Is it true that multiple people tripping on it at the same time, in different rooms, see the same things, events and even people in their trip? I've never tried any psychedelics, but if there were any truth to what I have heard, it would be a fascinating topic to study while monitoring brainwave activity.
Major retailers typically have affiliate programs in which if an affiliate (say Honey) refers a customer to the retailer and the customer then makes a purchase, then the retailer will pay out a commission to the affiliate.

This model is substantially similar to RetailMeNot, except Honey will automatically try every coupon they know of for you automatically.
After reading this article, I still don't understand what problem these were solving that is now solved by other means. Why was there a need to rapidly transport cash around the store in the first place? This apparently isn't needed anymore, so what problem existed then that no longer exists now?

The article says cash carriers went away due to 1. pneumatic tubes, and 2. automatic counter registers. However, pneumatic tubes isn't much of an answer, because that's just a different way of rapidly transporting cash, and those are now gone as well.

So presumably the real answer has to be these "automatic counter registers". But the article never elaborates on what those are. How does an automatic counter register differ from earlier cash registers, and why was it that without them one needed a rapid cash transport method?
I don't think so. The first batch went to staff.
> Knife skills. Keep them sharp.

Cooking for over 15 years at home and still only learned this recently despite already knowing about it. I had to grind out a chip from one of our knives, and I realised when I was done it was much sharper than I usually get them. I hadn't been doing it quite right all this time.

> Mise en place

Asian wok-based cooking is great for learning this. You don't have time to mess around. It's something I've been trying lately (my frying pan stir-fry was always pathetic so I never made it at home, but now that I have a wok I can do a decent one).
Your rights are within the context of a society you live in.

People in different countries have different rights. And governments can usurp those rights as needed e.g. jail you, kill you.
The answer must be political.

Hackers have protected users since years. It's time for politicians to protect their citizens.
This just isn't true.

Nearly every SoC you can buy today has hardware accelerators in it, from STM32s up to Xeons. You have to be looking at really tiny, generally pretty old micros before you literally don't have any.

On top of that, hitting hardware speeds by putting in faster cores just isn't a thing for most parts. It's pretty easy to get 8-9x throughput wins on many primitives with a hardware accelerator, but getting a similar improvement just by getting bigger chips is often impossible and always expensive.

Fun fact, but CPUs/GPUs/etc are almost 100% efficient at converting electricity to heat, as they don't give off light energy like a heater would, via its glowing coils.

So, theoretically, heating your house with CPUs would be greener than using central heating...

If you live in a cold area, a home server's heat wouldn't be wasted, in fact it would theoretically lower your heating bill(by .01% or less, but hey!) as less electricity would be used on the less efficient heater.
This is an odd offshoot issue that comes I think from the larger movement towards web-based applications and hosted "services" replacing bespoke desktop apps.

I have to say I feel a bit old hearing developers say "well why didn't the OS developers provide common APIs for creating applications?" which in my mind, is asking why Toyota Corollas and Ford F-150's don't use the same engine. The answer being they were two entire universes, and still are to a great degree.

That being said, while it is desirable to have standard API endpoints that are accessible, and while standards in general are a Good Thing(tm) to have, it does get a bit tiresome to hear different companies like Spotify[1], especially of that scale, bemoaning that they simply "must" use frameworks like Electron to build their applications because developing for individual platforms is just too expensive. If you want your application available on multiple platforms, and you want it to be a good experience to use, then you should be developing bespoke applications for them. That's just... logic, to me.

Yeah, it's more work. But to take a crap ton of web-content, shove it in a .app file and distribute that is massively wasteful, lazy, and results in what that kind of effort typically nets: bad experiences.

For example: I absolutely LOVE the Atom editor. It's a fantastic tool to use. That said I've had to give it up because it was simply killing my Mac's performance, a brand new, 2019, 15" Macbook Pro would sit there spinning it's fans up whenever it was on the screen, for a text editor. A feature rich text editor to be sure, but this thing can play 4K movies without even running the fans. A text editor should not strain it. I can't help but feel Electron is playing a role here.

[1]: I have no idea if Spotify uses Electron. I just know they've complained about this before.
I'm pretty sure IPA is the de facto standard for conveying English pronunciation in textbooks around the world, not just in China.

