The more I think about it, the differences between Amazon and Walmart are much smaller than I once thought. They're both platforms upon which sellers can sell goods. One of the bigger differences seems to be quality assurance. More specifically, to what degree is each company burdened with that important responsibility?

If some manufacturer put something unsafe into a food product, I would blame the manufacturer. Seems pretty cut and dry. On the other hand, if Walmart was stocking expired food I would blame Walmart because they should be responsible tracking inventory and maintaining a safe environment. Seems pretty cut and dry.

Why does Amazon seem different to me? More importantly, should they be seen as different?
> DNS over HTTPS doesn't exist to circumvent enterprise content filtering

Replace "enterprise" with "ISP" or "nation state", and that's closer to what the DoH aims are.
Before we go any further, are you a scientist or a doctor? You're arguing on a thread where there are a bunch of scientists who have fairly deep knowledge in this area (it's still an area that a lot of people who come from external areas, like physics, struggle with frequently).

Cancer rates are strongly driven by age- cancer incidence increases exponentially as people age (stochastically, of course).
Oddly, the HN title is the <title> tag, but not the headline actually shown on the website.
HTTP had persistent connections ever since HTTP/1.1, and HTTP/2 supports parallel streams within the same persistent connection.

HTTP/3 is still a IETF draft, but is already being deployed pretty much by all big sites. It supports zero-round-trip (0RTT) requests even after the IP of the client has changed.

DoH can essentially match the latency of traditional UDP queries, while also encrypting the channel and traversing any gateways that let HTTPS through.
At a high level of abstraction, most of the addictive software is driven by various metrics, getting feedback from the users, and rewards from the environment.
Most human cogs building the machine are just following the flow of the algorithm.

Those algorithmic entities have a mind of their own. Humans also have to teach them the right incentives, like you would with a toddler, for them to grow into adults we could live along.

In the meantime, until the human-attention resource is properly managed, humans should probably aim the carrot and the stick at the ones in control.

There is a lot of space to get creative here while embracing progress :

-Instead of punishing the weak human for being addicted, they could for example tax the junk-soft companies in proportion of time spent by addicted users.

-They can also entice the entertainment industry by rewarding them if the students get good grades and sleep well, or make them share the burden if it leads to unemployment, or health expenses.

-Instead of sponsoring non-scaling rehab camps for potentially 30% of the youth population, they could compete by sponsoring game studios that create more positive games/software/distractions.

You still have to worry. This is one study, not a final word on the topic, there's considerable uncertainty in this area. Notably recent numbers indicate that Greenland melting is worse than predicted.
I blame the big bang for starting it at all.
To be fair, there’s also quite a few published studies showing a positive effect for various pseudoscientific medical practices. Those studies just tend to be very poorly designed, executed, controlled, and don’t represent the actual literature trend.

You really do have to spend significant time investigating the literature to actually.

Perhaps I should have been more clear, apologies if I assumed it would be inferred.

To use your term data, with complex topics it isn’t simply having data. One must know which data is relevant to consider for which topic at which point. And even more importantly, one must understand which missing sets of information need to be considered.

There is a reason our society has come to place such a high value on experience and expertise. And it isn’t solely because someone had books of data stored on massive bookshelves. While these bookshelves are important, it is their understanding in the nuances of which books to hunt for answers.

Our new ability to store significantly more of these books and retrieve them more efficiently doesn’t remove our need for someone to use and contextualize the information contained in these books. New tech doesn’t change the fact that expertise matters.

Interestingly enough, we now face a sort of reverse of the problems we’ve faced for centuries: While we used to struggle to find enough information to feed to experts, now we face too much data and not enough experts to properly make use of it.

Again, apologies if my first post wasn’t clarifying enough.

Perhaps the people who should go to camps are those creating and designing software and hardware specifically to keep people coming back to their screens and staying there.

In this case camps to learn that while they can design them that way, not to. Or to help create legislation to change the rules of the market to remove the Nash equilibrium of maximum craving and addiction.
Then there are people like me, who are in love with technology, but work with it and science so closely we have a very good understanding of when and how technology can have risks, and when it can have benefits. And when it's impossible to predict.
Apparently a long time - especially since the British were never in Saudi Arabia.

