Gene–diet interaction and weight loss
I've worked on a few Postgres drivers and the protocol is basically sending data row-by-row, column-by-column. Sure, it could be more clever, but that's time and cpu and memory spent being clever instead of moving data.

But you're right, there are always trade-offs, and there are some situations where the current AR approach is not ideal, and a single join would be more efficient. However, I suspect this is the way AR does it because it's right enough often enough that it works well as the default approach.
Yeah... I'm not entirely convinced about this future.

* PCBs are cheaper to manufacturer than silicon wafers.

* PCBs can be arbitrarily created and adjusted with little overhead cost (time and money).

* PCBs can be re-worked if a small hardware fault(s) is found.

* PCBs can carry large amount of power.

* PCBs can help absorb heat away from some components.

* PCBs have a small amount of flexibility, allowing them to absorb shock much easier.

* PCBs can be cut in such a way as to allow for mounting holes or be in relatively arbitrary shapes.

* PCBs can be designed to protect some components from static damage.

What I can see on the other hand is some packages end up being dropped into the PCB and soldered at the sides. Sometimes this is done with large through-hole capacitors, where the legs are bent and the capacitor sits in the middle of the PCB (inside a cut hole). Other than ball packages, you could could probably drop the majority into the PCB itself.

The other obvious option for manufacturers will be to put more tech on a single die, but then other problems are also raised. For example, some parts are binned based on their tested results.

Even your comments are all pro RMS yet I'm engaging you.
This is one of the saddest things I have ever seen.
If enough people think like you the carbon tax is going to be an everything tax (sea walls, relocations of populations, etc.) which is going to cost a lot more than a Tesla price differential.
They have various high-index lens options, but they cost more, so it won't be $10.
I decided to toss it up again because I came across a small 4-col chart I had while cleaning house, and was reminded not only of the simplicity, but my original surprise when I saw it on HN a couple years ago...I figured at least a few more people hadn't seen it yet and could appreciate it.
I have wanted to make that transition for years now, but the opportunity never presented itself, I can't even find a way to force my way into the opportunity. It seems like all management in every company Ive worked at were coworkers of the founders at a previous company.
This product is part of Amazon's "Day One" program, which is largely stuff that they're throwing against the (shopping) wall to see if it sticks. It's like the Alexa Microwave...a shitty microwave that was intended as a reference design that became the best-selling microwave on Amazon.

Amazon is testing the waters for Alexa-integrated wearables. Not just earbuds, which are a saturated market, but other wearables like rings and frames.

If it does, the potential upside is huge--they could create an entire new market, like they did with the original Echo and Kindle. If not, it's a rounding error in an immaterial account on the financials.
They'll get a percentage of the total overall users based on time of usage. Really how else would they incentivize this?
This is one of the worst names possible, I'm astounded this made it into a finished product.

I want to, but the online requirement for seemingly basic commands like “next track” renders the feature useless when I need it the most: the London Tube. I often have no hands free when travelling in peak hour and connectivity at stations is patchy at best.

> Recent studies (citations not handy) have shown that high-carb or high-fat diets don't lead to weight gain, but high-carb AND high-fat diets do (at least in mice, a big caveat).

I thought it was agreed upon that if you consume more calories than you burn regardless of their fat/protein/carbohydrate profile, you were going to gain weight?
Personally I went on a diet of mostly pasta and eggs, lost weight and feel better. (Lots of processed meat like pancetta, guanciale, or speck in those pasta dishes.)

I think you need to look at people on an individual basis. I start to get skeptical that what turned out to worked for me can work for everybody else. For me I think portion size and increased physical activity were big.
So, you think that getting into your car, driving to a retail location, paying $7.95 for that $1 item, and then driving back home is better for the environment?

Well, maybe in a Telsa.
I somehow doubt this is the case. When a business is described as low-margin, it’s on a per-sale basis; they make $.02 on every bolt sold kind of thing. If its a functioning business, then they still make reasonable total profit due to volume of sale.

So yes, if this were an additional $20 per sale it might deeply cut into their margins if they aren’t a luxury product.

However, I struggle to imagine that every, or most, or even many, of a hotels sales are anniversaries, or similar kinds of events, that would deserve such additional servicing.

If the total profit is $200k, a single $20 (or relatively few) instance is nothing, regardless of high or low margins.

Specially servicing these rare, one-off events, is exactly how you exceed customer expectations without running your business into the ground.

You're venturing into solipsism and that's a well trod dead end. There's certainly an objective world out there. That's where all the fun stuff happens, you know, the stuff with other people, consensus reality.
Not paying sales tax on mail order was the norm. The time period you're talking about, Amazon, and the internet in general, hadn't penetrated to the general public. 1995-96 was just when a small minority of people were waking up to the idea they needed to be on the internet and getting their first direct PPP dialup account. People still went to physical book stores because, for one thing, you couldn't preview a book online.

It wasn't at all obvious that Amazon would take over the world well into the 2000s. They looked like every other dotcom, particularly because they didn't consistently make GAAP profits and so people were just waiting for them to die. AWS, Kindle, Prime, Fresh, lots of stuff are recent developments.