Actually, your examples just showed how useless roots are to make up words. I wouldn't be able to guess the meaning of any of the words you mentioned just by knowing their roots. So maybe they're easier to memorize than random syllables, but that's about it.

> Are reposts ok?

> If a story has had significant attention in the last year or so, we kill reposts as duplicates. If not, a small number of reposts is ok.

It's not very clear, but something between 5 and 10 repost are too much. Specially if you repos it every day. (And a few of your old post are quite similar.)

Don't expect to get much response if you continue to post the same thing. Moreover, some people is starting to flag these stories.

You can try to start a blog, get a few fans that agree with you, and the use this as the base for your discussion forum.
Boundaries are the bigger point. What's funny is I see on Steve Lehto's YT vids that he says random non-doctors diagnose him with all kinds of fatal ailments in spite of him recently running a marathon. Lmao!
I agree with your point. Just want to mention if you are using callbacks, might be worth looking at switching to async/await.
What does Chrome Devtools have that Firefox's doesn't?
I learned Smalltalk in the 1980s as a middle school student. There was always the hope that Smalltalk would actually take off...

Ironically, the use of the browser as the target for programming has, slowly, haltingly, and through nearly-infinite compromises and kludges, actually provided the working platform Smalltalk promised us Gen-Xers when we dabbled in programming as kids. I think it's ultimately for the best, even if not the ideal path to have gotten there...
In this case specifically though, what security problems do you think there might be?
I've never heard of the MESI protocol before so that was really interesting to read, and I liked the comparison to distributed systems.

I'm wondering if the MESI protocol could be used in a networked database manner? I feel like you need master node though to coordinate everything though (like the L2 does in the example).
> and the poor state of Boeing pilot training in many developing countries,

IHTPO that the 737 Max's that crashed were the newest planes operated by companies with advanced training.

It's no question that random airlines flying clapped-out planes in remote corners of the earth can be quite scary* (some of the smaller operators in the OECD countries too) but that isn't really a factor in the two crashes that grounded the aircraft.

* On two occasions in my life I have been frightened enough not to get on a scheduled flight (I didn't hear that either crashed). These were entirely been due to the physical state of the aircraft.
There are pros and cons to using web tech for the application UI. To be clear, the old XBL code was already using JS/DOM, so the most obvious pro in this case was that it didn't require completely rewriting Firefox from scratch (which hasn't historically worked out well). I also expect that dogfooding web technologies means we can improve the tooling and web standard implementations in Gecko.

Regarding performance, this work didn't regress anything. Performance is measured on every commit and staying at least at parity was a requirement for the project.
I've read that part of what they do is effectively steal affiliate referrals from other websites. Say you click on an affiliate referral link from a blog that takes you to retailers website. Normally that blog would get a cut of whatever you buy at that retailer. However, if you then use your Honey extension, their affiliate link takes over and gets credit for the sale. Honey can then give you a small discount that is a portion of their affiliate commission.

In some sense Honey can steal the affiliate commissions from blogs and other websites since you use Honey right before the sale.

That’s when you share this story from amanda palmer

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/6679223-a-farmer-is-sitting...

A farmer is sitting on his porch in a chair, hanging out.
A friend walks up to the porch to say hello, and hears an awful yelping, squealing sound coming from inside the house.
"What's that terrifyin' sound?" asks the friend.
"It's my dog," said the farmer. "He's sittin' on a nail."
"Why doesn't he just sit up and get off it?" asks the friend.
The farmer deliberates on this and replies:
"Doesn't hurt enough yet.
To put it in perspective:

WhatsApp: $55/user

Instagram: $20/user
Absolutely. I'm not railing against WASM. WASM just has better marketing and tooling than straight Javascript.

Putting a VM into our browsers, along with sufficient API support to make that VM useful, is what spells the eventual end of the document-based web. I think that future arrived a few years ago and it's just not evenly distributed yet.
Yes, that is the flaw in my reasoning. If someone used my reasoning to just check out and not be concerned about their children being abducted, then we'd rightly believe there is something wrong with that person.

And if the parent became manic and left no stone unturned in their search for their child, like Taken, we'd be understanding.

Yet, our world is not the world of Taken, and we are not ex-CIA agents capable of destroying anyone in our path. There are truly evil people in this world capable of harming us, whom we have no power to thwart. Think of people living in the land of a drug lord, who can swoop in and take their children if he feels like it. Or the Uighurs and Falun Gong of China, who are regularly captured and organ harvested, and there's nothing they can do about it. There is great evil in our world, and little we can do about it but do our best to fight it and never give up, and even then there is no hope of truly eradicating evil from our world. What is the appropriate response?