They (Saudi Arabia) were a full participant in the partitioning of the Ottoman empire, and annexed much of the west side of the Gulf themselves.
At some point, you're being insulting by implicitly stripping everyone of the agency to deal with their own lives and problems. I don't think the last people in China that have ever had agency were 800 years ago. I don't know where that line is, but ~40 generations is definitely on the other side of it. (Probably isn't a "line" anyhow.)
I agree - and you're probably right but I think we should hold ourselves to the same standards of evidence we expect of others.

This brings up the same core issue as all official diversity initiatives: as soon as you talk about it, you destroy it.

When you make diversity a focus and celebrate yourself for being diverse, then the spirit of diversity is ruined. It's like something out of a zen koan. A truly diverse organization would not need to put out press releases and build its brand on being diverse, nor would they need to start official initiatives to select "diverse" employees (the very concept of an individual being "diverse" betraying the absurdity of the whole enterprise).

You are left with a shell of the real thing - it's a commitment to aesthetic diversity (even of the neuro- variety), without the spirit that diversity is meant to represent. In a situation of aesthetic diversity, people are valuable because they are "diverse", rather than from simply being people. Their adjective ends up coming first (autistic, black, queer, etc.) and, at least at the level of the organization, their humanity gets left behind.

I remember in middle school (~2004) in Cambridge we had a school assembly about global warming, and they showed an animation of a cup of water filled with ice, the ice melting, and then the cup overflowing.

In retrospect it was a simplified analogy for kids to understand, but on the other hand, massive ammunition for climate skeptics such as my parents who instantly debunked the analogy as soon as I told them about the assembly and put a cup of ice water on the kitchen table to show how silly the claim was.
I can't find my tiny violin for Jason anywhere; too bad. :(

This is the most entitled blog post I have ever seen. As much as I personally dislike Google et al. I don't believe the ownership of a trademark or even just a brand entitles you to be the top of page for that word.

Also... if someone is searching for Basecamp specifically (i.e. using the search team "basecamp") they likely aren't going to click an ad for something they aren't looking for.

I have a very hard time feeling bad for Basecamp in this situation.
That doesn't seem true, France for example has automatic cameras at traffic lights, and the yellow light has a duration fixed by law (3s on urban streets, 5s outside cities) and it has not changed since traffic light cameras were introduced. So that's one jurisdiction where your assertion is false.

(Anyway, in most places the fines from the automatic cameras do not go to the same administration that decides the speed limits and places the traffic lights, so in the end the common accusation of "they only want to make money from it" doesn't make that much sense)

If memory serves some of the more dire predictions accounted for 40 feet of sea level rise as a result of melting ice. This article says that Antarctica's ice shelves (cliffs) would only amount to six feet.

So that leaves 'only' 34 feet of sea level rise if the ice cliffs don't collapse as a result of occasional calving and instead gradually melt over time (at a slower pace).

Either way it's going to make the sea rise... Just over say, 150 years instead of 50.
And that's bad because...?

You can also turn it off to save this data on you.
Nah. It's like having a study come out that shows smoking doesn't cause toenail cancer like the previous ones did. You know the tobacco industry will portray it as "new study shows smoking doesn't cause cancer!" or "scientists cast doubt on smoking-cancer link".

Furthermore, even if cell phones cause cancer then the risk will in all likelihood be so small that it doesn't justify banning the technology. [1]

For example, eating barbecued meat causes cancer, but it we don't ban it.

It's odd that NordVPN, VikingVPN and Torguard all got their private keys leaked here.

You must try what's better for your team. Decide in subteams and share with the others the experience on workshops, then evaluate the pros and cons to decide and don't be afraid of try and change. The right set of tools also depends on the type of work you do.

Blogs, wikis and QA sites (also microblogging, shared conversations) witch a search center for all are classic instruments for implementing solutions that start by the organization (with agreement) of the "way of doing" by the teams and management. UPDATE: Like others say no replacement but a complement of teams and people face to face interactions, that can be perfectly established with some sort of SCRUM scalation.

On dev and DevOps environments, I prefer "doc as code" solutions (Github based); with one type of Github project as Hub for a collection of subprojects, using the main repo as documentation for guide, FAQ, status and blog post host (markdown or variants) as well as the Project Management and Issues management features as coordination tools.

Please elaborate on the kind of work and teams, the real need for integration with existent information management systems and the community will come with better suggestions. There is a lot of tools available, including more general approaches like a CMS portal with Sharepoint or O365 or Wordpress with plugins, some more direct to the KNB question only like QA for teams (StackOverflow), others tasks focused like Trello, etc.