Absolutely nothing about the original concept could have told you what it would become or was in any way exclusive.

I am a fan of buying empty tea bags and then filling them with loose-leaf tea. The more enviromentally friendly way to have tea that is not oversteeped would be to use a metal strainer, but those can be a pain to clean.

I didn't know to check what those bags are made of, but now I do.
I've had similar experience with trying intermittent fasting, I expected that fasting was supposed to be a challenge to put up with a mildly unpleasant experience because it's good for you.

But no, the fasting periods were merely times when I wasn't eating, and that includes pushing them out to 30+ hours and going a day without eating and without much hunger on a couple of occasions.

Occasionally, I've had experiences where running was light and energeising and fun, during that intermittent fasting time. I suspect now that the people who say they can't live without exercise and "exercise should be a celebration of what you can do" feel this the majority of the time. In the past, almost always a drag to push through.

Has Walmart ever been charged for predatory pricing? There have been plenty of accusations and lawsuits, but from what I've seen, they amount to accusations of having a few "loss leader" products. I can't find any evidence that either 1) loss leader pricing strategies are clearly illegal or 2) that Walmart actually prices things at a loss rather than simply cheaper than the cheapest price a competitor can offer.
No reason? Hey, let's assume you're running a business. Only it's a special business. The customers really need your service. And they don't pay for your service. Someone else pays the bill for them. And they are extremely interested in acquiring the absolute top quality possible when using the service. So when you charge $50, but the guy across town charges $500, the customer will fight tooth and nail to get in and use your competitor instead. Call it 'reverse capitalism.'

That's insurance-supported medical care in the US. No one wants to go to the cut-rate bargain-basement doctor. And the majority of patients aren't paying their own medical bills. The insurance company is footing that bill. So when their kid gets sick, they're price-shopping in reverse. They only want the premium level, and offering a good deal actively stops people from using the service.

And that doesn't even get into the price-fixing that insurance companies engage in, entirely legally, because insurance is determined to be "not commerce" and therefore exempt from all antitrust laws. There is definitely a reason why Americas sub-standard care is so expensive - insurance.

> It's not so easy to binge protein bars, despite companies doing their chemical best to make them taste like candy.

Amusing anecdote - for some reason, after a night on the town in Hong Kong, I ended up back in my hotel room, ravenous, with nothing to eat but a box of 10 protein bars that had been gifted to me.

I tore through the whole box in under 10 minutes. My stomach did not thank me.

This comment was never meant to be anything more than "story time". Logically, I know that this study doesn't prove any genetic difference in how men and women interact with video games. However, my monkey brain wasn't satisfied with "well there could be some other reason"; so I put together a neat little narrative, to represent a single point in that entire probability space. It took some effort to come up with this narrative, and the thread didn't have any good comments at the time, so I decided to post it.

If you do think that this study proves a genetic difference between how men and women, then one of us is wrong about what an experiment like this can "prove". (I don't think it's quite "correlation != causation", but it's along those lines; I don't have the vocabulary to precisely say why I think that position is wrong.) If that is your position, then maybe this one counterexample will be enough to change your view; it should be, even though that was never my intent. Maybe I've drastically misread your comment and you don't believe anything of the sort. If so, I'm sorry.
Remember targeting doesn't apply to the viewer, it applies to the advertiser.

>faster than what you write in C

It's hard to compare working with an HDL to working with a programming language like C; they are fundamentally different. The short answer to that question is that using an FPGA can lead to massive but situational performance increases. You can't use an FPGA for everything, but when you need it, you need it.

>testing then export designs into hardware

This is another common use case. Some designs can be tested on an FPGA before committing that design for production as an ASIC. There's also the case where you may need to reconfigure the hardware, so you can never truly commit to an ASIC, and continue using the FPGA.
Another potential reform (from the book "Radical Markets") - charge a (say 1%) property tax on the patent based on self-assessed value, with the caveat that you MUST sell the patent to anyone willing to pay your claimed value.

This basically destroys patent trolling, which only works because of the asymmetrical difference in cost between obtaining a patent and defending a patent lawsuit. If the troll prices the patent too low, the person they are suing just buys it, if they charge too much, they have a massive recurring tax bill (and an incentive to settle quickly, not to drag it out in the courts for years).
> Having every person under the same plan that has the negotiating power of 327.2 million people will definitely drive costs down. Don't want to pay what the government says it is going to pay? Good luck finding customers then, because the government is bargaining on behalf of all of the customers in the US.

So my mom and her boyfriend are both under Medicare now, as was her late 2nd husband. My mom and I had both generally been Medicare For All supporters (with some reservations in my case), but I got an earful recently about how people who support Medicare For All don't know what they're in for...

The problem is with Medicare's system of billing codes. Sure, if a hospital doesn't like the reimbursement rate, they can't go find other customers. But they can - and will - find other procedures. Not making enough money from that doctor's visit? Well, we better do some tests, then, just to be sure there's no lurking problem. Oh, there was a spot on that X-ray - more tests. We didn't find anything serious, but there was a benign growth that you probably should get taken care of. Don't worry, it's a quick procedure, it could potentially be done as an outpatient but you might want to make it an overnight hospital stay just to be sure. Shit, you contracted an infection in the hospital? Gotta extend that stay until you're better.

