I was able fact-check his claims, since I am from the city where Tesonet is based, and found none of them to be completely false or baseless. It turned out to be an open secret in the local tech community[1].

I think Big Tech care about internet access (=more customers and/or more people to advertise to), so the extent to which Big Telecom has poor access in rural areas, it's in Big Tech's interests to offer some alternative.

...but perhaps you're right that beyond that, they don't really care if there's just one choice in major ISP in much of the US. At least, the incentive to care is not as strong.

This is part of what I was in the middle of commenting. This article seems like it's trying to force together a narrative from unrelated datapoints. TJs is one of the smallest grocery store chains and WF is just a bit bigger, meanwhile CVS is the largest drugstore chain. It is also unclear to me how "retail food marketshare" is measured. Is it just comparing overall revenue among chains that sell groceries? Sales of, specifically, grocery food items? Share of people who have shopped for groceries at these stores?

Just because someone buys a grocery item from CVS does not remotely imply that CVS is their primary grocery store.

The USDA has better numbers representing the market. https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/food-markets-prices/retailin...
I'd call it a non-public corporation. A public corporation is one who's ownership is distributed among the public. The public does not have distributed ownership, as ownership would imply control. The public so-called=ownership has ZERO control over the corporation as a private entity has ALL control. As such, facebook is not a public company by the common meaning.

It is a public company in label only. This is a psuedo-public company as long as a single individual owns/controls the company.
In the same token, I think we should also hold Twitter accountable.

Have you seen their
"In case you missed X's tweets"
notification spam?

That's the "Some random nobody hosted a watch party" equivalent on Facebook.

And it can't even be turned off.

All this for what? To present to some investor on a powerpoint "Hey, we increased our conversion rates by 2% by faking notifications. I wonder if this is even legal to trick people to use a service by lying to them there's something they need to attend to.
Keep in mind that Walmart is able to beat everyone in price not by having less of a markup but by purchasing in huge volumes to get a lower wholesale price to begin with. Off the top of my head our typical store margin is between 20-30%. So yes, pretty high. That doesn't tell the what the company actually pays I'm sure. But markup isn't where we make the money.

Most sales, and particularly BOGO are loss-leaders to get people to sign up for the loyalty card. That's where the money comes from because now we have your phone number and email address and purchase history to sell. Every one of those coupons that prints on the receipt is a paid advertisement. CVS gains by promoting those products. By gamifying coupon use. And those ExtraBuck coupons aren't discounts but more like short-term microloans that CVS keeps the interest on.
If you think that majority voting rights give Zuck absolute power, think back to Travis Kalanick - he had all the voting rights in the world, and yet he had to leave.

Perhaps for programming, if one can only afford a single monitor, 2K 16:10 (2560x1600) would be better than the 1:1 1920x1920 Eizo offers.

That gives you the ability to split screen into two windows that have an aspect ratio very close to A4, sqrt(2).

With Eizo, the split is a bit too narrow or too short.

However, for a single application the 1:1 is amazing. And sadly all 2K 16:10 are old models on their way out...
Not in my experience. I have both a CVS and a normal grocery store (a Morton Williams) across the street. CVS beats the grocery store on milk price (e.g. Horizon) by ~$0.50/gal and on breakfast cereal (e.g. Cheerios) by ~$1.

Whole Foods 365 brand organic milk is slightly cheaper than CVS, but it's a slightly longer walk and has longer lines and is in a basement, so I tend not to bother. (I probably should go there more often.)
> Nothing prevents you from selling outside the App Store.

Apple does. They aren't 100% successful, sure. But we don't excuse the PRC's Great Firewall because people manage to bypass it either (not that the damage Apple and the PRC do were comparable). An unethical act does not become ethical because you're bad at it.

> You want to be visible to customers in Apple’s store

No, you want to be able to sell at all. Due to Apple's anticompetitive behavior that means selling on Apple's store. Your argument might be valid if Apple had a store but didn't force all Iphone and Ipad users to use it.

