With how tongue-in-cheek the whole document is, this is clearly a joke to emphasize their point (which, I agree, has no place in a legal document, no matter how plain). My point is that everything else in the document is pretty much industry standard, except that others are less...direct about it.

I do hear chargers with a large number of ports called "power banks" - I think the implication is that it's like a line of ATMs serving many customers.
It's a similar problem to why we have antitrust laws.

If this was you or I, there wouldn't be a problem. If you are the only / pretty much the only store used then it (to me) would clearly be a problem for consumers. You'd be using your monopoly in one area (marketplace) to benefit you elsewhere (selling USB cables) rather than competing on a level playing field.

In between it becomes trickier. At what point are they too big? How dominant would they need to be?

I think there are differences to physical stores partly due to scale. If a shelf has 10 different variations of basically the same thing that's the equivalent of all products being on the front of the search results. If there are hundreds, then the ranking becomes vital.
This is exactly the stakc I worked with when contracting for another startup/company. The degree of similarity is disturbing.

It mostly worked really well though, kudos to whoever figured it out. And you could mock a dev setup right in PyCharm.
Why don't you look at the profit margins? But please, don't just look at the good years.

For GM, it's probably about 4-5% average in the last years:

> I think it's a valid assumption if the market were comprised of a lot of highly competitive firms rather than 3 not-very-competitive-at-all firms.

Consumer goods are generally highly competitive. There are no monopolies or exorbitant profit margins. The number of companies is irrelevant. Even if it was just a single company, as long as the profit margins are low, consumers are not at risk of being overcharged.

Outliers are companies like Apple, which have a monopoly on their IP, but that's a different story.
Generally it's more about allocation and diversification. You can only put so much money in "standard investments".

When you already have a few hundred million in stocks, bonds, etc, the marginal benefit to putting another few million into the bond market is completely irrelevant--it's a rounding error in the overall portfolio. But putting those few million into a venture capital fund has the potential to generate a noticeable return.

It can also insulate you against structural shifts in markets. If WeWork were to fundamentally change the global real estate market, or some new battery startup fundamentally changes the energy landscape, investors in the incumbents can be left with significantly devalued portfolios.

Having a piece of anything/everything that might become the "next be thing" is a hedge against that.
AntennaTV has been running All in the Family and Archie Bunkers Place.
Certainly not excellent - Obviously there is a lot that goes into it - but 20% would be closer to the average expected return on a VC fund like A16z based on the style of investing, not achieving that - or higher - would be a disappointing run.

If you’re in the US. There’s significantly less support for niche, specialist streaming sites as well as non-US, country-specific listings. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve clicked a Google result for a movie on Netflix only to have it be for a different country or currently unavailable...
I'm having a similar experience with Rust. Libraries that expose complex types can be hard to use because mistakes lead to confusing compiler error messages with over 100 lines of mostly irrelevant details. I can use libraries that expose complex types, but I have to be prepared for a steep learning curve for each such library. On the other hand, there are many libraries that expose only simple types and I can use them easily.

BTW, I love how the Rust compiler uses all CPU threads. It's fast on my 8 year old Ubuntu desktop with 6 cores / 12 hyperthreads.
What is your concern exactly? Bitwarden by default doesn't autofill forms, you have to open the Bitwarden menu and click on the title of the website you're on.

There is an option to autofill, but it's buried in advanced settings and Bitwarden will display a warning if you try to enable it. (This message ought to be worded more explicitly—it currently says "this feature is in beta" rather than "this feature will decrease you're security"—but, still, not a default.)
I don't think this is poor journalism (I think The Information do a good job reporting industry specific information in a non click baity way). I see this as reporting on a player in an industry that a substantial number of their subscribers are either exposed to, or interested in.

But I agree with the rest of your statements. Better to have a VC investment that brings a 12% return or whatever than some negative returning European or Japanese government bonds.

I'm sure this isn't what you meant, but I thought about putting cell phones in the hands of the characters, and all I see is them sitting in a booth at a restaurant playing on their phones. So much of the was "about nothing" but it consisted of conversations. Take away the conversation, and the show doesn't exist.

You moved the goal post. Books can't cover everything but deal with the general. SO/blogs are typically concerned with corner cases or specific assignements/problems.
You completely misunderstand, this is strictly different from a ban. This is like DDoSing someone after you banned them.

The TTL tells DNS resolvers to cache the "localhost" result for 1 year, it's specifically an attempt to prevent you from regaining control over the domain at another provider.

You misunderstand, it’s not for playing back audio as such, it’s for detecting when the headphones connect as well as (maybe?) enabling easy set up of speakers with Spotify Connect.

