records more thoroughly before reporting a car stolen? After the first dozen false arrests, why are they not poring over all of their camera footage and paperwork and interviewing every employee from the site where it was supposedly stolen before they report it to the police?

The problem for me with Aldi in The Netherlands is that most of the stuff I buy there are so salty, it just tastes bad.
For me it's not the cost and the 'brutal' is what I want, products stay where they where the last time you where in, the signage is clear and the product choice is decent cheap, good and not expensive.

It's basically what I want a shop to be, somewhere to buy stuff not an 'experience'.
I don't think it matters if the people are from Iran. It's still people messing with a hospital and paying them, for now, is the best strategy. Then a system put in to where paying them isn't necessary.
Oh, you forgot their software spinoff Micro Focus. 20 years of saying HP <softwarename>, everyone in meetings correct me with Micro Focus....old habits die hard.

I just hope it is not like other companies they bought, rebranded and just sort of update them a little but no real innovation (software mostly i mean).

"Against this backdrop, the luminaries who do succeed dramatically change our lives, which could be seen to vindicate tech’s mythology of itself. After all, we _feel the impact of those successes with every stroke of the keyboard, every block of a troll_."

Is that really the narrative, or is this journalist using their platform to push their viewpoints while they report news?

If the ultimate vindication of the technology industry is that we can use it to completely filter out people we dislike from our lives, then we should take all of this and smash it right now. We should focus our energies into building connections between people, not tearing them down.
For anyone reading this who has login access to a production SQL database...:

* Change your account to readonly. Make a new admin account, and put its credentials somewhere hard to get (and audited!).

* Make a directory in git for 'one off sql statements'. Make them all go through code review and have an automated system run them on merge/deploy.

* Enforce style rules with a linter/test, like "UPDATE must have a LIMIT"

* Anything the above process is too burdensome to do should have an API or admin interface built for the purpose.

* Aim to eventually get rid of your readonly account. A leaked customer data dump could kill the company and shouldn't be available to any malware on your machine. You aren't as secure as you think you are.

That's correct, I was referring to feature-richness.
"The store displayed high-end kitchen and grill tools, sets of cheese knives, truffle-flavored potato chips, wine, small-batch chocolate, Wagyu beef jerky, buckets of flowers, and a variety of small, high-design jars containing the sorts of transactional condiments and ephemera that often circulate as hostess gifts: preserved lemon paste; pork lard; red-pepper jam; hand-poured candles. Chunks of pink Himalayan salt were packaged with miniature graters near a Scandinavian-looking guacamole press."

Quite an insight. Costco has the similar product strategy with narrow product offering, and it's doing quite well.
In the last year in my neighborhood Aldi and Lidl have opened up stores across the street from each other. Lidl announced they were building a store and the following week Aldi announced they were opening their store across from them in a space which used to be another grocery store.

Aldi should have been able to open long before Lidl but the renovation of the space took forever. Whenever I drove by the were ever at most a handful of workers and for periods of time no work got done.

Lidl had to wait until their proposed building gained zoning approval to start construction which was several months after Aldi began construction; however, whenever I drove by the Lidl site it was full of construction workers. They managed to open only 3 or 4 months after the Aldi when it should have been at least 8 months after.

During the 3 months before Lidl opened Aldi did good business due to their low prices but no one I spoke to was thrilled with the place. The inside was dark and uninviting. The vegetable and fruit selection was poor and in very bad condition. Often it was moldy or wilted. The selection was awful but everyone assumed that was part of what you traded for the low prices.

Lidl opened and the building is full of light and welcoming. There is a frequently changing selection of quality fruit and vegetables. In almost all product categories Lidl has more selection with prices similar and frequently lower than Aldi.

The Lidl has remained constantly busy since opening and the Aldi has become a ghost town. If the experience here is typical than Aldi is going to have a tough fight on it's hands as Lidl expands in the US.
Aldi vs Grocery Outlet Flame War!

Funny how two grocery store stories appeared on HN within a day of each other.
They are allowed to go to Puerto Rico (or AK/HI/Guam), but they couldn’t then continue to Miami or Norfolk (or Long Beach) or another US port from there, which makes it uneconomical for them to stop in PR/AK/HI due to the Jones Act.
I'd love to see that. When a video surfaced a few years back, of the Santa Ana riverbed behind the Big A in Anaheim, it was much easier to share the video with family and friends who were unfamiliar than it was to try to explain what I was seeing (I stopped into that particular tent city a couple of times searching for an ill family member who contends with bouts of homelessness).
Wouldn’t more spending homelessness at the state level incentivize homeless migration into the state, therefore possibly counteracting the effects of the spending? To me it seems like this is something which needs to be addressed at the federal level.

Anyone have any research they can point to about this possible issue?
The Nordic countries are not big on service, because you're a big boy and can take care of yourself. The reason IKEA came from Sweden is because that's the attitude here. Shop clerks aren't there to be your servants. They are your equals. Foreigners often complain of the awful service they get here, but it's a deliberate part of the working culture.

You can say that. Not sure what it has to do with the subtopic of JPMC backend, in context.

