I stumbled across this article while searching for something related to Amazon Logistics. This freight service and the article are both wildly interesting.

But I still don't know how to do what I wanted to do in the first place -- does anyone know if there's an API that allows querying Amazon Logistics tracking? Basically scan history and estimated delivery date given a TBA######## tracking number.
No reason you can't have more than one, either. You could even issue keys for people to act on your behalf (e.g. they get access to it on your death as part of your will).
The working group expressed an opinion considering the draft of the GDPR ("In its current prevailing form, we expect email tracking to be categorically prohibited under the GDPR without express user consent.").

I'm not aware of any major change in article 7 since that moment, so I'm fairly confident that opinion is still relevant. If you're asking if it's been tested/challenged in court or in a DP measure, I don't know.

Ask HN: What database for a small amount of records?
What production database would you use for storing a small amount of data(a few 1000 records at most)?
Let’s go over them one by one:

> Coast to coast autonomous drive, cross country summon mode

They have not claimed that they have achieved that yet.

> full self driving on highways from entry to exit

This is from the Tesla website when I search for the above:
“The currently enabled features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous” [1]

> the fsd fake demo video with "driver is there only for legal reasons"

Based on what evidence do you claim it is “fake”? That video is to demonstrate FSD and show the future value of the system. It does not say here is how you should operate AP.

> million robotaxis that earn you 30k$ a year from 2020

Oh shit, is it 2020 already?

> lidar is a fools errand

How is that even relevant to this thread?

> You need more?

More than the zero citations you have provided so far? Yes. Yes I do need more.

> Here's Elon musk in 2016 proclaiming self driving to be easy and solved. Showing entire lack of understanding what driving is like and why computers fail at it.

Again not relevant here since we are not talking about future promises here. The discussion is on how Tesla encourages its drivers to use the car today. If they say they are working on a flying car would anyone try to drive their car of a cliff?

Again, if you think any of the above are not accurate please provide citations for your claim. (I’m starting to think folks around here don’t know what citation means)

I shouldn’t have said repo, but rather some agreed upon unit of code. It could be a single package or file as long as all contributors touching that file adhere. You should not use black for any unit of code that you can’t get buy-in on. Black is a technical tool; it doesn’t solve political problems.
It seems to be funding, services and counting are all related. That is, open a new shelter and you're going to serve (read: count) more homeless.

I'm not disputing there have been increases in homelessness. And we are our brothers' / sisters' keeper, so I'm not taking a stand against funding such efforts. What I'm wondering (out loud) about is the accuracy of previous counting. That is, how much is an actual increase, and how much is due to the thoroughness of the counting?
I'm surprised that this rather uncontroversial article got flagged. Anyone have any theories as to why?
Honestly. Maybe it was the hype train that ruined it for me before I read it, but I just couldn't get into that one.The science definitely didn't do anything for me.

For reference, my current favorite SF is the Night's Dawn Trilogy. Not sure if that flavors my 'review' for anyone.

I come across people every day who seem stuck in analysis paralysis concerning some class of software problems.

They're typically reading every paper and book they can get their hands and engaging in endless discussions about definitions and hierarchies, but nothing of value seem to come out of the process.

I used to read a lot of books and blogs, but what works a lot better for me is to make an honest attempt at solving any problem before seeking assistance. At least then I know what I'm looking for and I always learn something worth knowing along the way.

> As the certainty of climate change grew clearer, nuclear power presented a dilemma for environmentalists: Was the risk of accidents or further spread of nuclear weapons greater than the hazard of climate change?

That nuclear weapons are spread by nuclear power is false. The type of nuclear plant that is optimized for producing power does not produce the right kind of products for nuclear weapons. These are produced in reactors more optimized for that task. Second, there are 31 countries operating nuclear power plants, but only 9 countries that have decided to develop nuclear weapons.

There were a lot of assertions in this article, but very little meat to back them up. I'd have liked much more detail on how he thinks alternative energy sources will economically meet all electricity needs globally, and more safely over the full life cycle.
Ive been surprised because in codebases I have worked on, you usually have an abstract rendering api at the bottom with multiple implementations for each platform. Ive been curious why you couldnt abstract out things like window creation, layout, rendering and implement the abstract api for multiple platforms.
Hopefully, this does not get down-voted.

I have lived all over the US, and noticed that only in California do I find young homeless people. They generally seem happy and even have dogs.