Similarly Dropcam had a setup mode via Bluetooth, Google Home as well.
doing a fund by fund analysis is not unfair as funds are marketed to LPs separately. It does me no good that fund ABC had 30% IRR if fund XYZ that I am invested in from tbe same brand of manager is earning 1.5% IRR.

"IRR can be deceiving as it is time based". No, it's the other way. A return without mentioning how long it took to earn it is deceiving.

Ah the Generics, the fact that empty interfaces have been accepted as the way to get things done is absolutely terrifying to me. I understand that C++'s approach to generic type usage has slowly evolved into the most absurd collection of left angle brackets out there but Go seriously needs to shape up about generics, when people are regularly hacking your logic rules and advising others to do the same thing then... maybe there was an error in your rules.

Go is interesting and I really wonder how it'd be doing if someone went all in on the multi-return syntax sugar (pretty awesome stuff), the prohibition (mostly) on exceptions, channels and trivial threading and a bunch of other nicely packaged features while giving some ground on Generics. All languages have their warts, but I think this one is particularly easy to address - though it may take a major version bump and introduce some BC breaks I feel like those could be minimized, the biggest cost would be library incompatibility.
There it is, thread complete
I've noticed this on many occasions in the last month. I bought a mouse that Amazon had listed for $39. I walked a block and bought it from Office De/Max for $10 cheaper.

I wanted to get a sweater shaver. Amazon had it for 22. I bought a NIB one from Ebay for $12.

As far as I am concerned, the only thing Amazon has going for it right now is that it is a a one stop shop. That's worth something… how much? I'm not sure, but I know I'm buying a hell of a lot less stuff from Amazon now than 2 years ago.

People buy Samsung phones because they're good phones, people buy Anker batteries because they're good batteries. If they start exploding people will find some other, better battery brand.

Admittedly a phone that explodes is a bad phone, but Samsung can still sell its "good phone" brand the same way Apple can still sell its laptops.

Are companies all optimizing for cost? Isn't there a temptation to optimize for executive compensation? What it manufacturing was sent to the place in the world with the lowest overall expense. The extra money made could be put into bonuses and raises for execs.

This is an honest temptation. It's not just about the company health. It prioritizes some employees over other employees.

It's more than optimizing expenses.

A good example of that is the difference of allocation handling in both languages: Go is simpler than Rust because in Go everything is automatic, while in Rust there is an explicit Box if you want to allocate on the heap. But avoiding heap allocation is easier in Rust than in Go because of the explicitness vs automatic management.

Just to play grumpy old guy for a sec., I can't say that I've ever seen this in action. In my experience.

. Line managers rarely make the leap, if anything they jump laterally or go into 'new opportunities'.

. Actually escaping the gig and advancing, and I'd say that being a manager manager is a far more desirable line of work, seems to be more tied to selling yourself and to being associated with high visibility/profitable/successful projects which often has little to do with your own personal skills.

The article sounds quite plausible though.
As someone still in school, this type of article -- though inspiring-- kind of scares me, to be honest. I don't think I could do any one of the things mentioned in this article.
Exactly this. I've heard people say that Dickens wrote amazing historical fiction - well, no, he wrote popular fiction.
I think that's true. Also given the dominance of C in the unix eco system, it's a more important problem to solve.
I hate supporting Disney with annual trips to Disney World because of shit like this, but it means a lot to my family :(
I like Firecracker too, more than I like Docker (which is, obviously, Go). I don't have any problem with Rust. The parent comment, about Go being suited for small/medium scale programming, was wrong.

> Anyway, not mentioning AUTOSAR might be a sign that its days are numbered, perhaps?

I'd like but it doesn't seem so. We're having pending requests for working on AUTOSAR-based software, and a few are for brand new car models. Different opinion regarding EV: here I'm not aware of any single AUTOSAR based element but I may be wrong.
Thank you. I was struggling to understand what the article was trying to tell me or why it was so lengthy. It feels like news has evolved to buzzword/sensationalist headline + enough content/data (even if irrelevant) to provide a sense of comprehensiveness/substance.
I'm wenbin, the author of this blog post & I built Listen Notes.
Thanks for bringing up this question :)

Yes, Listen Notes is making some money - not a lot, but enough to cover all the cost and bring in a bit profit as of today.

The basic idea is that Listen Notes should be free to 99% of users, while making some money from 1% of super users.

We run ads (obviously) on the website and we provide API: https://www.listennotes.com/api/pricing/ And I've been experimenting some paid features that are needed for PR/marketing/journalists to do their job, e.g., https://www.listennotes.com/datasets/

And today is special, because on Sep 16, 2017 (Exactly 2 years ago today), I started to work on Listen Notes full-time!
If the _app_ gives you the choice

> between “yes, always” and “yes, always”

because they deliberately left out a viable option of “yes, only when in use in the foreground” then I’d say the app developers are hostile and you should consider uninstalling the app.

