>Who can say that you can't use oil that way? Whoever's going to bomb you for using oil. (Or did you assume that you were always going to be the enforcer, and never the enforced-upon?)

I didn't make any such assumptions: just that someone can enforce no-use-of-oil upon others.

And it doesn't have to be hypocritical either. To answer your other protest:

>"We get to use oil for when we think we should, but we'll bomb you if you use it" sure smells like hypocrisy to me.

Only in the same sense (and I already gave a similar example), locking people up against their will is bad and punishable, but not when the police does it.

If the enforcer only uses oil to enforce no regular oil use, then they're totally non hypocritical.

Besides the whole question is contrived, in the way the Liar's paradox is. "Yeah, what I just said about always lying is meta and excluded from my lying: I only lie when I say non-meta statements" is enough for this case...
The majority of shoppers do not actively price shop. If they do at all, they do so passively in the form of selecting a retailer based on perceived prices (i.e. they may not compare pricing between Target and Walmart on specific items, but they may choose to go to Walmart due to the perception of Target being more expensive).

At this point, Amazon is riding on the momentum created from their previous habituation. They built up a (true) reputation for being incredibly cost competitive for the products they carried, and enabled minimally delayed gratification in the form of 2, 1, and same day shipping. Because of this, they became the retailer of first choice and people only went elsewhere if Amazon didn't have the product they wanted.

Then they widened their inventory to items that weren't as capable of being efficiently shipped in individual units with last mile residential delivery. They also shifted more and more to holding less inventory on their own books and having third party sellers fill that void. And then had to start collecting taxes nationwide so they could more easily build out their distribution network without tax-related geographic constraints. All of which led to more and more price inflation.

But Wikipedia says it best[1]:

"New behaviours can become automatic through the process of habit formation. Old habits are hard to break and new habits are hard to form because the behavioural patterns which humans repeat become imprinted in neural pathways,[7] but it is possible to form new habits through repetition."

As long as consumers default to Amazon, they'll never notice how uncompetitive some of their product pricing has become. And as long as Amazon's inventory keeps expanding and they get closer and closer to instant gratification from compressed delivery timelines, consumers will have little reason to look beyond Amazon and change their habits.

As others have mentioned, moving HTTP versions is easier because it is at a higher protocol layer. But it is also an apples-to-oranges comparison, because the benefits of HTTP 2 or 3 over 1.1 are marginal compared to IPv6. The amount of benefit I got from going to IPv6 is so large in comparison to what HTTP 2 or 3 offers over 1.1, it is not in any way a fair comparison (and I am a pretty basic IPv6 user). A better comparison would be with TLS. Here again, I think new TLS versions offer benefits far above the marginal ones of HTTP 2 or 3 compared to 1.1.

I don't know, I'm much more terrified by the collapse of bird/insect/fish/etc. populations, which happens in front of our eyes, largely _not_ because of climate change, but most likely because of industrial agriculture, pesticides, habitat destruction, etc. A fully and relatively easily fixable problem, that is not even on the radar in public debate, policy discussions, and public imagination.

Climate change is a bit too abstract for me.

My world view changed dramatically over the past, say, five years, with all the news that has been coming at us, friends that talk about it, and a tiny bit of research (actually that's just opening Wikipedia whenever someone on reddit says something that sounds off). Climate change wasn't a big topic for me before that, partially because my parents hardly talked about it, school barely mentioned it, and I didn't have to make many choices of my own. Now I do and now it's also a bunch in the news, and now I also bring it up with friends and talk about it to colleagues. It just takes time to spread through society.

I don't agree that there is a certain group of "ignorant people" that can never be taught versus <insert name for the opposing group>, especially when you put it in a way that makes it sound like the group of ignorant people on this planet that can never be taught is very large.

> I wonder if you taught them philosophy

What does that have to do with anything? I don't know exactly what philosophy is, but I'm pretty sure I don't need it to understand that the climate is going to shit from our carbon-based waste gases.
Huh?

That's not doable yet - and it is just the problem of launching the mass, nothing else.

The distinction is roughly, between a goal, and a plan.

A plan is something that you can immediately begin executing upon. That doesn't mean you won't falter, or that it has to be an on/off switch style revolution, but there's a clear set of things to do.

A goal is embryonic. You don't know how, or if, you can achieve it yet.

The Dark Enlightenment, sometimes abbreviated NRx, is an anti-democratic, anti-egalitarian, reactionary philosophy founded by English philosopher Nick Land and Curtis Yarvin, an American software engineer and blogger. The ideology generally rejects whig historiography[1] — the concept that history shows an inevitable progression towards greater liberty and enlightenment, culminating in liberal democracy and constitutional monarchy — in favor of a return to traditional societal constructs and forms of government, including monarchism and other archaic forms of leadership such as a cameralism.

As I already said from the start, people who buy the Bose don't really car for the lower SQ, their main benefit is the best-of-class NC. What I wrote is that many outlets reviewed them and agree of the best-of-class NC.

That quote in no way says that racism is a “root cause” of climate change.

