I don't think that "all" is true, and I'm not sure what "commoditized" means for IB more than any other HPC interconnect.

My medical friends say that csection births can have complications with fluids not draining fully from the respiratory system and sinuses etc leading to infections. This is one benefit of the squishing during natural birth to help squeeze out fluids where it is no longer needed. Sorry I don’t have anything to cite.

I think you could plausibly still call it bigotry even if the thing you thought you were voting on deserves to be voted on that way if it turns out that you were actually supposed to be voting on something else and you ended up voting the wrong way because of a kneejerk reaction to the wording.

With that said, this example is substantively different because "creation theory" is a term that has a very different meaning in common parlance than the one intended here. "Arabic numerals" has no confounding information other than the mere fact that they're being called Arabic.

I see your point, but I don't entirely agree with what you're saying. Tesla does tell drivers that they have to be attentive and able to take control of the steering wheel at all times. Tesla's own marketing department is not lying about this. I do agree that there are a lot of people and even tools out there that want to create the impression that Tesla's autopilot does not require the driver's attention: https://www.theverge.com/2018/6/19/17479316/tesla-autopilot-...

> It means a severely addicted and mentally ill person who lives on the street.

To whom? To me, "homeless" is "someone without a home" (I'd also consider someone living in a car to be homeless). It doesn't matter to me how they got there or whether or not they suffer from a mental illness or some ailment that makes it difficult or impossible to find work. Bottom line is that they don't have stable shelter, and that alone is a huge problem.

The solution for any individual who is homeless certainly varies based on their physical and mental condition, but I don't see a problem with counting all categories of people together.
The rest of society are victims of the "bad" homeless (so walling them off may be necessary), but that does not mean that they are not also their own victims.
>Eg. the 30% of the box thats the flavour that no-one (at this shop) buys, goes off and is dumped, for every box.

Nuclear power is by far the cleanest and safest, including wind power.

>In England, there were 163 wind turbine accidents that killed 14 people in 2011. Wind produced about 15 billion kWhrs that year, so using a capacity factor of 25%, that translates to about 1,000 deaths per trillion kWhrs produced (the world produces 15 trillion kWhrs per year from all sources). -- https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesconca/2013/09/29/forget-ea...

Nuclear power has 0.07 deaths per TWh. (https://ourworldindata.org/what-is-the-safest-form-of-energy)

1 TWh = 1 billion kWh, so multiply by 1,000 to get trillion kWh and you have ~70 deaths for nuclear, compared to 1,000 for wind per trillion kWh.

Fairly small sample size for wind power deaths vs nuclear (someone let me know if you find a better source), but I'd be very surprised if it didn't hold up with a more complete set of data. There have only been a trivial amount of nuclear power related deaths throughout history, with less than 10 deaths in the last 33 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_and_radiation_accident...

You should look up the history of Boeing and the Air Mail act of 1934. Boeing airplanes, United airlines and United technologies all used to be the same company. But all the arguments people use about Amazon today were put to Boeing then. Too much synergy allowing for less competition, too large of a company, etc. It was good for the consumer on the short term, but not the long term.

They were broken up by an act of Congress. All three companies have done just fine. And there's lots of competition in all three industries.

And as a guy working for Amazon, I thing if Amazon got split up, all the child companies would do just fine. The secret to success is the culture. I doubt it will ever happen though.

I'll believe it when it shows up in voting behavior. Nothing is going to improve until you change who you elect. Nothing at all.

FYI; someone camps out on my doorstep they're gone with one call; no debate. Your "homeless" problem is not a nation wide phenomena. This is you; the government you chose, the policies you voted for. No one else is at fault for this. It's you. Look around at what you made.

My thought is that, although much of this is common sense, retailers have largely lost the will to live. They waste a lot of money on typical corporate money pits, but tend not to try improving the retail business itself. From what I gather in what people say, having only been to one Aldi before (so I don't really have enough experience to say much); I think Aldi has bucked the trend, and is trying to do a good job, and that is why they are succeeding.

