would this just push the minor-large brands (aukey, anker, etc) into marketplace? Or are these minor-large brands already in the marketplace?
Ripe raspberries are very delicate. Some of these small fruits are sometimes picked directly into the final retail boxes to minimize handling. I don't know if you can apply those methods if you're not then processing the fruit further into jams or juices.
There's also Deepin[1] which is mainly developed in China, though it has pretty good internationalization.

A larger problem is that Docker is nearly inherently unreproducible.

For this reason, Google doesn't use Docker at all.

I think you forgot about the Chinese government who is interested in siphoning and censoring information.
Sounds like a great browser extension: identify, with a % of confidence, if the product is available from an Alibaba wholesaler.
To be fair, it's probably a while since I've been to a McDonald's toilet - I've not chosen to eat there for years.

Maybe I'll have to start frequenting them more and reviewing their toilets ;)
Of course not:

"nothing compared to the cost of food [...] still about double the cost of the cars. The cars are not the difficulty here."

"What they could not afford would be food."

"What you can't do is feed 12 children on that."

However they could actually buy the cars. Relative to food, cars are cheap. There is often help available for food though, so maybe a family of 12 could actually get by at the 40th percentile income.

More realistically, a family with 4 children can do just fine. That would be $12,000 on food using my rate, although careful shopping might cut that in half. THIS IS NOT POVERTY. Poverty is more like that person who posted to Hacker News last week that they lived on $20,000 per year, in Manhattan of all places, sharing a kitchen and bathroom with other people. Well, they did have a roof and a place in a fancy area, so that is the better end of poverty.

Here, a typical budget (from smartasset.com) for the 40th percentile in my part of the USA, both per-year and per-month, with 2 adults and 3 kids:

9192 766 child care
3948 329 medical
11580 965 housing
5952 496 food
6960 580 transportation
2724 227 other
3024 252 savings
6480 540 taxes

It's a bit high for housing due to me being in a fancy beach town with a median house price of $250,000. The median house price is $150,000 in the adjacent town, 4 to 6 miles from the beach. According to zillow.com that would be about $904 per month, or $10,848 per year. This is a mortgage, including taxes and PMI and other insurance. It'll be a stand-alone 3-bedroom house with a yard.

For those who are serious about a family, the mother usually stays home. That cuts income, but it also sets the child care expenses to zero. Numerous benefits become available and the taxes go way down. Adding in the 4th kid is quite possible. Nobody will need to starve. I just checked Texas, and this example family would qualify for $10872 each year in SNAP food benefits. Heck, that is a profit! More than $400 can be saved every month, so being unable to cover that kind of expense is a choice.

The family from the article is unlikely to be wealthy. He was a skilled engineer for a government contractor. I'll guess that there was a salary of about $150,000 to $250,000 in today's dollars. That is below the typical Hacker News standard of Facebook, Google, Netflix, Amazon, etc.
The long tail DOES prosper. Nothing is stopping small vendors from selling their products on the Amazon marketplace. If true, it’s just suggesting that Amazon will no longer place purchase orders and hold inventory on its books.

Even with automation of on-boarding, scaling the selection still requires scaling inventory costs if it’s merchandised by Amazon itself.

Is there any benefit for Amazon to implement that? :(
If we weren't here, that'd be a good thing.
I've already stopped using Amazon.

They are significantly more expensive than Walmart. Which is new, this was not true 4 years ago.

They don't have the selection of stores like digikey.

They lost their purpose completely. I only use Amazon for Email due to modern Email standards.
I'm trying to find anything in this piece that moves it past a Grumpy-Old-Man-Complains-That's-Not-How-They-Did-It-In-My-Day argument. I'm not seeing it. No logical or imperial arguments.

Grade inflation does mean an "A" doesn't mean what it used to.

But is that bad? (Or good?)

Letter grades are an arbitrary measure and are most generally used to compare recent graduates. For that gradual inflation is not a problem. (And, if you were comparing between generations for some reason you could apply an appropriate adjustment, though it's pretty unclear why you'd be doing that for anything serious.)

There also seems to be a strong implication that we used to have a stronger "fail 'em out if they can't handle it" approach to education and that we should return to that. I don't know if we actually used to (didn't seem that way to me in my day -- the mid-to-late '80s) but even so, I doubt this is an effective educational strategy for a large proportion of students, which leads to an inefficient educational system. (That is, it ends up providing an effective educating fewer students at a larger cost than other approaches.)

So, low-quality arguments. Not surprising though... they let anyone write opinion pieces these days! <-- this is a joke

Right - this isn't new, basically everything you've said also applies to Walmart but twenty years ago.
Tell HN: Work at a Startup Expo will be at YC on Saturday, June 29
Last year, we revived the "Work at a Startup" event for YC companies and prospective hires to meet each other in person (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17367707). The format has proven to work well, so we're doing it again. The 2019 event will be on Saturday, June 29 at YC in Mountain View: https://workatastartup.com/expo

Many engineers are interested in working at smaller companies. But there aren't many efficient ways to meet a bunch of them at once, and it's a ton of repetitive work to seek them out one by one. Meanwhile, hiring is the biggest challenge most YC startups are facing. That's an obvious matchmaking problem, and bringing everyone together in one big event is one thing YC can do to help address it. It's a fun and interesting day, too!

This year, we're bringing together 40 YC companies in one place. Rapid-fire company presentations—like Demo Day, but for engineers instead of investors—will give you a way to quickly survey the companies. Following this, we'll have a casual open house for you to engage one-on-one with any founders and early engineers who you thought were interesting.

