As discussed in another recent thread[1], malls contribute to myopia in young people. Actually, that study just says that not spending enough time outside in sunlight is the cause. But that's what happens when kids spend most of their free time in malls.

Ok, interesting counter argument. I guess it's “the package's fault”, but you are right that this arises from a potentially unnecessary layer.
Exactly. That is what I wanted to cover in the blog as well. I could give a better or a difficult example too but that would make it overly complicated which I didn't want it to be.

> willing to provide detailed explanations of their process to Etsy’s Marketplace Integrity team

Either that rule has been dropped, or is simply not (adequately) enforced, in my limited experience of Etsy. Unless "I order it, it comes in a boat from China, I list it for sale" counts as a perfectly good explanation of a process.

There are still many "proper" makers on Etsy (I know people personally who use the site to sell artwork, corsets & other dressware, etc) that are genuinely hand-made, but they are often undercut by those selling similar but mass-produced alternatives (that are usually lower quality, but people often don't seem to care about that until after they receive the product, and they then judge all on Etsy by that standard).

>Tesla alone has guided for sales of 400k vehicles this year.

Which they are unlikely to achieve this year. We can now finally see the year-over-year numbers (the ones that Tesla were telling us were 100s of % growth, due to new model launch a year ago), and those numbers might be down (ie no growth).

But as an industry, EVs will keep taking market share. They just make sense.
The higher end higher income targetted "boutique" malls are doing very well actually. They may be emotional reasons but that doesn't make their current success less real.

Major urban city ones seem to be doing better as well last I checked - although one component is shopping tourism over lower prices. (Not entirely sure how the border security theater's arbitrary invasiveness, and travel warnings over incidents like shootings, civil forfeiture, etc.).

Apparently the ones dependent upon "service" as opposed to commodities thrive - even if that service is to be fashionable instead of expertise or convenience.
I wonder how much of that attitude was caused by an overstretched team with no effective scaling mechanism in place. No, "open source" does not automatically mean "scalable team". Part of Kubernetes success is its ability to scale up the community, empowering multiple entities to meaningfully contribute.
That sounds (sounded) awesome! As I was typing up my previous comment I was wondering if there are any other services out there that does this same sort of thing. Fingers crossed.

Hard to say, but with the US set to withdraw from the UPU, it may become much harder for those cheap items with free shipping from China to compete in the same way.
I suspect you're right that the median is low-ish, but if you're able to convince any of the major banks or bank-IT firms in the US that you're reasonably able to solve their problems with COBOL, there's no shortage of jobs in the $150-200k range -- which is insanely high for engineering jobs on the east coast.

If you are trying to use docker to build lightweight VMs you are really swimming upstream. In the (docker, etc) container world they use the phrase "pets not cattle". Containers are designed to be stateless (nothing is stored in the container) and to be spun up and down as demand changes.

If you want to build a mini-VM using containers, LXC is a great choice. If you want to deploy software, easily, with CI/CD and [auto-]scaling, then containers are what you want.

The relationship between your age and your chance of success [YouTube]
Growing up in the 80s, it was a place to meet people. We didn't have the internet. Not everyone had home PCs or gaming systems. Meeting friends at the mall to play some games at the arcade, maybe get a snack at the food court, and just hang out was a decent way to spend time with friends.

Yes, we also went on walks, bike rides, went fishing, played in parks, hiked in the woods, climbed mountains, went to the beach, saw each other at school, played board games, D&D, and many other things.

The mall was one thing to do, among many. I see little reason to disparage those memories just because they aren't as applicable in today's society.

Config management isn't a magic bullet. At the core every config management platform is manual work in a for loop. Lot's of layers in the case of Salt/Puppet to make it a bit more ergonomic but you're ultimately still on the hook for all the server maintenance. No config management is all-encompassing and so without extreme diligence you will lose the state of your servers over time.

> I doubt VW will be able to compete with Tesla in the near term on EV's.

Volkswagen sells EVs cheaper than any Tesla and Volkswagen also sells EVs more expensive than any Tesla, which is the point. The selection of EVs from Volkswagen is already broader than what Tesla offers.

The Porsche Taycan's Nürburgring lap time of 7:42 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8m31EgQkswg) has apparently provoked Tesla into doing a lap in the Model S next week: https://electrek.co/2019/09/05/tesla-model-s-nurburgring-rac...