Maybe, I haven't reviewed the numbers in detail - but the need for GM/others to purchase the credits at the rate they do, enables them to continue pushing the ICE autos - possibly increasing the overall market supply, which in turn is just as bad / worse? Something to watch, for sure.
The biggest issue with true flying wing aircraft is that they are aerodynamically unstable. They can't be flown by humans, and I don't know how well they do in unusual configuration, things like stalls, spins, spiral dives, ...

The rules are different for commercial aviation and for the military. The goal of commercial aviation is to get people to their destination, as safely and cheaply as possible, you don't have to fight against an enemy. As a result, commercial aviation is not very creative. They tend to use proven designs and incremental improvement.

Making a civilian flying wing aircraft will be a certification nightmare, which may involve several full-scale prototypes, a new kind of training for pilots, etc... It is a world where there is still a switch for the "no smoking" sign in the cockpit that doesn't do anything because all flights are non smoking now. Removing the button would require re-qualification and it is easier to leave it there.

The B737-MAX fiasco is another illustration. Just look at how far their went just to limit change...

I'm not saying that a flying wing commercial aircraft can't be done, but I have a feeling that the placement of passengers won't be the biggest issue.

Not something that many HN posters will be familiar with, but if you're a holder of significant pieces of ARIN or RIPE IP space, you'll inevitably be approached by a number of suspicious looking companies that want to "rent" your ipv4 space (by the /24 block) for VPN/proxy usage.

The end result if you actually fall for their bullshit is that your IP space will be listed in every RBL until the end of time, and will have a bottom 5% rank in every IP space reputation/antifraud system until the heat death of the universe.

Every time I've been approached by these clowns, I've spent a cursory 3 to 5 minutes trying to find an actual business behind it (names of real humans, street address that isn't just a mailbox, location of real ISP infrastructure equipment at some real IX points) and failed to find anything resembling a legitimate ISP.
Facebook built a monster that eats democracy and shits cash. Now Facebook has lost control of the monster they set loose on the world.

Governments are trying to control it. Sri Lanka recently disabled all Facebook properties at the ISP level after Facebook promised to clean up incitements to violence but then either wouldn't or couldn't.

Just because a thing is legal doesn't make it moral or ethical. And a big reason why bad things remain legal is because bad things tend to shit cash.

I suppose you're free to do anything that doesn't get you arrested. The rest of us try to live to a somewhat higher standard.

Well, there is a real danger the web would split into two groups: those who care about privacy and use Firefox - so are a threat to several business models that are en vogue in SV right now, and those who use Chrome and are therefore better candidates for milking. Website owners would do everything to discourage people from using their websites with Firefox. Instead of seeing your favorite website in Firefox, you would see "Welcome to Oath family" or similar bullshit.
The logistics is solved, or solved enough at a price point the HN class of people can afford, hence the focus on the experience and community of it. The upper classes want fancy "experience beer" you go to some brewery bar to drink with your friends instead of just "decent, beer" that you drink from a can while sitting in a lawn chair on your own property.
I was disappointed the article was about ML and not about human learning.

When I was young, I got by on picking basics up quickly. Now I'm in my forties and I'm having to actually learn how to learn because there are no simple basics (in my areas) left (or I'm just old and the basics no longer seem so basic). Everything I read/listen/watch is a collection of boring rehash...and then I'm suddenly behind because I missed something while skimming the material I thought I knew.

The article title got me excited. :(

Flying wings that are controlled entirely manually exist. A favourite example (I know people that have flown these) is the Marske Pioneer[1]. An actual glider with highish aspect ratio wings that was and is quite flyable by hand

The design in question is more of a flying dart than a flying wing anyway. There is no reason to think it would be particularly unstable in pitch.

It's damn hard to have not heard of Cambridge Analytica or possible Russian interference in the US election.

I've seen some internal memos with zuck reassuring the employees how much he cares, those memos aren't written in a vacuum, they are responses to things going on. Are you suggesting that Facebook employees don't read the internal memos sent to them or lack any critical thinking on why they are sent?

Ah, now I see the reason for the downvotes. I just meant "Apple's language for doing iPhone apps," and, of course, that was Obj-C back then. I haven't thought about it since.
Fuel is fuel, wherever it goes there is a safety consideration.

