I'm not involved in those, I merely use them for obvious reasons almost everyone uses them - network effect.

Also, that doesn't mean I like how these services work.

Yup but its like a cat mouse game. There never will be no crime so the in the government laws must keep evolving, just as the thieves get more innovative. But the laws are needed.

At least in physics you don't see nearly the level of trust until a study have been replicated and confirmed. You might see a few news articles about someone's cold fusion reactor, but there is far more skepticism and scientists in related fields are much quicker to not trust it unless it has independent replication.

Soft sciences don't seem to have a similar culture.

I don't know how it works in eg the US but Amazon's online grocery purchasing experience is really poor compared with literally every other competitor here in the UK in my view. The system of "add goods to a box until it's full based on size and pay by the box" just gets in the way as it's so alien compared with most online shopping experiences. The traditional supermarkets charge a fixed fee based on time of your delivery slot and it's much more intuitive (popular times are more expensive to allow supermarkets to smooth the deliveries).

Where I think they do get it right in that sort of space is the Subscribe and Save programme which must cannibalise a fair amount of supermarket purchases. The "set and forget" nature of it works really well for stuff like nappies/diapers (it's a bit more painful for things like toothpaste because the quantities/frequencies aren't quite right).

Historically the quality of their fresh produce was also relatively poor (not particularly fresh and lower grade I think, although that just put them on a par with eg Asda or Morrisons) but I don't know if that's changed since the Whole Foods purchase (I'd like to think so).

Honestly, as consumers, we can go after that too, if we really want.

i don't think death valley requires permits for backcountry camping, so i suspect it doesn't show up in the dataset.

btw, death valley has a lot of semi-backcountry options: places that require high clearance vehicles to access via road, may or may not have vault toilets, may or may not have water, and are generally pretty light in terms of utilization. they might be worth considering.
[I'm a bus proponent, but...]

It's turned out to be very politically difficult to establish and (just as importantly) enforce bus lanes in communities in the US. People get very upset at the prospect of giving up either street parking or travel lanes, and local politicians and the traffic enforcement bureaucracy has mostly sided with the people who complain. The result is either no bus lanes, or part-time bus lanes with no effective enforcement, which is basically the same as no bus lanes.

A bus that's able to use bus lanes (and possibly transit signal priority) to bypass traffic is a great thing, and would be appealing to people across the socioeconomic spectrum. A bus that's stuck in the same traffic as the cars has no benefit other than cost, and will only appeal to those who can't afford to maintain a car or are very ideologically committed to transit.

Buses would be amazing with bus lanes in congested areas and automated camera-based enforcement of those lanes. However, the inability of the political system to make that happen even in Manhattan makes me fairly pessimistic for that outcome in other places.

I still think it's worth investing in buses for those who need them, but if they can't bypass traffic they will be stuck at a low mode share almost everywhere.
Backcountry camping in Death Valley is magical if you know what you're doing. It's also a place that will kill you if you don't know what you're doing and you get lost, or panic when something goes wrong. Death Valley is also a park that's relatively easy to explore by vehicle and through day hikes, so it will always have a lower ratio of backcountry camping to other forms of camping than most other parks.

Coke is enjoyable to many, that's a benefit. Air travel and space travel also cause ongoing environmental harm, whose says the benefits of those outweigh the environmental cost?

Maybe we should ban them as well. All companies "burn" energy, effort, and time to produce profits, that's pretty much the goal of a company.
> My digestive system got wrecked trying to be on a mostly vegetarian diet over several years after the housing bubble popped. The gist of it is that the lectins (and other defense mechanisms in the husks) of legumes and nightshades disrupt the mucus lining of the intestines, which leads to leaky gut and stool getting into the body cavity and blood (leaky gut), which may lead to autoimmune diseases like colitis and arthritis. Something about animal protein heals this lining, probably because humans evolved as scavengers eating leftover kills and carrion from top predators.