Basically, if they can't raise prices, they will find ways to do more procedures. My mom's description of what modern American health care is like as a senior citizen is truly terrifying - basically they manufacture illnesses so that they can cure them and bill for it.

I came to the conclusion (reinforced by every corporate scandal you read about on HN, and my time in the financial and tech industries) that the problem isn't health care per se, but something is deeply broken in American culture. People don't give a shit about their fellow Americans as people, only as dollars, and as a result no matter what system you institute it will end up being gamed in harmful ways. The U.S. is falling from a high-trust to a low-trust society, and there are few if any ways to bring it back.

> "Given two packages vying for the name kik, we believe that a substantial number of users who type npm install kik would be confused to receive code unrelated to the messaging app with over 200 million users."

Liked the way Amazon shipped this product. It’s definitely a prototype of mature version of smart glasses which can provide some useful insights about customer behavior.
>In reality, it is a great way to ensure a customer never comes back and likely does not recommend the company to others.

I've make significant lifestyle changes just because companies pissed me off enough to create a personal grudge. For example, I was an Xbox fanboy starting around 2005. Several years later I got a girlfriend and bought her an Xbox Live Gold subscription so she could play with me. It turned out not to be her thing, so I tried to cancel the service, except Microsoft made it an absolute nightmare. Reps bounced me from person to person, and several times I received a monthly bill despite the rep assuring me the account had been canceled. It filled me with such rage I canceled my own Live subscription, sold my Xbox 360, and swore off console gaming entirely. I'll be in the cold, cold ground before I give Microsoft another damn cent.
Yes, but that isn't the root cause is it?

Even if the current employer is big enough to negotiate lower prices or deals for its coverage and that's a barrier to entry for the startup, both companies could be set one a level field in a universal healthcare system removing this cost center from both companies. Even if the cost is (partially) rolled into something like payroll or income taxes, it would still impact the big company and the startup much more equitably.

Barriers to entry are one item this site and many of its users and are fighting to better disrupt industries and create value. If you can't get talent because you can't provide healthcare and a solution for that exists in most developed nations (universal care), why are we not engaging that?
With some luck, this might be the beginning of a great community
In my own company, I get to decide what work I'm doing, what the production schedule is, what the processes are, my working conditions, and so forth.

But mostly it's the "what work I'm doing" part.

The advantage to working for someone else is that there are a ton of things you don't have to pay any attention to. So, when I'm between entrepreneurial projects or am just in a "low energy" period, I work for someone else. Eventually, though, the "itch" returns and I'll start a new company.
Thanks, I definitely misunderstood the change.

An interesting new place value visualization is the "exploding dots"

https://gdaymath.com/courses/exploding-dots/

which I think I first learned about here on HN.

It teaches place value but also expands the concept into all sorts of other areas of algebraic structure, including polynomials. It's actually quite similar to a counting board plus some interesting manipulation rule variations.
Wind farm protests about aesthetics mystify me.

Driving through central Kansas, the towers are just this stark reminder of how far we've come, and how little we are. You see nothing, nothing, nothing... then BAM! These massive towers generating energy from the winds on the plains, in a state named for the people of the south wind. All of them impossibly tall, the field going on for miles, your mind doesn't even really process how big an individual one is, let alone the scale of the whole farm.

They always hit me like a monument. Like that feeling you might get walking into a cathedral with a slow whistle up at the ceiling. It's more than that, though, it's bundled up with a bit of futurism from the new tech, a bit like finishing a piece of utopian sci fi at the same time.

There's no accounting for taste, for sure. So maybe some people are just accustomed to the way certain views used to look and don't want any change. Maybe they grew up there and have strong attachments.

It's just hard hearing people dismissing beauty as blight, something that could be sublime if they just looked at it a slightly different way.
Things You’ll See While Sitting in Traffic on the Freeway
Uh why would you consider it revenue? It’s more like risk free profit. Meaning they keep some tiny amount of every cup of coffee sold, but 100% of interest earned.

And it’s important enough that they call it out in their earnings report. And the more interesting use case is that it’s a billion dollar 0% loan, not necessarily that they make interest off it sitting in a bank.
That title might even kill it in general as we'd read it, agree, then move on instead of clicking through to read the story.

>Sweet things like muffins or cakes are generally unbearably sweet to me

Seriously!! Sometimes I go to the bakery of my local grocery store and check out the muffins, they tend to have more sugar than I'd expect cupcakes to have.
I think it's more that ultra-processed foods typically have high amounts of sugars and carbs. Any diet where you remove sugar and carbs, you'll see weight loss. Diabetics demonstrate that our relationship with food is much more complex than most people think - for example, diabetics don't have to inject insulin if eating white cheddar cheese.

People should generally eat more protein in the form of meat, eggs, fish, nuts, cheese, etc. You feel fuller and with a little exercise you can quite easily turn it into muscle.
Lol, or the bulk of the AWS income that is probably boring enterprise. Sure, less startups is less cpu cycles bought, but there are a shit tone of companies that aren't going to scale down in a massive way.
