Pick some of the projects you are using. For most projects you have to understand the philosophy and what is the central idea, and it is very difficult if you are not using it.

Start with a small part. You are never sure if the maintainers are going to merge it, or if the maintainers are crazy or morons. So pick a small task that is useful but you don't be too sad if it not merged. I recommend to not invest more than two days initially, but perhaps two days is too much.

Also each project has unofficial rules about rebasing, code style, commit message style, test coverage, documentation. Try to follow the style of the project, but be prepared to make a few fixes.

The best time to start contributing to open source was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.

PS: (Just in case) Don't expect to make money for this. It is posible if you reach the Linus status, or you get hired to contribute to a project, but in most cases don't expect to get money.

PS2: Typos in docs, comments, and error message are a good starting point. It's easy, and after looking at the code you will understand it more and perhaps notice something you can improve.

PS2: Since you know CICD ... do you know how to run gcc with -ubsan in travis-ci? I tried to configure it, but I failed and gave up. Warning: it may be harder than you think.

PS4: Configuring the CI of some projects may he helpful. Perhaps try some project you are interested and they have a clear set of test but don't have the CI enabled.
At least with Walmart you know their value engineered products are actually made by who they say they are and actually work enough of the time to pass whatever QC standards were set. With Amazon you have no idea whether you're getting a counterfeit.

Strictly speaking, any death that would likely be reported by mainstream news should be off topic, per the guidelines. Such stories are often a step above celebrity gossip, yet rarely touching the bar of having intellectual merit.

This gets a pass in the community all the time because people are emotionally attached to some celebrities or their work, especially if there is any overlap with the hacker or tech scene, or if nostalgia is involved. Which is understandable, but still leads to exactly the sort of low-effort discussion we're supposed to avoid.

With Hawking, the announcement of his death should still be off-topic even though one could use the thread as a springboard to discuss physics. Death itself, however, brings no new or interesting phenomenon worth discussing.

Rather than posting articles about his (or anyone's) death, it would be better to post articles related to someone's work, and mention the death in the comments.
definitely so for <$10 items, sometimes higher. Anything I've bought on eBay for <$10 is nearly always $10 or higher on Amazon
That's a good idea too. Field Notes do attract the eye.

No, I don't mean that they should change the product necessarily. I think there's value in what they currently have, and said that if I composed music myself, I would probably buy a couple.

But there's nothing wrong with seeing what other people have done and being inspired by them. I am constantly taking in ideas from all over and pairing them against all of my different game designs and story ideas and wondering if those ideas could be used in some way. Maybe seeing that link sparked a "Oh, maybe I could put in a... whatever... scale reference, or common key signatures list, or a box for a version number of the song, or whatever" and adds one extra page to the journal, and advertises it, and sees a 10% increase in sales or something.

I don't really have any desires one way or another in what the product should be. I'm just aware of that other journal, and thought maybe they might find it interesting, and probably aren't aware of it since it's for a different niche field.
I'd have more sympathy for your viewpoint if caviar actually tasted as good as olive tapenade ...
This among many reasons is is why I cancelled my prime membership. The quality control is abysmal. It's become an eBay, but without a proper dispute system, and crazy prices. Many goods get listed at multiples of the price available elsewhere and if you're not paying attention you can get screwed. It's totally buyer beware. The trust that Amazon established over the years has been lost.

I ordered something on Amazon Canada, it was listed as sold by Amazon.com.ca. It qualified for prime. I ordered expecting it to arrive in 2 days. It took over a week and it became clear after the fact that it had been sourced from a US supplier and because it happened over the 4th of July it sat in a warehouse for a few days over the holiday.

Amazon hid that it was a third party supplier.
Amazon hid that it was coming from across the border.
Amazon refused to cancel and refund the order once this became clear.

They've really gone down hill.

We are not really supposed to talk ill of the holy Signal here on HN, and we usually get severely trounced if we do. But of course you are absolutely right - this has been one gaping hole in Signal privacy since forever.

Another thing Signal likes to do is to broadcast the fact every time you shift it to a new device. I have seen enough changing round from a couple of correspondents to deduce a pattern in their hardware habits.

A third stunt it likes is to make it non-obvious what actually happens when you set up groups. One friend did, believing it to be just a personal way of organising contacts, thereby of course immediately exposing parts of his contact list to the rest of us and vice versa.

Also terrible user experience (like using heavily license restricted software). I no longer use the thing.

