Amazon always had an official "we don't price match" policy. The price matching they did was always unofficial, but it's long gone now.

Some credit cards have price protection so if you paid with one of those, take advantage of it, it's really pretty easy!

I'm curious why the site is called Hackernoon. Here's a few of my favorite posts that I've seen on Hacker News:

Making My Own USB Keyboard from Scratch - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19181473

Hacking the Casio F-91W to Handle 1000 Psi - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20079488

Open-Source Controller for the IKEA Bekant Standing Desk - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19020257

To me, these articles really represent what "hacking" is - using technology exactly the way you want to, usually through modifications - and why this site deserves the title of Hacker News . They inspire us to see technology as a tool that serves us, like furniture or cooking utensils, not something you have to be generally "into" or some ecosystem to follow. Hackernoon's website predominately features articles on cryptocurrencies and blockchain, two things that really don't serve the general public [1] [2]. What's "Hacker" about an entire section dedicated to FAANG [3]? The Coding category of the site has sections on corporate philosophies like agile and scrum, but nothing on projects people have made - is that intentional? Who is the kind of person you imagine visiting the site?

Perhaps they did their own research on Libra and prepared those questions before and then asked Facebook basic questions about the design & implementation of Libra.
how did the meetup.com experience look like?

unlike all the other examples, you normally never want to pay for meetup.com if it is not a longterm subscription. it makes no sense otherwise, unless you have some weird corner case of needing to manage a large group for a short time, but then dissolve it afterwards.
Note: This is likely not as neat an analogy/example as I would like, but it seems relevant.

I used to be an actual heroin addict, many many years ago. Finding the next hit every day/every couple of days was nearly as satisfying as the actual rush of the drug itself.

In fact, this effect was so powerful, that the "come thru" message from my dealer, and driving over to his, would make my withdrawal symptoms subside nearly entirely, well before I'd actually taken the drug.

Brains are crazy.

Human Capital Management – What You Should Know
My parents lived in France for a while after they retired; so I've been there many times as a visitor. They lived pretty far from Paris in the country side. Things have changed a lot in the past decades in France. For one thing, the French have somehow been enthusiastically embracing the north american concept of strip malls with huge super markets and fast food outlets with such names as Pizza Hut, Burger King, etc. as well as a few local variations of these. Most smaller cities have these at the edge of their town and the local retail sector has been struggling to compete. The food in these supermarkets is still pretty good but the food in these fast food outlets mostly isn't.

The french are the proto-snobs; they pretty much invented the notion of snobbery and their cuisine is a big part of it. But it's an invented tradition and it's a very recent thing (at least their cuisine is). And indeed it is past it's glory and lot of the lower class French are growing up eating the same kind of junk food that everybody else is getting obese on. However, you could do worse in the French country side than going to some family run place that is frequented by the locals (as opposed to hordes of tourists). You'll be eating pretty decent food generally. This still exists and people are fiercely traditional when it comes to this stuff. But it's not as widespread as it used to be. But buying local produce is a thing and generally it is pretty good stuff given the climate and farming standards.

The reality of food in France and elsewhere is that it is rooted in a long tradition that is based on history, people moving around and importing their traditions, and people discovering ingredients. E.g. tomatoes and potatoes are relatively recent additions to European cuisine and yet considered staples of local cooking across Europe now.

For example, if you go to Italy, there is history dating back to the Roman era and earlier in some cases. Written history in this part of the world dates back more than two millennia. And Iran, formerly known as Persia, and formerly part of misc. historical empires has many thousands years of history. These places have interesting dishes that have been around in some form or another for thousands of years.

And you can get them from all over the world in most decently large cities across the globe these days. Including Paris. I think this is pretty awesome. I love that you can go to the middle of nowhere in the Netherlands and find a few locals that are passionate about sushi or something similarly foreign and find a few decent places serving it. This was not a thing when I grew up in the eighties.
What is "it" in that statement?

