I think this highlights one of the oddities of the current shareholding investment system and how oddly "broken" it is on several levels. Wall Street has become infamous for being a horde of locusts seeking short term growth for one.

Most smaller investors wish for long term growth while being spooked by bad short term and charmed by short term growth. Most don't engage in voting and may not even have control of their vote but their broker.

Perhaps some of it is from fundamentally wrong assumptions about division of management and incentives. Especially given multiple ownership is possible the assumption shareholders care about the long term health doesn't actually hold. Voting system may be influenced by older school thinking that it was more like a country or smaller scale venture.

It is entirely possible for a large vote holder to push for short term policies and get out on top - and it wouldn't even be misconduct let alone something enforceable.

I wonder what a better system could look like - and how better would be defineable for that matter. With another layer in "how could it be introduced?". Since if it is just a matter of starting your own and proving it works better that hard task is ironically easy compared to say changing FTC rules.
> For a potential car buyer, this is a good incentive to steer them towards better choices.

Talking about a "potential car buyer" is assuming your conclusion. If the outcome is going to be a car then you're steering them in the right direction. But you're also steering them away from non-car choices that would likely be better for society.

> Or are you talking about tax credits? Perhaps? But on the other hand they were still paying more than what an equivalent ICE car would cost, so it isn't a free ride for them either.

It is a free ride - taxpayers subsidize them buying a personal car, whatever their personal motivations for that choice were. And it's disproportionately the well-off who benefit.

> In the end society hopefully gets a sustainable EV industry, at a lower cost than if the government had done it themselves, isn't that what we should be comparing it against?

It is essentially the government doing it themselves - ultimately public money is being pumped into these EV companies in the same way as if they were a part-nationalised industry, with all the problems that that implies. The goal shouldn't be electric cars, the goal should be pollution reduction - imagine putting the same amount of subsidy towards e.g. bicycles for poorer inner-city residents.

I thought I'd hate going to the gym. In fact, I still often don't want to go. But I go anyway, because I remember that afterwards I'm always happy that I went, and I'm really starting to notice the results. Posture in particular; my core muscles are getting stronger leading to much better posture than anything else in my computer-bound existence has ever managed.

I don't really bike for exercise; I do it just to get around, and I hate going slow.
> And maybe they deserve some slack.

They deserve a lot of slack. Apple's privacy approach may not be perfect but they are head and shoulders above just about every other major tech company.

I've written many privacy policies - for privacy-focused companies and for companies seeking to get away with the absolute bare-minimum. One of the best "quick and dirty" ways to assess a company's privacy policy without actually reading the whole thing is to count how many footnotes the document has. All of the important information that a company has to disclose but would rather not is hidden in the footnotes.

Apple's privacy policy[1] has zero footnotes. Google's privacy policy[2] has 51.

Sure, but the challenge is, if you're in a competitive field and you make it easy for your competitors, you're going to have a harder time establishing job security. Currently many fields like biology, CS, ML, physics have fewer well-paying job positions than contenders, so every competitive advantage makes a difference. I know plenty of professors who got there by carefully writing papers that lacked specific details on how to reproduce a cutting-edge, "hot" paper.
Assuming this is true: If you visit WF, your entire shopping needs won’t be met by the available 365-branded foods, which means you’ll either have to shop at multiple stores (extremely difficult if you are poor) or buy the remaining products at severely marked up prices, negating any savings the 365-brands products might have offered. In particular, produce, meats and other fresh products are absurdly marked up in WF.
>otherwise it will become a middling company run by an unimaginative middling corporate "CEO"

And this is distinguishable from the last 5 (+?) years of Zuck how?
There’s also no fresh food or produce. It’s all long shelf life processed food.
So, I used to work for whole foods in school. Management made a big deal about how if you used you employee discount and bought 365 brand stuff it was almost the same cost as shopping brand name at giant. As I recall about 5$ a month more. Admittedly this was 20 years ago but it still seems true when I go to whole foods once a year or so.
i can confirm this from my own experience. didn't use a bike to get around the city for years, but once i started, my (car) driving style changed noticeably.

for example, i do a lot more shoulder checks to the right. i'm a very fast cyclist and sometimes overtake drivers on the right (when riding in the bike lane). some drivers can't fathom a cyclist being faster than them.

the other thing is mirror checks when opening the car door. i even started to reprimand other drivers or passengers (depending on my role) for not checking. even though i'm riding fast i'm trying to be safety conscious and always assume a driver in a dangerous spot hasn't seen me; this is impossible for suddenly opening car doors.
10% of YouTube views is a significant portion of ALL internet traffic. They weren’t prioritising YouTube, they used that as an example to describe the magnitude of the outage.