>On what concerns the JVM, Kotlin hype will be over in a couple of years, and it will get as much use as Scala, Clojure, Beanshell, Groovy enjoy nowadays.

And we know that because?

>Guest languages never get to own a platform

That depends on the platform, who is running it, and how. You couldn't have a worse steering than Oracle.

And most "guest languages" are smaller affairs, they don't have companies the size of Google chosing them for Android app development (a huge niche in itself). Or have first class support from the most popular IDE of the host environment.

Plus, anything is anecdotal, as we have so few cases of major parent/host language rivalries, and even fewer cases with similar dynamics, that there's no real prediction.

Scala was too complex for most Jave-ers, too slow to compile, didn't have a Google pushing it to its platform devs but an insignificant company, etc. Clojure was a Lisp (= doomed), Beanshell and Groovy where from small, insignificant origins, and not pushed by anyone really mainstream the size of Google/FB/etc.

Kotlin doesn't have any of those issues.

Heck, even Elixir does quite well I hear.
Other points: while excessive radiation is bad, below a certain point it is not harmful, and in fact is beneficial. There's some good reading here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_no-threshold_model
Most scientists today would say that below a threshold, there is no negative effect to radiation (or rather, you can't predict the effect in a stochastic way as a function of dose) and also that within certain regimes, radiation is beneficial (mutations leading to evolution).
Beware of expressing built-up anger. Contrary to mainstream thought, it can be a really big problem in various areas of your life, especially your interpersonal relations.

Usually, the real cause of the anger evades us (that's why we've so much of it built up), and we can't express it constructively (if that's possible at all). A big realization for me was that even though I feet somewhat better letting my lid blow off and unloading on a person, it's very destructive (before I persistently ignored that, justifying my anger as righteous), and it's not a treatment for what caused it.

I guess if I had to summarize my realization in one sentence, I'd say that I realized that there were things I didn't want to acknowledge and feelings about myself and others that I wanted to push out of myself, and that this resistance was what caused the inner turmoil and anger. When I started consciously trying to stay with the "bad" feelings, instead of reject them, things started to change.
>As always, colonialism is the problem.

Yes, the period of colonialism that lasted a few centuries is to blame for the all the many years before and after of the Arab world fighting among themselves, as well as subjugating their population with backward, barbaric laws, to this day.

Amazon shareholders should be asking management why they think the cost savings of commingling are worth the loss of brand value and trust. Higher income people don’t care about spending more money if it saves them time, so why waste that good will?
I would bet that most who wouldn’t buy Sublime at $70 wouldn’t buy it at $35 either. If you’re paying for text editors and fonts they’re probably important enough to you that you probably won’t let price deter you unless it’s truly exorbitant.

Personally speaking I’m a bit more spendy on small dev products because I know it’s harder for them to stay afloat, unlike Jetbrains or Adobe which aren’t really impacted by my purchase decisions in any meaningful way.
Buttigieg was a fantastic candidate until he made it big earlier this year. He's been courting rich donors and shifted a lot of his positions from before. He played up the idealist early on, but after figuring out he was going to run 3rd to Liz and Bernie the whole way out, he decided to shift into the young Joe Biden lane. I've been completely turned off by his campaign during this stretch, as it's obvious he just wants to become president and will do/say whatever he needs to to make that happen.

Why bother building something like this in to a phone app as opposed to building a webapp that can be accessed via phone using the phones browser as the client? It seems like going the app route would make it easy for the app store runners to censor.

Conversely, this is a massive indictment of the git user interface.

People used to talk about "CASE tools": Computer Aided Software Engineering, by analogy with the CAD tools that replaced physical drawing tables once the technology got good enough. I joke that certain tools are "computer impaired software engineering", and git can certainly belong in that category at times.

What we have built is a tool with a good internal model but a user interface that it's easier for you to not use a computer, to step away to the whiteboard, in order to work out what to do.

We don't tolerate this for, say, word processors; people don't go to a piece of paper to lay out their headings and only then work out the incantations necessary to achieve that result.

(Has anyone attempted to make a "transparent porcelain" GUI which represents the "intuitive" internals in an actually explanatory way? The success of which could be measured by the reduced number of mistakes and amount of apprehension experienced by non-expert users?)
That’s a little pithy, how about: When approaching a stoplight you should be looking ahead during the window when a green to yellow transition would be important information.