To your new point (which was the original contention), language use is difficult to track, in aggregate. To assert that Java is more used than C# would require some evidence. Every metric from any public source (eg https://githut.info/ to http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Language+popularity which is a different way to slice it), doesn't place C# in the top 5. This is because it's not used more widely than Java, precisely because the .NET runtime resulted in an inferior VM, but also because the ecosystem is less stable, imo. I'm confident that some form of C# will outlast Microsoft.

I suggest you drive with autopilot first hand before you think you understand anything about it. It DOES require human supervision and intervention; that is an expected part of the deal... and if you judge it in a different light, that is on you.

As far as taxis, Elon said they would have supervision drivers at first. This fact continues to escape the notice of people misquoting him and claiming he “promised” things that he didn’t.
These stats are nonsense.

As I've mentioned elsewhere in this thread, Scandinavians are big on DIY and minimalism, and not big on service. This is a common complaint from foreigners who visit, but it's the working culture here. You, the customer, a a big boy and can take care of yourself.
> Can you please elaborate? I could very well imagine a seemingly lone gunman who would indeed be a part of a conspiracy, and I have a kind of a direct experience:

So much has been written about the murder so I can't really add much of value. Here are a few facts that makes it obvious that murderer wasn't a professional - hence no conspiracy:

1. The murderer tried to shot Palme's wife from a distance of about 2 meters but missed. 2. The murder weapon was a loud and heavy revolver. Real assassins use (silenced) pistols. 3. The murderer kept the gun rather than disposing it which professional assassins do. 4. The deed took place in one of Stockholm's busiest corners on a Friday after salary (lot's of drunk people out). 5. No good escape routes. I walk past the corner many times per week. All the streets are wide and you have to run for about 100m to the closest hiding spot (a small cemetary). 6. OP was often without bodyguards. There would have been way better opportunities to assassinate him.

Roughly, this was the conclusion of the experts from the FBI, who steered the Swedish police away from the political conspiracy theory to the "lone gunman" one. People still cling on to the conspiracy theory though. I think it is easier for them to digest because then there was some "meaning" to the murder, rather than a drug addicted street-thug doing it for no reason.

Fun (sad) fact; in the 90's you could often see the main suspect of the murder Christer Petterson (subsequently released) sitting intoxicated on the subway or commuter rail. People of course avoided him.

The US is a huge ally of Israel but for very strange reasons. For one, it has a lot of Jewish people. But the biggest pro-Israel force in the US is actually the minority (still more than there are Jewish people) of fundamentalist Christians who believe that Israel's existence helps the fulfillment of biblical prophecy of the new temple in Jerusalem and the Rapture.

Just a quick alternative viewpoint: as a parent, I’ve been turned off by Aldi in the past.

Often with a toddler and/or car seat in hand, unlocking a cart (for example) is not just an inconvenience, it’s a dealbreaker.

I’m into the pursuit of efficiency and low prices, but there are some real world benefits of “full service” grocery stores.

One being an nicer experience for the disabled (in my case, due to being a parent).

I’m guessing they don’t have those motorized carts either?

Anyway, I’m happy that there are alternatives. We’ll probably give Aldi another chance when our kids are older.
I switched to Fastmail in January and it's been a good experience.

It even has a link in the setup that imports your existing messages from GMail.

I still have a couple of GMail accounts, and am surprised to report that in the last month, GMail has been getting more spam than Fastmail.

Fastmail also has far fewer false positives.

I recommend trying it. You can always switch bad.
”Two German brothers (Karl and Theo Albrecht) formed ALDI in 1946. In the 60s, they split the company in two”

Brothers starting a company and splitting up later to produce two successful companies seems to be a German thing. The Dassler brothers did it too, forming Adidas and Puma (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adidas#Split_and_rivalry_with_...)

Back to Aldi: it always surprises me that the two Aldi’s don’t get accused of forming a cartel. It is fairly clear that they agreed to split the market. I guess that doesn’t get them into trouble because a) there are other large players and b) they can’t be accused of doing it to prevent a price war.

Slack is cancer. I'm working with a client right now that uses Slack, and I bill every single minute I have to spend on Slack, so I know exactly how much time is wasted there.

People using what they have to get their kids ahead is just called "Life".

Why are nice neighborhoods more expensive than bad ones? Why are good school districts more competitive than bad ones? Why do parents go to great lengths to get their kids better opportunity?

There will always be motivation to find the best ways to "play the system".

Also, what actually shows if someone is a good student or not?

A student with lower adversity could still have immense pressure if their family has sunk so much investment into their success.

For example, there are Asian parents I knew that had their kids regimentally studying for the SAT since age 12 like they were practicing to become professional athletes. Their parents left their entire lives behind to come to America and work their way up for the sake of their kids getting into a good college then getting a good job.
I make 80k in Austin - a city that's still relatively high in terms of living costs, compared to the rest of the country.

On that I can afford to live in a very comfortable apartment without roommates, eat out at decent (non-fast-food) restaurants for basically every meal if I want to, have an active social life and hobbies, and still put about 10% into savings each month. I can easily say that making more money would not have an impact on my happiness.