You also failed to assert what your correlation is.
I've never had nor seen a sugary coffee cocktail outside of a nightclub. Where were you drinking? Starbucks?
This is presumably an actually hard problem despite the comments. A pre-auth allows the acquiring merchant to capture that authorization and charge you. Sometimes these can be for $1 or more, depending on how aggressive the service is. Pre-authorizations are subtracted from your available credit/balance.

If the card approves the pre-auth, they are (presumably, AFAIK) on the hook for that $1 if the merchant captures the pre-auth. If many (unpaying?) users start charging you $1...
A lot of SDR stuff is like you're a person wanting to drive to the store to get some ice cream so you can eat the ice cream. So they give you the blueprints.. to an auto factory. So you can build an auto factory. Which will then build a car. Which you can THEN drive to the store.

Hope there's still ice cream left by the time you get there.
I'm someone who loves the new features even though I don't think they're "pythonic" in the classical meaning of this term. That makes me think that being pythonic at it's most base level is actually about making it easier to reason about your code... and on that count I have found most of the new features have really helped.
I think it was all for the best when Hacker Noon moved off of Medium and controlled their own destiny.

With this 2.0 launch, content is easy to come by - but I will say the various shades of green are a little intense for my taste.
> No, I don't. Buying something for the listed price is perfectly ethical.

Till you don't know the price listed was an error on their part, but now you know so it's unethical.

It's impossible to read almost any mass-media article about real estate without leaving wearied by loaded phrases and unfounded conclusions. In what other sphere is a decrease in purchasing "fleeing the market"? Where are the fire sales, or even, where are the begrudging foreign property sellers?

Still somewhat fresh in memory are NAR economist Lawrence Yun's bizarre rationalizations in the runup to the 2008-09 GFC.
Take it with a grain of salt.
SCMP is owned by Jack Ma. Jack Ma isn't going to die on this hill even if he agrees with HK. He's going to do what the PRC asks of him.
SCMP have maintained reasonable independence from the mainland so far. But if ever there was a time for the PRC to pull strings and use SCMP for disinformation, now would be it.
After falling in love with Clojure and then Clojure being rejected by my company, I so wanted Sweet.js to become a thing. Macros allow for some incredible magic and amazing productivity, in my experience. Unfortunately, Sweet.js looks abandoned last I checked. And I'd be surprised if I could sell my company on it.
At a minimum I expect that they would double check the price on their own browsers so I don't think your approach would work.

How do walk right into text book examples of modern antitrust issues and get mad people notice?

No, of course none of the strawmen are the issue, it's their vertical and horizontal sizes that break the theoretical math of competitive markets and the use of their weight to enforce their hegemonic authoritarianism on/against municipalities and small businesses.

That use of convenience was more to do with the hoops to jump through to pay for content that was region blocked. VPNing/fake addresses to be able to pay for content was rare, but it did happen a lot a few years ago.

It's less relevant to netflix perhaps. Because its more binary for me on Netflix. If its available on there I watch it. If it isn't I see where it is, if its too pricey I don't watch it.

Indie stuff is a different kettle of fish. I tend to buy direct from them. I've managed to pick up a fair swag of CDs and DVDs that I can't play because I don't even have a CD or DVD player on my PC.

The other companies can compete with Amazon, they’re just too incompetent to do so.

I don’t think anyone who lived through supporting pre-IE8 browsers would willingly subject themselves again to such an exercise in frustration.
I'm interested in finding out more about your final statement. Care to explain?
I agree those things are typical in articles like this, but a 40% drop in foreign sales can quite reasonably be described as fleeing the market. It's not a trivial decrease.
Wild. I think some of the best tv of the past couple of years is on Netflix. Dark, Haunting of Hill House, Glitch, American Vandal, Sex Education, just off the top of my head as top shows in recent history. Solid shows like Now You See Me just having come out. Solid movies like Always Be My Maybe just come out. Then guilty pleasure shows that are good too like Sabrina. And shows on networks that likely aren’t going to pull content for their own service like BBC shows with top notch content like The Fall are on Netflix too.