New this time: We've heard from people who are interested in joining somewhat later-stage startups, because they think their skills may translate better to roles there than at the classic 2-to-10 person early stage. So this year we've included a number of larger startups, like Gusto and Sift Science. These companies have specialized needs across data, infrastructure, security and more. We hope this gives you more options to match your skill set, interests and risk appetite.

Working at a startup is for sure not for everybody! Justin Kan covered this in his post here: https://www.atrium.co/blog/work-at-a-startup/, and HN users are never shy about pointing out the downsides. But I can tell you from personal experience that the upsides are powerful if you're in a position to go for it. For me, working at startups has been a unique opportunity to work closely with talented and experienced founders. (Many founders at this year's event learned to ship products at places like Square, Google, Linkedin and even Gusto.) The magic of working with a small, closely aligned team and the feeling of true ownership and impact is something many of us long for in our careers. The intense learning curves, the chance to personally grow rapidly along with a company—these are experiences which those of us lucky enough to have would never trade away.

Of course, there are no guarantees: it's a classic risk/reward tradeoff. But if you're tired of feeling stuck and uncreative in a corporate situation, or no longer really believing in what you're doing, and part of you is longing for greater ferment, impact, and adventure, come and spend the day with us and check out the other side of the equation.
I hope to see you there! https://workatastartup.com/expo

Amazon is no longer the lowest cost and highest quality store.

They have become just another store.

This is completely true.

We used to do some development work for a client in florida. They sold all kinds of batteries on amazon. One day, a single dispute brought their whole business down. They had a whole warehouse of employees and they all got fucked because some temp employee somewhere in the world half-read a dispute while hungover from the night before and clicked a button.

No appeals, no recourse. Your entire company shut down just like that.
Because they allegedly have strong ties to the Chinese government. So theoretically they could build backdoors to critical infrastructure used by ISPs and other network providers.

As for you main argument, we can worry both for Huaewei and Google/FB. It's not either or the other(s).
The left has become muddled in its messaging these days. They see crisis and imminent calamity everywhere, but they can't articulate a clear rationale for why drastic action, like shutting down FB, should be undertaken, or what concrete goals they hope to achieve by doing it. All that is known for sure is that Facebook is the target du jour, and therefore calling for drastic action is a sure way to get media attention and clicks.

Fair enough on the first part. I misread.

I don't agree with the second bit about valid controversy but it's not worth arguing.
This , indeed, has been coming for a long time.
So Amazon is going harder into the marketplace side of things, turning Amazon from an online retailer into another version of eBay? This doesn't sound like a positive move for me, but I guess that doesn't necessarily means its bad for Amazon's profitability if other people don't mind rolling the dice on random products by relatively unknown sellers and manufacturers.
Family and Friends post boring stuff for the most part. I was on Instagram for other things like photography, interior design and memes. The first 2 categories will obviously have "sponsor content", but when meme pages started shilling products, it was over for me.

Indeed, I will never stop being amused by the hysteria over the GDPR.

You know what makes it really easy to comply with the GDPR?

Stop spying on your users.

Just stop.

It infuriates people precisely because it threatens the ad surveillance economy this whole website and most of its users have come to rely on. Consistently, the sites I've gone to with the most intrusive and aggressive complaints and reactions to GDPR ... are also the sites that are riddled with spyware and tracking.

It is very much a case of "methinks thou dost protest too much."
There is a simple reason why governments can't 'Call their bluff', because they are the ones bluffing. They brag about representing 400 million people, but in fact they are mostly corrupt bureaucrats who take money from various lobbyists and were elected simply as the lesser evil.

Facebook, despite its many flaws, is genuinely useful to many people, and governments can't simply shut down useful things, no matter how much they'd like to control communications. So governments even in semi-democratic countries have to carefully construct their lies, before they try to shut down a widely used site.

I bet you $5 that:

And

2) you might not represent a significant portion of their customer base.
I have to say, I don't consider

"{} + {}".format!("foo", "bar")

to be better than

format!("{} + {}", "foo", "bar")

Similarly with `result.try!()`, that does not look as nice to me as `result?`.

And postfix-macro syntax for await! would lead to code like

let result = sendRequest().await!()?.getBody().await!()?.Root;

or if we used this for `try!()` as well then it would be

let result = sendRequest().await!().try!().getBody().await!().try!().Root;

which just looks very noisy to me.

What if they controlled demand? Then we all would have to use them :-/
Also of note is that this won't do anything to address the criticisms of rampant counterfeit and/or garbage quality products on the marketplace.

If anything it will only make it worse, as many of shrinking number of items sold by Amazon will now be tossed into the garbage pile along with everything else in the marketplace.

unlikely a carcinogenic risk. No regulatory authority in the

It's possible, but after fixing lots of these, my experience says usually talking about stuff like clicking a button before a modal animates out of the way.

It's sort if a "bug" in that yes, clicking here and then here 1ms later doesn't do do the best thing, but it's basically irrelevant.

Testing is inherently a probabilistic endeavor.

"What can I do that is most likely to prevent the largest amount of bugginess?"

Fixing tests that rarely fail is -- in my experience -- a poor answer to such a question.

Ask HN: How to get a software developer job in Europe as an American?
I’m a US citizen but I’ve always wanted to live in Europe. It seems like the few times I’ve applied for a job in Europe I get dismissed just because I’m an American. Are there companies or countries that are more willing to hire someone from the United States.
They did start with the hardest berries so that it's easier to work backwards for easier fruit. Also the plan is to hire them out to farmers at a price per kilo picked,which is aimed at less than the cost of a human.