It should be obvious that the impacts of climate change impact different races differently, but also, there are actually pretty good arguments to be made that racism makes climate change worse (e.g. segregation of poor minorities leads them to do desperate things to survive...like burn down rainforest). The quote isn’t irrational.
Interesting, in my experience (in NYC) Seamless and the like absolutely do not employee the delivery drivers. They are employed by the restaurants. Though apparently in some areas they do employ drivers:

In NYC at least my comment is still true. When Seamless does not employ the driver, you do not know where your tip is going.
I wasn't aware, thank you for presenting a different view I wasn't exposed to.
Maybe it shouldn't be, but it is. People are putting microphones in their homes that Amazon controls and that serve no purpose but to let them spend money with Amazon more conveniently. The old definition of property doesn't really capture that does it?
That's too bad. I invite criticism of my projects, because I want to make sure I'm not fooling myself. Other people's perspective can shine new light on a problem and force you to reconsider the idea, hopefully leading to improved design.

> a thinner body is easier to hold. And it’s just plain beautiful. It feels futuristic

IMO, a thinner body feels fragile. It feels like they've chosen aesthetics over durability to a detrimental extreme.

Thinner also means less room for cooling and a smaller battery. If I see a super-thin laptop, I'm going to assume it has low performance to compensate for inadequate cooling.

> But it’s also how you make a product that people want.

Is anybody asking for a thinner laptop? Or is Apple just creating a benchmark and advertising it?

This whole thing just re-affirms my belief that Apple isn't a tech company, they're a fashion company. They have absurdly inflated pricing and over-emphasis on aesthetics over performance.

How to Curb Writer’s Perfectionism
> The strongest candidates take their job search seriously and are willing to devote a fair amount of time to landing the right job.

... only for the 1-2 top companies they are interviewing for.

I have discontinued multiple interviews because they demanded 4-5 evenings of work for free on short notice, if I am going to spend 10-20 hours per company I have to take two weeks off from my current work to do it. On the other hand I have done the required work if I really want to join a company, but they are only top 5%.

Another problem is, usually what is expected and how the project will be judged is not mentioned beforehand;

- so do I write unit tests?

- do you want docs for running it?

- should it include deployment instructions/code?

- does have to support 5000 req/s?

- how important is clean code for this?

each add more time and these kind of question are never ending.

So unless you are Stripe, Airbnb, Netflix, etc. (Very strong Engineering and better than average culture), I will not bother, will say thank you and be on my way.

Finally, let's say you have done the project and they reject you, they never put a fraction of the time you spent to give you feedback. because that means a lot of time they will spend on someone that will not be hired. Also might open the way for litigation for discrimination in some countries etc.

On the other hand; Once I was managing hiring process of a new grad where we asked her to design a FE+BE system, after receiving it I spent a couple of hours reviewing it, we decided to hire her, she was very enthusiastic and smart, I also sent her our notes and how she can improve the project. Her response was along the lines of "even if you don't hire me I am very grateful for doing the project, did learn a lot" She joined and quickly became a very productive colleague.

Edit: I noticed that the author mentions they keep in touch during the project and provide a code review, had not seen that yet while writing the comment.
In that case it makes sense, but the candidate should know they will receive feedback even if they fail which I believe is hard for the team to accomplish but kudos if they did manage to do it.

" If we don’t, racism will continue to exacerbate climate change"
I've heard the exact opposite from a lot of people I respect. That announcing plans and communicating with your peers and getting support and accountability for your plans actually increases the likelihood of success.

But I mean, that doesn't let you shit on the "posers" so whatever.
> It just exposes their motivations: scientists are charlatans who don't understand anything when the climate scientists support AGW, but the data from the same scientists is heralded as the real truth when the deniers/skeptics think it supports their own beliefs.

I don’t think that is quite correct. Most ‘climate deniers’ I have spoken with don’t question the competence of scientists, they question their motives and suspect they are simply seeking funding, attention, or both.

This is not for intentionally spamming users e.g: Cold emailing users who did not subscribe to your app. This is to avoid unintentionally flooding your users with email who have subscribed to your app. e.g: I ran my cron job 2 times because of a bug and it sent 2 emails for each user.

Another example is retargeting email which are sent for every user visit. If a user visits multiple times on a day, you don't want to send more than 1 email on a single day. This API helps with that.
The alternative to a take-home test is on-site interviews with white board problems. These also take (unpaid) time and are timed (you have until the end of the interview). Doing this part of the interview at-home rather than in-person gives people more schedule flexibility, not less.

The total time spent is higher than most interview processes I think, which can be a struggle for some folks. But I do think it's the right tradeoff.

Regarding why time taken is an important data point -- we found a strong correlation between people who were able to get good solutions working quickly and people who were able to effectively defend their solutions during the "GoldMine review" in their on-site interview.
"In 2015, the last year for which the Environmental Protection Agency has data, the United States generated 11.9 million tons — or about 75 pounds per person — of textile waste, most of which ended up in landfills."

They are counting all textile waste in the country. Not just fashion related, not just clothing, and not restricted to consumer goods.

NYT is using their typical corporatist-absolving-tone which blames consumers for the environmental evils of industry. Textile waste is not something that consumers can make truly significant impact in because the majority of what NYT is blaming on them is outside of their control. The entire premise of this article that reducing textile waste should fall to the responsibility of consumers is unfounded.

Consumer guilt can do a little bit, but they are a relatively small proportion of the problem. Reminds me of 1990s recycling propaganda. Suggesting that poor people buying cheap clothing is the cause is disingenuous at best.