I never saw this in NYC or anywhere else on the East Coast or in the Midwest.

Is there a reason why the demographics would be different?
I would loooove this. Open one of your bookmarks and you can't tell it's the local copy unless you looked at the local path sitting in the URL bar. Maybe make an option to fetch a live copy though for sites like the front page of HN that are in constant turnover, but it would be great. Storage has never been cheaper, let me hoard!

You can even take it a step further and create a viewable timeline of all the pages you've visited in case you have something at the tip of your tongue, but need to retrace your steps and logic to get there. Browsing history is kinda lackluster for this. My last ten entries on firefox are three hackernews articles with "Add Comment" dispersed half a dozen times in that list. If I had something along the lines of zoteros timeline for papers I could probably find stuff way easier.

When pedants attack:
Weary = Extremely tired, exhausted.
Wary = Fearful or nervous about, having trepidation.

Example: I am weary from investing so much time and effort in Apple's platform. Being so deeply invested, I am wary of further investments until I can diversify.

This is confusing as hell because "wear" sounds the same as "ware" and weary is a real word and will not upset your spellchecker. Of course "weary" sounds different than "wear", with the first sylable rhyming with ear. Thanks English.

Anyhow, misuse of words like this reduces the impact of your communication. I hope this explanation can help you be a bit more effective in expressing yourself.

> And some rules make this painfully obvious even in less subjective cases. Eg: black formats dictionaries into a single line if they fit one line, which makes nested structures unreadable if they combine bigger and smaller sub-dictionaries.

Prettier for JS has a simple solution to this specific problem, and that is to follow the code's lead. If the first element of the object or array starts on the same line as the opening bracket, keep it as a single line if it fits. Otherwise, if the first element starts on a new line, put every element on a new line (explode the collection), even if they would all fit on a single line.

Black should consider doing this instead of the open PR to explode collections if there is a trailing comma[0], which feels... wrong.

Weather. I used to be homeless in Toronto (at lived in the Don Valley forest for a time) and it's actually kinda fun - in the summer.

As soon as that first cold spike hits, you feel like death inside.
They host your emails that is where this data comes from, if you don't like that then delete said emails.

The media's modus operandi is to try and implicate tech companies with supposed violations whether it's justified or not, they will gain clicks and tarnish the reputation of a hated competitor, there are no drawbacks, they also keep perpetuating the notion that utility and invention must be sacrificed on the privacy altar.
Would you rather spend winter in NYC or SF? Would you rather spend summer in Atlanta or SF?
Well you might want to cloak your star as well, doncha you know.
My own personal observation has been that I have so much brain juice to spend on things. How much brain juice varies based on diet, exercise, sleep, etc., but it is finite. Lately I've been learning how to spend it more efficiently.

My most recent insight has been that I seriously tax myself if I try to understand something too deeply. It's like I run out of physical memory with no swap file. If I spend Monday thru Wednesday during pegging the brain-o-meter at 100% trying to figure some flaky bug from 9a to 6p, I am useless Thursday and Friday. But if I work half as hard, I can pace myself for the whole week and actually end up getting way more done. And I also feel less interested in consuming all the things: email, HN, Reddit, yada yada.

It's kind if like tired begets tired. I don't know how else to explain it.
Any discussion about Taleb always leads to questions about why he picks such public fights. I've said this before:

The most salient anecdote Taleb tells about himself is the one where he's going onstage to debate an opponent. He asks his publisher if punching the other guy in the face would be against his contract, and his publisher notes that it would be very good for book sales.

All Taleb does is punch people in the face nowadays. It's probably very good for book sales. He notes elsewhere, rightly I think, that the goal of anybody seeking PR should be to get the attention of somebody more famous then them: since it's much easier to pick fights than make friendships, and either will do, he picks fights with anybody he thinks has prominence. I believe it's a persona, and he's a very good method actor.
> How likely is this scenario?

It's difficult to say. Exporting data in bulk isn't totally straightforward for your average user, and I'm not sure how long total CRUD access was granted. That being said, given that full access was granted, it's not impossible to imagine someone creating a report and doing a dump of customer data.

Though typically that may fall under NDA and not non-compete. NDAs are a little easier to enforce as far as I understand, but I'm not a lawyer.

Anecdotally, you will also see this in Denver; however, we have Winter, so it is not year-round.
Yup, there are lots of services in places like SF and San Jose for them, so they are flocking here.
Humble indeed. Your articles are a staple of game network programming and the ones I most often refer back to. Thank you for them.
They have them in NYC. They hang out around Union Square during the summer.