> They just don't have the battery cost advantage that Tesla has spent the last decade building.

The Volkswagen ID.3 will be cheaper than the equivalent range Tesla Model 3. The base model ID.3 (330km WLTP) will be around 30,000 euros, the midrange ID.3 (420km WLTP) will be around 40,000 euros, and I haven't seen pricing for the long range model (550km WLTP) but let's guess 50,000 euros. Volkswagen is officially launching the ID.3 in a few days. They might announce the final pricing then.

Well, presumably they have the data on sell-through rates for people that add items to their carts & get free shipping compared to those that do not get free shipping.

I sell on Etsy, and in my case my sales have gone up about 30% since the change, and it more than covers the shipping costs.
I guess maybe it depends on what you're selling, but we found we badly needed the discoverability of the Etsy marketplace. Which sucks, because as of late they've been doing a lot of things to annoy sellers.

We (mostly my wife) have three Etsy shops, all paying Etsy+ customers. Each shop does probably 30-50 orders a month, so we're not tiny potatoes. We received two low ratings (one three star and one one star) across 6 months in one of our shops. The one star was because Etsy didn't wait until the order was mark delivered by USPS to solicit feedback from the user, so they said "we haven't gotten it yet so I don't know." The other was an issue that the buyer didn't read the listing at all (they complained about the item being smaller than expected, but the measurements on the listing were actually a good bit smaller than what they got so it should have been too big...?). Either way, two somewhat off feedbacks in like 200 sales.

Etsy sends an email that basically says we've fallen below their standards for customer satisfaction and we need to get back on track. When we asked what they were talking about, they said they'd gotten a "significant number" of customer dissatisfaction reports. When pressed, it was those two reviews. When we pushed back that those were kind of unfair negative feedbacks, they just brushed it off and, basically, said we need to get our act together. What the heck?

The kicker? That shop went from 2-3 sales a day on average to zero. For like, weeks. It's finally back and selling things, but I think we were being removed from search results or at least ranked much lower as punishment or something. They've really pumped up this gatekeeping behavior lately, and it's really starting to chafe me. :/ I'm 99% sure because we're paying Etsy+ customers that we get preference in search rankings. I know they definitely prioritize shops that offer free shipping even if the price is higher because they've said so (which is a really annoying way to squeeze your sellers for more money while inciting them to raise prices and thus increasing your percentage take on the final value fees...). I wish they'd stop trying to influence people's discovery so much, but I'm guessing they have to have their data scientists working on something to make money?

But like I said, without the community (which is great) and discoverability of their marketplace, our sales are junk (we've tried). I know we could invest in marketing this or sales that or promoting locally, but frankly we're very small and don't make enough to invest in that sort of stuff to get an equal return. It just sucks that it at least feels like Etsy has become a lot more seller hostile in the past year. :(
In cold climates, why not turn dead malls into giant indoor parks?

That way people could go jogging in a T-shirt in February.

Especially the malls that have big skylights, you could plant trees and greenery inside.

Maybe install a few pools.
The problem is not with using statistical significance as a mean to accept or reject a hypothesis (ie. the scientific method). The problem is P-hacking (effectively, choosing your results then customizing analysis to obtain them).

It's not the statistical analysis that's the problem, it's the bad "science" and irresponsible journalism.
I live in Manchester, UK, and this hits the spot. Homeless people move here from less tolerant towns in Southern England, and we end up with a problem. The weather is more like Seattle than SF but pretty tolerable bar a couple of months - which is when all alarms go off and you get huge appeals to find places where to host them to avoid dozens of deaths.

I think of myself as a very progressive guy (son of communists and all) but this is not sustainable, it’s unfair to unload national problems on individual cities just because they are traditionally more compassionate, and it’s obviously unfair to the homeless who end up moving even further away from whatever small support network they have near home.

scientific papers communicate with numbers, errors, p-values next to numebrs, name of the statistical test used, and figures are usually annotated to indicate the level of significance. That's pretty careful.
Yeah, true. Thanks.
My one Etsy experience was great, I paid an order of magnitude less than "regular" businesses were asking for a small piece of brass acid-etched with my own .svg design. I turned to Etsy because I imagined that such an item could be manufactured at home with low overhead cost. Still, many Etsy sellers were asking more than I expected and it was only when I searched based on a common use for such an item (not my use) that I found a great price. My use: boat plaque. Common use: pet tag.