If I was stuck with one companies original new content. I don’t see how I wouldn’t pick Netflix for now.
Well, this is true that the known tourist destinations can rest on their laurels and provide mediocre fare, and I agree that Pat's and Geno's in Philly are in this camp. However, in a city where everyone eats cheesesteaks, you will also find some fantastic cheesesteaks like Jim's, which are probably as good or better than cheesesteaks anywhere else in the world.

If I were in Japan, I wouldn't necessarily expect that the best sushi is at the most known tourist destinations, but I would expect that the overall quality of sushi is better than in any other country.
Two counters:

1. You entirely ignored the thesis of the comment you responded to. Which is that other nodes can be implemented in more "mature" languages.

2. I don't buy for a second that new languages are more susceptible. You can attach pragmatic all you want to the sentiment but it's not an argument.
Python already has " as " operator that I think is very readable.

with open('file') as f:

I don't know why that didn't come out on top in the debate.

Not exactly pop, but there are some great weekly music podcasts that I listen to to hear new music, which tend to be a little more indie pop/rock/${genre} than pop :)

I don't think that philosophy was ever truly embraced to begin with. If you want evidence of that try reading the standard library (the older the better) and then try running the code through a linter.

I have no opinion on this new feature, so I can't really engage in that debate over it. I still see no reason for smaller languages like Python to not operate as a true direct democracy. There's clearly frustration over the leadership in the PSF, so much so that Guido capitulated under the stress.
So if you don't want to get robbed, you rob everyone else in anticipation?
Yes, that’s why I didn’t say that.

What was it? Like 36% decrease in foreign buying overall? China specifically was like a 60% decrease?

I'm not an expert or anything, so what I think means exactly jack. Having mentioned that, those decreases seem to me to be far in excess of anything that could be reasonably explained by economic factors alone. Something must be going on.

"Fleeing" seems like a legitimate label for it.
Interesting, it's the second mention of Unicomp Model M. I have been working on a $20 Dell Black KB216 keyboard for over a year but have not been enjoying it.
There are a few that are selling out to developers while using this very idea as an excuse. Santa Monica, CA, being a prime example.

Santa Monica's kangaroo council (ruled illegal by state law, but wasting millions more taxpayer dollars in a futile appeal), has started deleting parking requirements from building codes. This is a massive giveaway to developers and a long-term theft from taxpayers, which will destroy the standard of living in neighborhoods around these developments. The public excuse is that this will somehow cause public transportation to magically appear, or promote walking or biking. BWAHAHAHA! Yes, when I buy groceries for my family, BIKING is a totally viable option.

Leave it to corrupt U.S. politicians to take foreign ideas and use them as cover for taxpayer rip-offs.
Have you seen the internals of the rand library? HTTP uses interfaces cleverly to detect optional interfaces. Today I found out that rand.Rand does a type check on every core method to see if it’s source is the hidden type for global methods.
My uneducated prediction:

The next recession is triggered by a number of major Silicon Valley business models failing (e.g. Netflix, Uber, etc).
Steer clear of the fashionable, and pick their brains about simple foods.

How carefully do they cook their pasta? what is their favorite family of cheeses? brand of tahini? etc.

In my experience, when one obsesses about food, one sweats the small things that make a difference, and delights in them. Terroir, in other words.
This is useful, but two totally different functions with the same name distinguished only by the presence, not even the value of an unused argument. Where else does anything like this exist in the language? Seems problematic.
Well, always using those words would say something about the culture, not the language.

In my language journalists created a new word for it that was met with resistance first, but it doesn’t corrupt another word and it has been added to all dictionaries and is used heavily.
i have noticed over the past few years that more and more people with a technical and science background go into politics. it happened in singapore, china, a few countries in europe and it's probably happening more and more everywhere.

in general i think this is a positive sign.
It was flippant humour at being likened to a degenerate despite a lack of details as to what my situation actually was.