> depositing a quarter for a cart eliminates the need to pay people to collect carts

I've seen Americans remark specifically about shopping cart deposits a couple of times on Hacker News; I never thought there was anything special about it.

I think the vast majority of retailers and grocers who offer shopping carts, in the three Canadian provinces I've lived in, use coin deposits for shopping carts.

They still end up in rivers and alleyways on occasion, usually stolen by vagrants and hooligans, but the customers at least tend to comply.

You're not the only one. The daily grind of dealing with this shit on the streets and homeless/muggers on muni is giving me a noticeable rightward shift from my typically progressive politics. And I used to BE homeless!

My homeless friends in Berkeley pine about the good old days before the nuts, tweakers, dope fiends, and dirtbags started to multiply and swarm the community. If HOMELESS people are complaining about the homeless people in your city, you have a big problem.

Anecdotally, a crazy homeless lady was stabbing random people with scissors in my neighborhood last year, and I just checked up on what happened with her. Charges reduced to misdemeanors and set loose back on the streets. Meanwhile uppity rich liberals complain about police treatment of the homeless, and launch anonymous opposition to shelters and new housing development when they come to their neighborhoods. That basically sums up everything going wrong here from my perspective.
The cold hard truth is that just because you like it and want to build it doesn't mean anyone else gives a shit.

The idea that everyone should just roll the dice with months/years of their lives because they like an idea isn't actually tenable.

There's a store called Bulk Barn here in Canada where cashiers still do this. Everything is sold in bulk (flour, nuts, candy, etc.) out of giant tubs with scoops, that customers use to fill clear, unlabelled bags. The cashiers have this spinning cylinder thing that lists all the prices, but I've never seen them use it. Instead, they plop each bag on the scale and type in the code, which takes two seconds each.

I don't know how they tell the difference between all the generic powders that look the same, like white flour and rice flour, but they do. And if they don't, I suppose they just ask the customer.
So the problem is that all unearned income that isn't for tuition is being taxed the same, regardless of who it's coming from and who it's going to? Am I reading it right?

In California you run the cart up a curb, leave it in an empty parking space, or maybe give it a gentle push and let it roam free. Corrals are depots for broken and rusted carts.

> Indeterminism at the level of psychology is required for free will and alternative possibilities. That is entirely compatible with determinism at the fundamental physical level.

That shows a disturbing lack of understanding and empathy. A lot of people who you term "bad" homeless started out "good" but saw their mental state severely deteriorate as a consequence of being homeless.

And even for people for whom that's not the case, the solution is to find them help for their mental health issues. Yes, a part of that might involve involuntary commitment to an institution (though CA has lost its ability to do that for the most part), but... damn, "wall these people off from the rest of society"? That's pretty heartless.

It's a stretch to call it "hate". I mean, as long as we're playing with words, maybe you can classify "No opinion" as masked hate". A No vote IS NOT BIGOTRY. I like Chocolate ice cream more than Vanilla, and would vote NO on a school survey asking what flavor to serve in the cafeteria. I'm not bigoted against Vanilla
I think his counterpoint with the weather/meteorology undermines his whole argument and gives the determinism side much more weight. Just because you're modeling something probabilistically doesn't mean that its outcome is truly uncertain. It's merely a means of managing complexity for beings that don't have the processing power to deal with the raw data.

They interact. Being homeless or without money makes your mental health worst in all aspects. Having bad mental health just slightly makes you more likely to become poor (dur to more likely fired or just bad decisions).
Agreed, but I don't think that makes it useless to keep track of the general total.
I don't see how this could lead to the observed results. Nabisco shouldn't be any less interested in selling more Parmesan Garlic triscuits while selling the same quantity of other triscuits than Safeway should be. There is no party who gets a win out of just not ordering/selling the triscuits; this is a pure loss for everyone involved.
The only time I've done that in the current century is to confirm holiday hours when not made explicit on the web. eg. If it's New Year's, "are you open today, what time will you close?"