> When was Amazon ever a 'stamp of quality'?

Up until the moment they started intermixing stock from third-party sellers in with the stuff "Ships from and sold by Amazon." It is this change all by itself that pushes me away from using Amazon. If I could just opt-out of the third party sellers I would, but I can buy a product ostensibly from Amazon and still end up with a fake.
Digikey has reasonable pricing and shipping costs. Might consider them for future purchases.
First manned dive to the Titanic in 14 years found a wreck in 'shocking' decay
For an active cable (lighning, etc.) look for new and look at the seller's feedback. Look at the other stuff they are selling. Is it junk, is it all off-brand? How long have they been selling?

It's not fool-proof and I still find myself buying only cable brands I trust (I don't mind overpaying for peace of mind when it comes to that). But the likelyhood of fakes (imitations of legitimate brands) is much lower, in my opinion.
Already this year the number of purchases I've made is cut in half from last year. I've gotten burned with too many poor 3rd party sellers. They are so greedy for the short term revenues they don't realize that us "idiots" are starting to lost trust in their system, and if that happens at a large scale, their business will collapse.
For profit companies (including public companies) can be established to pursue any lawful purpose. They are absolutely not required to make as much money as possible.

"While it is certainly true that a central objective of for-profit corporations is to make money, modern corporate law does not require for-profit corporations to pursue profit at the expense of everything else, and many do not do so. For-profit corporations, with ownership approval, support a wide variety of charitable causes, and it is not at all uncommon for such corporations to further humanitarian and other altruistic objectives. Many examples come readily to mind. So long as its owners agree, a for-profit corporation may take costly pollution-control and energy-conservation measures that go beyond what the law requires."

All of these cars use precious metals and resources which come from (probably) China who pollutes like hell to get them so who knows what the long-term ramifications are.
It could even try to optimize the cost by buying/renting movies on others platforms like Google Play. I can get GoT season 8 for 23.99$ CAD on Google Play while it would cost me (and it did) 2 months of 19.98$ CAD service over Crave + HBO.
For me, Amazon's main purpose is to get them to price match Best Buy. Why wait 3 days when I can just go to Best Buy, show them the same item for $30 cheaper on Amazon and get it immediately?
I agree that generalized trees require too many clicks.

What I really like are the limited depth, non-collapsing trees in a lot of UIs now. Like in Slack, where the left nav has few top level nodes—pinned channels/chats, channels, and chats—that make it easy to get exactly what is needed. It’s not perfect (like I would prefer an aggregated pin that simply shows everything from all pins in one conversation dialog), but it is visually clean and efficient. And instead of a giant tree to enumerate all channels, you use a dedicated search interface that makes it easy to add entries to tree with a single click (without having to interact with the tree).
The problem with netflix is that it isnt really a library of content. Its ok as a direct cable tv substitute if you just want something to watch, but when i want to watch a specific movie, even popular classics, netflix usually doesnt have it available. Despite this people seem to think its a viable replacement for having copies of files.

I think people tend to be over-optimistic and thus overvalue stock options relative to cash compensation.
They’re increasingly like that regardless of whatever I’m looking to purchase. I waste enough time looking for an actual, legitimate item that going out to the stores may be quicker and is definitely more assured. Maybe they want this to happen and focus on the rest of their business?

With their price matching of Amazon, I think Best Buy just realized that they were about to be the next B&M retailer to be put out of business by them. If they thought they still had a captive audience I bet they'd still be offering only Monster crap.

When you have a write-heavy workload with multiple servers that need to write concurrently to a shared database (backend to a website), you would probably want to choose something that has a client-server model instead like PostgreSQL

It's easy to get really stellar concurrent performance out of SQLite using a many reader, single writer model (ie many threads, single process). In testing we did it easily surpassed Postgres.
its infuriating that amazon likes to play innocent and claim they are not the seller of these products but at the same time do their best to project a unified front and to hide that certain products come from different sellers. At best you get a little link that might go to everything else that seller has listed but without knowledge from articles like this one of how amazon handles things I would never know the different between seemingly identical products.
Google is cracking down on its employees’ political speech at work
Well... I will try to put it in a different light. A cross functional product team must have all the knowledge to complete the tasks they are given. There is no way agile is going to work for you if there are 5000 people with a saying on your day to day tasks.