I wonder what other small-batch custom manufacturing can be found on Etsy at a good price and under what search terms.

More generally, is there a list of "where to get it made" based on manufacturing methods, materials, (small) quantity, size, etc.?

It was an interesting choice, and they didn't mess it up -- as I recall, some LeMat peculiarities play into the plot at one point, so the propmaster knew what they were doing.

Because I'm a nerd who grew up shooting, I've taken several runs at a "guns for writers" primer, because it's hard to get right if you don't know anything about firearms. The best rule is to avoid specifics here if you can, because naming a brand (e.g.) can back you into a corner if you don't know anything about the brand. (Case in point, I read a book a year or so ago that included a character cocking a SIG Sauer, which isn't possible.)

Point being, choosing a LeMat is a risky option for the writer because it's so unusual, so I was really happy to see they did so knowing what it was. We wouldn't really have LOST anything if they'd just given the MiB a bog-standard 1851 Colt or Single Action Army, but the LeMat adds a little depth/spice/eccentricity. It's a nice choice.
It is not enough to have common interests. The internet has shown people what it is like to interact with others in a place where no one can see the real you. While it is limiting and lonely in some respects, it is also immensely freeing in others. That leaves many people wary of socializing in real life because, as anyone knows from school, people regularly make fun of each other and judge each other for their appearance etc. even if they are friends. Why open yourself up to that? To me, that is a huge barrier to restoring the kind of community institutions that existed in decades past.

Also, when people talk about how men need to be able to meet IRL and have group social experiences (like the bowling leagues of old), they fail to account for how some men at those social events often show hypermasculine behaviors like making fart jokes, talking about banging hot women, complaining about “faggots”, etc. There are plenty of men who are uncomfortable with that. At least on the internet one can find common-interest forums that don’t have that kind of extraneous and uncomfortable humor or obsession with sex.
I'm currently using k8s in a staging/uat environment (running on a tiny 2 node cluster). So far, I've found it to be super useful in CI, as you can use container orchestration to emulate the larger production IaaS stack with much lower cost and time overhead than, say, a real terraform deployment. And if your team is already drinking the "cloud-native" kool-aid and wanting to use AWS lambda or a similar service, I'd argue it would be a much better investment to deploy those types of workloads as kubernetes jobs or with a framework like OpenFaaS[1] on kubernetes, giving the team much greater flexibility and avoiding vendor lock in.

> By extending a line, anchored on the moon, to deep within Earth's gravity well, we can construct a stable, traversable cable allowing free movement from the vicinity of Earth to the Moon's surface.

Usually an API key that is supposed to be used on the frontend would be locked down to a domain (checking the Origin or referrer header). Otherwise you are expected to either have your own service that communicates with the API or proxy it. IIRC there are some modules for nginx for JWT validation though that's not something you would need, you could check the headers as above.

I like cufflinks and wear them all winter. So I buy some, and I don't mean "one pair per decade". This comment is specific to cufflinks, or maybe it just uses cufflinks as an example?

There are a lot of artisans who make cufflinks based on parts they buy, but the item on sale is really the artisan's.

There are also a lot of cufflinks on sale that aren't really artisanal, just two parts glued together with no taste or imagination, and I have to wade through these while searching for the good ones. The share looks like 99%/1% sometimes.

But:

1. It's not reasonable to deny the artisans the use of that prefab building block, because many of the good ones are good for reasons that aren't related to the prefab block.

2. I can see that it's really difficult for Etsy to draw a line between the two types. Is it reasonable or unreasonable to sell 26×26 varieties of cufflinks with initials, for example?

I don't buy anything other than cufflinks, but it seems to me that the same problem may occur in other categories. Or not.

Perhaps the real problem is that the resold items with minimal artisanal work can be spammed. That these things can fill the listing, so that the artisanal work that is the core to Etsy's business model is in the fringes of its search results.
> I’ve been doing it for about a year and a half, just skipping breakfast each day and lunch one or two workdays a week.

You call that a fast? As someone who's lost and kept off about half their body weight, I feel qualified to tell you that skipping a meal here and there is not fasting. In fact, if you're eating every day you're not fasting. Fuck, I mean, I only eat about 1.5 meals a day as a requirement of merely maintaining my current weight (and even that doesn't always work).