Then why wouldnt you just make that the law without the silly roundabout shipping ruse?

Its using trade law to circumvent patent law.
Let me try and draw a diagram:

Api-gateway -> Lambda -> NATS -> docker backend on GPU

The backend is C++ and needs to be shielded as much as possible from the web. It also takes a fair wedge of time to deal with requests (1-5 seconds) THe rationale is the Lambda front end validates and routes, the backend replies.

Before we moved to NATs we had the added bonus that using SQS meant that there was no possible link between front-backend apart from SQS. (both lambda and SQS are outside of the VPC by default)

the backend has a strict schema, and to keep moving parts down it seemed wise to avoid having to plumb in a webserver as well. They really are badly suited to this sort of thing. They also add a boat load of extra latency.

We have a large number of machines, all of which deal with certain areas, This allows us to intelligently cache hotter areas closer to clients.

Request reply is a reasonable pattern for interacting with backends that are constantly changing capacity based on demand. It also, if done correctly can be a way to optimise for latency over capacity (depending on how you do it.)

With NATS you can ask for more than one response, which might also be useful. Some other systems use a "fastest reply wins" which guarantees a fast response at the expense of capacity.

I'm also not sure why in OOP-land, generics are this crazy experimental weird feature, when in functional languages, people figured out how to implement parametric polymorphism (the original term for generics) in quite reasonable ways. I get that subtyping adds some complexity, but overall I don't understand why such a basic way to build abstractions is so controversial in (some) OOP languages. If anyone has some context on why this is more difficult to have in Java-like languages, I'd be curious to hear it.

I think HN would chew on it every day if it could! Luckily it doesn’t bubble up to the front page quite that often...

Edit to add: thanks for the link! I now see that the full Contracts proposal includes some sections towards the end that address my concerns, eg “Why not use interfaces instead of contracts?”
The thruhiking bubble also likely contributes to the similar rise in backcountry visits to Shenandoah in May and June.
You can reference something from 2012 and still make scathing partisan points. Just because the source wasn't aiming to match current politics doesn't mean the post isn't.

Additionally the title flat out says the wall was "the beginning". Then in your comment you say the wall building fascination was a symptom, meaning it clearly wasn't the beginning - something else was.

If this post wasn't meant to be political then some tact should have been considered to not draw obvious political parallels.
"Low margin" is relative. If the owner is taking home more money than the employees, there's room to shift things. I would bet quite a lot that most Burger Kings are in that position.
The title implies that, which I think is the aim. It’s a little clickbaity and probably intended to cause that exact reaction. The article itself doesn’t really make that implication as strongly.

What a bizarrely upbeat article. China’s CO2 output will supposedly peak at 10 tons per person for $21,000 GDP per capita. Using the article’s numbers, The US achieves triple the GDP per capita with just 60% higher CO2 emissions. Note also that China’s population will peak and then start declining in just a few years, which has a lot to do with why CO2 output will peak: https://www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/.... The only reason US CO2 output didn’t peak decades ago is that the US population continues to grow steadily.

What do you mean by "80% vegetarian"? You eat 20% meat? Isn't that close to the recommended proportion of meat in a diet, which would make you a normal person but not a vegetarian?
I don't agree with all the bashing of the S-400 here, but Russian performance has been "disappointing" in terms of demonstrating combat capability.

"The obvious question that remains unanswered is whether Russia chose not to engage S-400s, or was simply unable to, whether because of American nonkinetic capabilities impacting those system or some other reason. Given the pre-attack notice given by the Pentagon to Russian forces through a deconfliction line, as well as the fact that no strikes were targeted at the air defenses themselves, analysts lean toward the former."

https://www.defensenews.com/pentagon/2018/04/20/who-learned-...

In short, Russia has S400s in Syria. Russian government officials claimed Russia would shoot down the Tomawhawks. Russians knew the strikes were coming. Yet, they did not use the S400.