It is easy to measure YouTube views, somewhat harder to measure the effect on a service as complex as GCP. I am sure they’ll have more to say about the effect on GCP services once they have more detailed analysis.

This is honestly a really dark pattern that I feel has trapped a lot of unsure/insecure adolescent men. I had a college roommate who had a lot of trouble talking to people, and constantly watched a lot of self help videos (which is honestly a pretty good indicator of self-improvement). However, he was exposed to a lot of rabid political rhetoric at the same time.

All it took to steer him away was getting him outside and with some nice people, but those who are more withdrawn I think are increasingly being exposed to this kind of content at their most impressionable time. It almost feels manufactured.
Nothing like that as far as I know. There are several tiers of Assured Forwarding, and after that it's Best Effort.

Actually some accounts have a lot of people protesting feeling the opposite - that the "capitalist roaders" had gone too far in laying off state enterprise workers. In other words supporters of what are described as "hardliners" supporting state industry. Obviously the few initial Hu Yaobang commemorators felt differently, but mass movements grow from wider interests. And obviously there was no mass movement as the protest failed.

I have to laugh at recent news reports of students being hassled in China. The students are trying to organize revolutionary unions and want a return to communism and Maoism. It is obvious the same Western newspapers tut-tuting the Maoist students being hassled would be fulminating if they took power and started moving back to the Maoist principles that they are espousing.

This is true. It is a subtle problem with carbon offsets that is hard to understand intuitively even if it's logically straightforward. It makes being a truly "Green" consumer difficult when a "Green" producer can turn around and sell carbon offsets or the like based on the product you purchased.

Exactly!! I run exclusively 2k and it's not the end of the world imo.

I'm running a 1:1 right now and holy cow. I know it's probably bias but I will say it's actually the best monitor I've ever used... I'm a developer so the balance between LOC on screen at full width is AMAZING. Color isn't fantastic on it but honestly I have two monitors flanking it on the left/right that are calibrated enough for basic print/photo needs.

The thing is - I'm still using it for things like PS and Illustrator because 1:1 works so well for complex applications like that... I just check color on a better monitor.
Apple WWDC 2019: Platform State of the Union
To be fair this kind of vulnerability is kinda common. All it takes is some AWS bucket to be left public. Surely you've seen it on HN for years? MongoDB for company X found with no password, government AWS bucket left public, etc.

That said it would be a feasible yet simple story to fabricate. The details aren't that important, just saying "we found a file with ip addresses that had services open with no password" is plausible but also not that specific.

Seems like all they need to do is publish their communication now that the vulnerability has been fixed?
Nah I think the more interesting metric would be total sales to populations served by both CVS and one or both of TJ and WF. There may be many more CVSes, but, owing to their small size, there are also many more CVSes serving a given population than there are WFs and TJs, such that those populations have the ability to choose one or the other.
Going to the gym is uncomfortable for you. For others it is a good time. Don't extrapolate to everyone because you are anti-social.
I doubt that's it. First, it's the same size and shape and position as the selectors below. Second, the usual "clear text" X only shows up when the input box is in focus. That doesn't look to be the case in the picture.
Also, “proper” grocery chains are often much more expensive (with lower quality items) in poor areas where residents can’t afford transportation. In those areas, CVS might not a terrible choice.

Kroger used to be so bad in our neighborhood that we drove 30 minutes (past upscale krogers) because their business model of abusing stranded populations was abhorrent.
Yeah 8pen was the one that first got me interested in alternative input methods. It was quite cool coming from boring horrible qwerty phone keyboards. I personally couldn't quite get it down, my consistency was very low. Still, sad to hear it's not available anymore, from what I heard it worked quite well for some.
EBS bandwidth limits are still quite visible under certain operations, simply due to the nature of the product, and anyone building large systems on top of it should understand those limitations, even if not directly visible, due to the nature of EBS (block attached storage connected to virtual machines of semi-unknown location), compared to S3 (generic blob store).

(An NDA with AWS also helps.)
Do you think the other shareholders would have voted to dump Zuck if they knew he did not have a majority position? This act could have been a protest vote knowing it would only reform his behavior, not remove him.

Similar to how people speculate that Brexit was only voted in because nobody thought the vote would pass- it was a protest vote.

Concurrency in Python: CSP and Coroutines
Lisp is not a functional language. Or, not an obligate-functional language. I.e. you can do functional if you like, but where it becomes a PITA, you can just assign. Because of that, many optimizations possible in obligate-functional languages are not safe. Because of that, you sometimes need to do your own such optimizations, non-functional-wise.