If the store is clever they will leave a pre-recorded message announcing holiday hours.
Nit: the avg person in the US spends 27 minutes per day on Facebook. This is small compared to TV/Netflix/YouTube, which is upwards of 4 hours per day.

Yea, like the news.
> The main reason I have always heard mentioned why they have a deposit is that shopping carts are really expensive and they don't want people to take them home, have teens do silly things with them etc.

I'm sure the deposit is just to encourage people to put the carts back where they belong, reducing the amount of work staff need to do outside the store.

If you're going to steal a shopping cart, the quarter won't factor in.

Fun fact: one of the founders of Aldi was kidnapped in 1971. A ransom of $3M was paid. After he had been released he fought a court battle to classify it as tax deductible business expense.

Debit cards often have transaction fees associated with them that the customer pays (as opposed to the merchant paying). Even when they don't, running it as debit doesn't get you cash back or rewards or various things that running a card as credit gets you.

Your typical bank card can be run as either debit or credit (same card, same bank account). But running it as debit usually has some serious drawbacks to running it as credit. You always want to run your American debit card as a credit card if the merchant allows.
Yeah, I think inflation's the biggest risk. It hasn't shown up in any studies so far because they've been too small. If 1000 people have an extra $2k/month it doesn't measurably affect prices; if 100,000 people have an extra $2k/month suddenly everything becomes more expensive.

Ultimately the fix for everything is more supply. Build more houses and the price of housing comes down. Train more doctors (or nurse practitioners) and the price of health care comes down. Both of these industries have strong institutionalized cartels, though.

It's often not about needing to put food on credit.

Many relatively well-off people run all of their expenses through a credit card (and pay it off in full at the end of the month) - some in chase of reward points, some just for convenience of carrying a single card.
Since I was the person who said that, What I said, very specifically, is that they aren't screened for advertising. Which is true. As another user mentions, there's basically no mail service that doesn't "screen" your email. Spam classification is a form of screening.

You're right. Getting to the real crux of the problem that someone faces but also are willing to pay for a solution is not easy.

Though I have had good experiences talking to different industries because it could be as simple as a 20 min phone call.

I find that if people are really facing problems that they want to get rid of and someone is genuinely interested in solving it for them, they are usually open to chatting. It does take some effort to reach out.

I have had success talking to 30-50 individuals before I come up with a solution and customer development is also a skill that needs to be develop .

No, the problem is that all the unearned income is being taxed at a prohibitively high rate, regardless of whether or not it is being used for tuition, regardless of where it coming from, and regardless of who is receiving it.

The rate they are using was established specifically to discourage wealthy people from exploiting tax laws to reduce their tax burdens. Now it is being used to discourage low-income students from accepting financial aid.

It honestly seems perfectly in-line with the Republican agenda: Reduce low-income people's access to higher education, and bastardize an anti-tax-avoidance law so that they can excuse the subsequent repeal of said law at the benefit of tax-dodging autocrats.
One important area where the analogy doesn't work: smoking can't be done safely in moderation.

Some people have trouble stopping themselves from going too far with Facebook. For example, comparing themselves to others, obsessively spending time, sharing things they shouldn't, or getting dragged into drama and fights.

But for others it's entirely possible to just get on Facebook occasionally, discuss innocuous stuff, and keep in touch with people. That's not destructive or harmful. It's not a "vice" (to use the article's terminology) for me to hear that a relative is doing OK after surgery or to see that a friend enjoyed their vacation to the Rocky Mountains.

Good question - mostly I guess no as they sometimes seem intent not to refill until other levels drop too.

Mostly this averages well enough. Yet for a few things - like tikka where ratios seem consistently wrong. As Britain's favourite curry, you'd expect a few extra jars of that in every box. Or Cumberland sausages up here in former Cumberland - just forget about whatever the other things in the box are. :)

Probably means going the other way that when they drop something there's a chance 1 of the 2 or 3 actually sold well.