He's added more meat to the comment now, and I've replied to that.
The post would be informative (only) had he been showing how easy it is to get others' usernames but not actually taking it. I mean, imagine someone wanting to demonstrate how easy it is to kill someone when he's walking on the road.

Exactly. The funny thing is: It's basically the same thing as the "prime day" itself.

Provide stuff at a price point no one can compete - do this just good enough to hook people and keep the thought in their heads to buy at your place.

Not totally reasonable when thinking it through but that's just marketing of people who know how the human psyche works.

@amzn marketing: well done.
I don't know what you're ordering, but good/excellent quality espresso is readily available throughout Australia and New Zealand.
Of course, another example of how React is the software engineering paradigm shift of this decade. Comparable to last decade's shift from desktop to web apps.

Interesting that React is fundamentally an invention at the level of programming language design, an insight about how to best express UI behavior. This means we could have had it (or any mainstream functional reactive programming) much earlier or later than we did. It came on the scene at an arbitrary unpredictable time.
This. It was really hard to enforce supplementary style across my team to match common conservatism in popular codebases (e.g. only return a single value or a value and bool/error. Don’t expose channels in APIs) when K8s so blatantly fails them.
No I don't suppose so.
I don't believe in "offsetting personal footprint". This idea appeals to personal guilt, while aims at filling the pockets of the founders. The solution should be going after companies who make products that break by design after certain time of use, thus forcing the customers to buy new items. If done right, this will be painful for both companies (many will have to close the shop) and for the people who are used to cheap shiny stuff, but the result will be a cleaner planet and healthier business model.

Compare that debt to the debt of Disney or Comcast or AT&T. It’s nothing.
There's too much content making it feel nothing special.

Disney+ will have original shows from legacy IP (star war shows, marvel shows, pixar, etc) and HBO Max if WarnerMedia is smart will create live DC character TV shows or fold the DC Universe into HBO Max, along with Friends and all their 100 or more year old legacy content they can pull from. Though so far HBO Max the shows announced looks Warner isn't following Disney+ playbook which seems dumb.

Personally Netflix can nor will ever compare or have that type of strong legacy content needed to compete against Disney+. I only use friends or family accounts and again when i do there is so much content Ive never heard of with popular actors that i just sign out/do not even use it for free. Clips on Youtube suffice(mac mini connected to TV) and it's forever playing things I like works for me.
I see it more as people rationalizing their own decision to take advantage of such an obvious mistake.
This. 10 out of 10 discussions I have around this topic with people looking to move out of the Bay Area results in the other party realizing money isn’t going to net out in their favor.
I will keep that in mind. A wrist rest is good to have, but I would probably need to test the arrangement.
I believe groovy made this popular rather than arc, and it's likely where kotlin's come from, due to being in the java ecosystem.
If you feel like you need to defend them from the accusation that they're doing marketing, it means they're really good at marketing.
Don't they have one more side?
Never thought a company like Adobe can do this! Too much of harshness.
It lags a bit in releases, but I understood pypy to be essentially successful?
Anyone can go out of business. Netflix going out of business right now is highly unlikely. Your comment is asking this in response to some specific stats with no comparison to how competition is doing. If those stats and numbers are making you question Netflix then you should be questioning most if not all media companies much more.
ＷＨＯ declares Ebola outbreak an international emergency
Something interesting about those numbers - the average sale price of the real estate is 425k to 450k.

Also interesting is the average price for each property dropped from last year to this year (from 450 to 425).

Dunno what any of that really implies but thought it was interesting.
In the video, Rep. Riggleman doesn't find issue with Rust being international; he instead notes that one of the primary committers to _Libra Core_ (not Rust) is Nigerian.

I had a similar response to yours when I read the top-level comment, but watching the video it's clear that his issue is very much _not_ with Rust having an international development team.