But it is still easier to get fast code than in an obligate-functional language, because in the latter it is indefinitely hard to predict where such optimizations, where permitted, would actually happen; and in some cases they are not allowed anyway. The tradeoff is that in Lisp (as in other imperative languages) you have to do them yourself where you want them. But you can choose to do them only in hot paths, a tiny fraction of your code.
My gym is just around the corner; a minute by bike or maybe a few minutes walk. In crossfit, you do the workout together and give high-fives afterward, which helps a lot with motivation. About half the participants are women, so not just dudes. I shower at home, but that's easy for me because it's just around the corner.

I admit the distance to the gym and the fact that it's crossfit and not something solitary, makes a big difference. If I had to go to the other side of the city, I wouldn't go so much.

A couple of years ago, I did HEMA, which was either on the other side of the city, or in another town altogether. Very inconvenient, but it was fun to do. Once I got kids, the inconvenience eventually won, and now I really prefer my sport closer to home.
I used to live in Dublin until recently and coming from a country (Greece) where food/coffee delivery is free (apart from any tip), fast and ubiquitous, I was taken aback by the fact I had to pay a substantial delivery fee.

The upside was that driver safety seemed to be taken more seriously (it's a cutthroat business in Greece and drivers are pushed to their limit, accidents being rather frequent in their line of work).
Don't defer Close() on writable files – Golang
Not my experience. I used mostly Linux for 15 years, and I had zero problems with laptops, external screens and suspend in the past 8 years. I have a Linux laptop that's used for demo hooked up to a TV, settings are changed from dual screen to mirroring all the time, then it goes to sleep, is woken up with the TV off, etc, zero trouble, it hadn't rebooted in 2 months.

And Windows still requires random reboots for updates, of course usually at the worst possible time (fortunately I only use windows in VMs for testing). God how I hate Windows, it's unbearable really, after 5 minutes at the third nagging stupid popup (update Java! update Acrobat! update antivirus! don't turn off the computer, installing update 2 on 10532!) I want to throw the thing out of the window :)

It also changes the color, which in many cases is inappropriate for the project. However, if it were being painted I would definitely consider it. I bought some Torrefied ash recently - it's weird stuff. Kind of like working with toast instead of bread. the sawdust smells odd, too.
Disappointing brain games and how I moved from using them to building them
Tiananmen is an extraordinary achievement of forgetting.

There we a huge number of people involved on both the PLA and protestor sides. There are some reports which claim thousands of people killed and gruesomely disposed of; those people must have had relatives. We (outsiders and history in general) have very little idea what happened, and a single photo which escaped the censorship.

If the gunpoint forgetting is maintained for the lifetimes of the surviving participants, we may never know what happened.

Of course, even in incidents which are hugely documented, there is scope for denialists and propagandists to sneak in misinformation.

Edit: well, looks like there's lots more. I've been misled myself by how prevalent the Tank Man photo is compared to all the other footage!

You are not allowed to pass on the right, but they are not allowed to stay on the left blocking you, either ("Nötigung").

This sounds very much like what caused Amazon’s last S3 outage. A configuration change applied to more servers than expected. It’s unfortunate to see Google didn’t take action to prevent this after it happened to AWS and instead waited until it happened to them before realizing they need to put in safeguards against this.

Looking forward to the final write up on this with more details, but at first glance the cause looks just like S3’s last outage.
As an adult, this is exactly what I want.

So tired of the unrelated drivel youtube recommends. I will gladly watch a few favorite channels all day but youtube wants me to either watch "similar" channels of 5% the quality or "top 10 hot girl fails" which, btw, I have _never_ clicked on why does it still recommend this to me?

Every few months I find another channel that is absolutely incredible and in line with what I already watch and I wonder "why was that not recommended before? why lower quality or unrelated videos?"

> They want to retain control over their customers;

Comcast also wants to retain control over their customers -- they want to sell customers internet access, while also selling ISPs and websites access to the customers. This strategy doesn't make the customer better off. If Apple treats their captive customers better than Comcast it's not due to any strategy of being a "middle man".
If you cannot trust me it doesn't matter.

If you trust me but are worried that someone else might break into the server it makes a huge difference.

Dementia Risk Ticks Up Near Major Roadways
On the other hand, I think that Zuck is demonstrating that he doesn't understand what the near future holds, based on the geopolitical upheavals we are seeing today. Facebook is going to need to change in order to grow, and Zuck has a specific mindset about privacy, and a nonchalance towards regulation, that probably won't jive much longer if he finds himself in a regulatory environment that actually intends to be effective at its job.

The mistake is compounded by the fact that he thinks that he knows better than those who vote overwhelmingly against him. Facebook needs a new tack, and he is stubbornly maintaining course.