Some (many? most?) of these kids are homeless by choice, it's a subculture as much as circumstance. They flock to the Bay Area (Berkeley/Oakland, and the Haight area) to be a part of the scene.
It's not just California. You see the same homeless population in Santa Cruz as you do in Eugene. But these visible homeless are a tiny fraction; what we're talking about here are people living in cars and RVs.

Right, Empirica was the first "black swan" fund, which caught the crash of 2000. Universa was the next round, starting in 2007. That caught the 2008 crash.

For anyone thinking in leaving gmail, I recommend to get your own domain. For example: firstnamelastname.com

Nowdays I never get new emails on my gmail account and last weekend I decided to finally remove gmail from my phone (but configured to automatically forward just in case).

IMO, what Aldi succeeds in is doing more with less. Aldi's aisles, stores, and product ranges are smaller compared to big grocery stores. However, Aldi leverages a 'curated assortment' of products to offer good quality items at a lower price than other grocery stores. There's also 1 "Aldi Finds" aisle in the stores which seems like it's to beta test potential items or offer short-term deals on limited items (? - just my guess).

The German discount grocery chains are really taking off in the US with Aldi and Lidl. I would like Rewe to come to the US next.
I initially read this as "Homeless population jumps by thousands across the San Francisco Bay".
It would be great to understand why the Bay Area is seeing this increase. I haven't seen any studies that attempt to quantify this viz. the effects of local cost of housing increases vs arrivals from elsewhere vs mental health system failures vs ? It strikes me that understanding the root cause-through interviews etc-would be an important input to a policy response.

Which is probably better, especially with tuples instead of struct{Scalar[3]}. Doesn't fix

Yes, it adds a kind of creepy ghastliness to that discovery, doesn't it?
Uh... how many places have you lived in and for how long, and how much contact have you had with the homeless? And when we say homeless, what do you mean? Those who temporarily don't have homes, those don't want to live in a permanent structure, etc.

I've lived in the South, New England, Texas, and California. There are homeless people every where. Before you conclude that the demographics are actually different (I'm not disputing it is -- California is different but not as stark as you may think), ensure that your observations aren't biased (I don't mean personal bias but some places put more effort into hiding their homeless population).

I can see some value for those who want someone to automatically track what they buy. That may be useful for records, or reorders, or whatever.

There is a spectrum of choice when it comes to homelessness. One extreme are those with severe mental and physical disabilities and the other is... https://vanlifecustoms.com/vans

There are quite a few people who actively aspire to live in vans on the streets of the bay area. There are more who are on the end of having other options (but don't want to, say, have a connivance store job in a small midwest town) but don't take them for whatever reason. If you had a few resources, wouldn't you rather try to make your way to live in SF instead of NY, especially in January?

Being young makes it more likely that the lifestyle is a choice and when it isn't, being young makes it easier to migrate to the best possible place to be homeless.

I lived in SF for 20 years and now live in NYC. I see young homeless people here all the time but they generally look very down and out. The ones you see that are care free with the dogs are more "travelers" that benefit from the good weather on the west coast.

A lot of the more permenant homeless population in SF are mentally ill with nowhere to go.

My sister has worked in Aldi in the UK for 15 years. She loves it.

She started as a normal member of staff - they expect people to pitch in - you're on the checkout, moving boxes, helping deliveries, etc. Nobody is immune from having to do work.

She's now an Area Manager and still pitches in when visiting a store - she doesn't walk around with a clipboard, she helps the staff to do their job.

The wages are so much better than other supermarkets in the UK, but they expect you to work for them. Our local Aldi has been closed for 5 months while they rebuild it. I miss it so much. The Tesco nearby is far more expensive and has staff just chatting. The Lidl is more austere but is more efficient and cheaper. As soon as it opens again i'll be doing 90% of my shop there.

I've never heard is phrase and I really like how you phrased it. There's no way to determine the apathy of humanity more than being homeless and seeing just how little people give a damn. We're trained to ignore these people, and then when we become one, we see just how awful we have been.

On a more abstract level I feel he was trying to enable/enhance deep work, just this particular implementation didn't fly the way he expected it to. Instead of targeting people who are somewhat annoyed by slack and the like I believe the whole value proposal should be more along the lines of promoting the concept and benefits of deep work.