The last crash I saw on the news had something nasty going on with the engines hitting the tarmac, the above wing placement of the engines is a safety feature as I see it, even though that design choice is more out of consideration for noise - it should be quieter for those living under a flight path.

From the evolution of the bicycle to the mountain bike I can remember that a big, thin-walled tube is stronger and lighter than a narrow, thick-walled tube. I know planes are different, but bigger does not automatically mean heavier.

You could have all of the fuel at the back, behind the passengers and engines. The flight control surfaces and some thrust vectoring could accommodate that.

A U.S company called Boeing know a thing or two about making automatic systems for mitigating against a less than perfect centre of gravity. They went for less than ideally located engines rather than less than ideally located fuel. Allegedly there have been a couple of hiccups with this system but the general idea is that not even the pilots know that there is a computer accounting for changes in centre of lift/gravity, it just works.

On Airbus planes it has always been fly by wire. By 2050 - when this V thing is supposed to go into service - the idea that a human should fly a plane will seem daft, if the computer is doing it all anyway then the plane does not have to be dynamically stable or even balanced from side to side. It should be able to precisely balance out the shear forces no matter what the conditions. You could even turn the thing without banking.

Tongue in cheek criticisms aside, it is better than my student project and a nice thing for KLM's 100 year celebrations.

Hey there! Big fan of your articles and videos. I've been building box joints recently and even though the forces they're subjected to are not nearly as pathological as what you tested, I enjoyed your box joints and dovetails strength testing article: https://woodgears.ca/dovetail/strength.html

Quick question: do you recall what wood you used for the box/dovetail article? It looks similar to the spruce from the earlier joint strength article. I suppose using a stronger wood would just get you closer to where the glue is failing more than the wood, but I'm just curious.

Less-quick question, feel free to punt/ignore: any thoughts on deliberately building in a very, very slight gap between box joint fingers? I would expect this to reduce joint strength (thanks to reduced force between fingers and surface area in contact) but potentially also mitigate wood stress from movement in service due to humidity. Though I imagine if a work piece is big enough for me to be concerned about movement in service, I probably shouldn't be using box joints!
>it takes about an hour to charge a tesla most of the way full at a supercharger.

while you aren't wrong (it's actually much longer than an hour from low-charge to 100%!), there is a caveat that charging in the 20-80% range is significantly faster, so stopping at a supercharger for more than 30 minutes is almost always slower than only charging the range which can charge most quickly and move on to the next one or your destination. And because of that Tesla has begun limiting max charge at busy supercharger locations to help prevent the issue of no stalls being available in the first place.

The superchargers are also networked and you can see how many stalls are open at any time, which really helps relieve any anxiety i had about it. Many other charging networks (like Chargepoint) are networked as well, and can show you how many are available, and even peak usage times.

I think the point of the survey was to gauge prejudice as opposed to determining if people knew the difference between numbers written in Arabic versus Arabic Numerals (Base 10 number system).

I suspect the biased responses were of the knee-jerk variety, meaning they didn't even have the curiosity to determine what Arabic numerals actually meant.

> There are four major wireless carriers, none with more than about a third of the market.

Can that be said for wired internet carriers? And can that be said at the municipal level and not just the national level? My point is that in many areas, people generally don't have a choice in who their internet provider is. So if you look nationally, yes, the coverage is split between several companies, but at the local levels the areas serviced are often carved up such that there are local monopolies.
Yup. I googled and found this page which gives some more insights.

Then again there are only so many planes that can land on a given airport in the course of one day.
This is a shame. App loads much faster than Maps. Maps is doggedly slow to load within the last year and seems to be getting worse.
Definitely sucks that the app is being discontinued, it was really handy when I had a layover and wanted to do some quick exploration.

VPNs and firewalls can't help when the cellular basestation is the issue. How would you prevent a malicious LTE client fron running these exploits?

no. It is actually a good value for the specs.
While there is some percentage of people who these compound movements would be bad for, the beauty of the progressive overload is that you can start incredibly light and strengthen your body overtime. When you compare older people who deadlift versus those who do not, you will often see a great difference in back pain and overall mobility. And for most people it is never too late to start.

And planks/step ups may be great, but they are no replacement for deadlifts and squats.