To me, there are no two ways about it - Russia did not have the capability to engage even the legacy Tomawhawk missiles.
The primary reason word of mouth doesn't always work is because of advertising. If you don't scream, nobody will hear you over everyone else's screams. But if people stopped screaming, then they could actually hear conversations.
Yeah but I'm pretty sure that most of those here who use cars to go to cities are those with low cost second hand cars. The nice ones are usually sitting parked in garages, used mainly for out of city or whole family trips - public transport is actually being used a lot here, however the current issue is that it doesn't connect out of city areas well, forcing people living out of city to use cars to commute.

Most new cars are sold to businesses.

I think this does not apply to the US.
The single biggest thing you need to do is make bus commutes faster than a car commute. This requires enforced bus lanes and possibly transit signal priority, which has been a hard thing to maintain politically. The buses can be nice and well-marketed, but if driving is significantly faster, then people who can afford it will still drive.
That’s why they get together and make a bunch of rules about what is “ethical” marketing.

In reality, the established players halve their marketing expense and make it difficult for any upstarts.
Advertising should still be regulated for the stability of society, but regulation is always behind, and is frequently distorted by the folks being regulated.

examples where better regulation is needed: robocalling, pervasive tracking and data sharing, dark advertising patterns, drug marketing, etc.

> As far as I know, no presidential candidate is proposing to stop people from buying private medical insurance

A couple of the variants of Medicare-for-All, including Sanders’, would prohibit normal private health insurance (they would allow private plans for certain non-core benefits, but those aren't what people talking about private medical insurance are mostly talking to about.) I mean, technically, they don't prohibit buying plans, only selling them, but...

As far as I know, no Presidential candidate is campaigning on a healthcare plan based even loosely on what the UK currently does.
Data Science Skills Landscape in 2019
In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, "I don't see the use of this; let us clear it away." To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: "If you don't see the use of it, I certainly won't let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it."

There must be a better way to solve the problem of helping people make better market decisions. For example a public service that notifies you about new high quality products or services, tailored for your location and interests.
I prefer to say: Advertising is the heart of Capitalism. Ads pump the blood (comsumption) to keep Capitalism alive.
My reading of the settlement is that of the $310 million, up to $31 million (10%) is allocated to hourly time claims (section 6.2.6) and a separate $31 million is allocated to "Alternative Reimbursement Compensation", i.e. the $125 cheques (section 7.5).

So it's still capped at the same amount, but comes from a different pool.

Agreed. The heat/humidity starting in June are nigh unbearable.
Improving is definitely -ier. -y denotes a state, -ier denotes movement towards that state, but not necessarily being in that state. Improving implies movement.

Some might view the -ier style statements as weasely or waffling, but it's also the most responsible way to describe most foods in my opinion, as there's often just a matter os scale that tips something from healthy to not (or outright dangerous, even). An orange is a healthy snack if you can make use of the vitamin C and don't already have an overabundance of sugar. If you don't need vitamin C or already consume a lot of sugar, there are probably better sources of vitamin C and an orange might not really be a healthy choice.
On the plus side, at the very least the same hospital and hospital rooms were used. I initially assumed they were comparing an expensive, spacious upper-class hospital full of art with a run-down brutalist Medicaid hospital, and conflating sampling bias with causality.
I prefer to simply say "marketing today is immoral": it is using scientifically proven methods to manipulate us into doing something we would otherwise not be inclined to do.

I don't mind informative advertising: "hey, we are making this thing which can help with this" is ok. But that's a rare breed of ads nowadays. One of the eye-openers for me was when I noticed in my early student (and shaving :)) days how all Nivea shaving products were branded as being for sensitive skin (does your skin turn red if you pull razor over it?): I've simply stopped buying their products. They've scaled back on that, but I didn't "forgive" them their attempt to manipulate me.

As a cancer survivor myself, I don't mind the analogy and term, it just seems to not be explicit enough about what the trouble is with ads today: you have to work backwards to establish parallels from "cancer" to "advertising".