But this isn’t really on Apple. It’s the developers, managers, stakeholders who deserve your ire.
Presumably it was humans who signed off on the premise of Amazon's Choice in the first place. If Amazon is so careless with their brand in that case, as a consumer I'd feel like a sucker if I trusted there brand to mean much when their employees are evaluating products rather than algorithms.

Maybe the algorithm seemed like a good idea at the time but later turned sour. If that's the case, why hasn't Amazon yanked the program? If they don't terminate this program when it performs poorly, I don't trust them to keep other programs in line either.

not many companies, but the hiring pool is also much smaller.

If you want to be a general hire, then you will suffer competing with generalists (this is not a bad thing just a different strategy). You can choose to become an expert on a general skill (or trendy framework). This is useful and highly marketable, but your competition pool is also larger and the technology is still likely to dissolve over time.

Also, for DBA , I think i'm internally thinking Data Engineering instead. I perhaps misspoke by title.
Hmm, isn't the solution to do something proactively to increase entropy when getrandom() is waiting for it? (especially for the first bytes)

Just tried it with Mission Impossible: Fallout, which I just watched the other day on Amazon Prime's streaming thingy. Google search results give me a list of purchase options across the top in a little box, including Amazon, so that's good. Doesn't say I can stream it but I guess it doesn't know I'm logged in & have prime, which it shouldn't, so that's fine too I guess, but it doesn't tell me I could stream it with subscriptions to any of those places, just tells me purchase prices. Oh well, I happen to know it's streaming on Amazon in this case, which is cheating, but whatever.

I click it. It takes me to Amazon, where I am already logged in. I can watch the trailer or "buy" (digital purchase, so "long term rental") it for $20(!). There's no indication I can stream it with Prime. Even knowing it's available I can't figure out how to do it from this screen—I'd have to just search again on Amazon and hope for the best.
As a daily pandas user for a couple years, I agree that the API is rough in places, though the official docs are extremely helpful. Also, the Stack Overflow community has come up with some helpful "missing manual" writeups, such as "Pandas Merging 101" https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53645882/pandas-merging-...

API pain points off the top of my head:

- There are both `pivot` and `pivot_table` methods which behave slightly differently. I'd have to look up why `pivot` exists; I've learned simply to reach for `pivot_table` every time, since it aggregates more flexibly.

- The dreaded SettingWithCopyWarning is a huge pain for new pandas users, and simply should not exist in any mature data analysis software.

- Unlike in SQL, in pandas you can take a data table (a DataFrame) and group it by one or more columns without immediately specifying an aggregation function. The result of this `groupby` operation is a "groupby object", which contains all the information of the input DataFrame, but behaves completely differently from a DataFrame. By contrast, in R's tidyverse, my understanding is that when you group a tibble (the tidyverse's data table), the result is still a tibble, just grouped.

- It took a while to mentally sort out the similarities and differences of merge, join, append, and concatenate. In practice, I almost always reach for `merge` or `concat`.

Though my point was more in the vein, Seinfeld is hardly relevant for most people below 30, and there's so much good TV the last decade, it's hardly important for people over 30 as well...
But there are plenty of younger people who hate Friends because it hasn't dated that well.

I also don't understand your argument on simplicity. You make mention in multiple points about "await". You don't like it. We get it. In what way is it not simple? And how does it follow that Go is more simple (using the same definition).

I'm scratching my head here. I'm a huge IASIP fan and can't see how IASIP took Seinfeld as a jumping off point. IASIP is characterized by it's very dark humor, no laugh track and subtle plot developments when it seems like each episode is stand-alone. Seinfeld had a very obvious laugh track and it's humor was significantly less dark. (I mean, Seinfeld is cynical... But let's be honest, there has never been a long running rape joke, jokes about homophobia, misogyny, pedophilia, alcoholism, drug abuse, stalking, incest etc) So it's really hard to see a connection. Could you maybe elaborate?

Looks cool on paper. Anybody around has experience with it ?
Speaking at least for my area (Detroit television market), a lot of local channels use their digital allotment to run a "Whatever I Can Syndicate For The Cheapest" channel at SD quality. It looks a lot like the UHF syndicated content when I was a kid. I wouldn't be surprised All in the Family shows up there, a lot of contemporaneous stuff does.

Not that you're wrong about Seinfeld being, oh, let me guess, somewhere between two to six orders of magnitude more popular, depending on how many dozens of people are watching the "Cheap Syndication" subchannel at any given time.