If there are a few stakeholders outside the team it's really the PO's job to represent them. If you need to know if the task is complete you ask the PO and she should made the call. It’s simple really
Well, sure. There are lots of places in the US (and elsewhere) where you don't really need AC. It helps to have good ventilation, maybe some fans, and possibly other passive cooling. Maybe just deal with a week or two of uncomfortably hot weather during the summer.

Of course, it also helps to live in a house that is out in the country or at least suburbs rather than a city apartment. A window AC unit or two also can help for things like cooling a bedroom for the hottest nights.
That and they've gone the wall-mart route of actually PUSHING anything / the lowest price possible.

I get stuff that's like 5% cheaper but quality looks to be about 50% the quality pushed on me all the time on Amazon now.

I went to Amazon originally to find QUALITY products that my local stores didn't carry because of price pressures. Now Amazon seems to be switching to just being ... wall-mart and that's already near me...

It has gotten so bad that I've searched for good products on Amazon that I know were there, and they're gone. Like if you don't want a crappy HDMI switch that looks like every other cheap HDMI switch, your options seem to be fewer and fewer.

And that doesn't account for the questionable health products that they push on me for no apparent reason (i've never surfed for or bought such products form them...or anyone).

Increasingly Amazon wants to tell me what to buy, and what they tell me is they want me to buy garbage.
I am largely opposed to regressive measures like this, but in this case I tend to believe the continued survival of our species and our planet supercede concerns about temporary inequalities imposed by our solutions.
This is strategically released just before the G7, to make sure that this will be discussed, or maybe to put some pressure on the US before negotiating with its allies.

It’s not just the size of the donation, the PAC system permits tremendous amounts of dark money whose donors aren’t disclosed.

Donating directly to politicians is fairly straightforward and transparent due to campaign finance law, but PACs operating “independently” and in the background undermine the system in a huge way
A few thoughts:

* Amazon is a total mess right now, and this is great investigative reporting. I think Amazon is going to go through a rough year or two in PR terms. They need to get this under control quickly.

* Amazon can pretend that it's just a platform, but in practice they benefit from consumers assuming that everything on the site has some stamp of approval (even if it's not as full a stamp as, say, buying the item from Costco.) Right now, they're abusing that consumer trust by doing a lousy job of monitoring product listings on their site. Over the long term, they risk losing that trust altogether. That's a huge risk to them, and it's a little short-sighted to take no ownership of product listings on their site as the basis for legal defense.

* This reminds me of the recent reporting about AirBnb dealing with scammy listings in Canada [0]. I think that both AirBnb and Amazon are capable of getting these problems under control, but they haven't proven it as of yet. When the solution comes, it will be expensive and involve a lot of human labor. That is true no matter how many times they wave their magics wands and yell "Machine Learning!"

* Some of the violations pointed out here are pretty dumb. How much does not labeling balloons as choking hazards actually threaten safety? Of course, that reflects a tolerance of rule-breaking and law-breaking that reflects poorly on Amazon.

> we're losing the thing that made Netflix revolutionary: loads of quality and diverse content under one subscription.

You are forgetting at a amazingly low price. People are cancelling Netflix because it's "too expensive now" while it's still quite a bit cheaper than cable.

People have an hard time considering paying 2 streaming service, while it is still cheaper than cable service.
That should really be something to take them to court over, bit it’s not worth it for the dollar price.
Thick stone walls (well brick). I live in Hungary EU, lot of old houses (early XXth/late XIXth century or earlier) has really thick stone walls.

Even if the temp outside is +35c the inside is between 23-25c (or even less)

This is the amazing low-tech solution: It basically means companies will stop ignoring what they knew is happening for ages. As long as LE takes on the uncovered sources, I feel like this is the most important principle.
These type of behavior has always been prevalent with any for-profit corporation. Generally, companies would try to find loopholes and way around regulations just to ensure that their cash cow is able to fulfill their own bottom line.

Come to think of it - it is always a big news when companies' wrongdoings are exposed. But for companies who've turned around and is trying to make their operations better and abide by regulations and focused on ensuring safety and well-being of everyone directly and indirectly, they never make the news.

Trump's whole schtick is to come in with an incredibly aggressive posture (cancel NAFTA!), extract some concessions, then take a victory lap. When the concessions don't come he gives up quickly (see the government shutdown). He has no real plan or capacity for a protracted and painful trade war. He hasn't made the case to his people or his allies for what the goal even is, and whatever support he has will evaporate when the pain becomes serious, assuming he doesn't just fold first.