>How can you not mention egypt's own royal tombs, which were chock full of rich artwork

This is actually an interesting point by people who argue the Great Pyramid is not a royal tomb...all other royal tombs are richly decorated, whereas the chambers in the great pyramid are noticeably bear.

I always understood the white polished casing stones were not painted but did have carved hieroglyphics (I think this is how they have identified some of the reused stone in mosques for example). On the other hand, the Sphinx still has some blue and yellow paint on it.
But Venmo/PayPal don't have any ads?

Furthermore, just because you can link people together, it doesn't mean that knowledge is actually valuable. The only social network you can link to Venmo currently is Facebook. The only other way to "discover" contacts/friends is by uploading your contact book to Venmo's servers.

Yes, as proven multiple times, and being pushed forward by the likes of Apple, Google and Microsoft.

Regarding using Go as a real systems language (in the same meaning as C):

This sort of stuff leads to Atlantis and flat earthing.

Which can be fun, but from the people I've met they are not in great places. Where they'd be without it, hard to say though....

It is a interesting question, if flat earthing is a gateway ideology or is it a good distracting harmless ideology in itself?

There's no evidence of gold like the picture.

I think I disagree somewhat with the premise of this article. Computers are more efficient in general when they are fully loaded. A home server is rarely fully utilized and doesn't realize the full potential of multitasking/virtualization. It is more efficient to share different tasks among the same set of disks and memory. On the cloud, anything you didn't use could theoretically be given to someone else.

The hardware lifecycle should also be considered. Although home environments often recycle equipment, cloud environments are in a better position to get more bang per watt, and can upgrade their SAN storage capacity easily to handle changes in demand.

I suppose there is a lot of inefficiency in hitting all those switches and routers on the way to a cloud's network. However that's shared with other users as well.

I don't think Amazon works with them anymore for referrals? Other websites might though.

Rakuten/ebates works the same way. You go to a website, turn on the referral program, and then the plugin will send you a physical check in the mail once you hit a minimum amount (and it will be at most quarterly).

If you have customers spend $1B+ quarterly using these plugins and you get maybe 1% cut then you're getting $10m cash/yr plus all kinds of browsing data to sell analytics on.

Assuming the conclusions of the article are correct, Boeing is yet another company driven to disaster by the desire to put someone in charge who isn't an expert on the product the company sells.

Let's discuss. When does it makes sense to put a non-product-person in charge? Why, beyond the old stock price pump-n-dump? Any counterexamples where it worked for a while and then the wheels came off?
Usually the lower case and capital 'T' is the main difference.

How are online retailers ok with this? Surely this violates referral kickback ToS or something? Doesn't seem fair to not pay the _real_ referrer that leads to a purchase.
Hello,

thank you for your explanation! I would love to hear more about your approach. I am looking what to do next in my professional life, and these kind of concepts sound very exciting!

What do you mean by multi-stage xfers?
You can think of Nothing and Just as functions that construct a MaybeInteger.

Nothing takes no parameters because there's no value there, so why would it?

Just takes an integer and gives you a MaybeInteger containing the integer you supplied to it.

There is only a single type here, namely MaybeInteger.

I also rely mostly on Google Photos as my viewing and sharing app. This includes sharing photos with family which is done through Google Photos shared albums.

I'm really the only one who cares about archiving photos so I'll transfer the shared photos from Google Photos to Google Drive (using the "share" functionality from the mobile app).

This kicks off a workflow that simultaneioously organizes the shared photo into my library and copies it too Dropbox and uploads it to my Google Photos library [1]. (I use Google Drive as a transport mechanism to get photos off my phone and onto my Synology).

Not ideal but once I got it set up it's worked really well.

I live and work in Manhattan and there is a great deal of traffic congestion that could be fixed by removing parking spaces on streets that have
1. dedicated bus lanes.
2. bike lanes.

14th St has removed all parking and auto traffic and the crosstown buses are very frequent even on a weekend and convenient.

A lot of traffic can be blocked by delivery trucks that are double parked on streets which have parking on both sides.

One reason is that the trucks are too wide for the city streets. There should be a mandated by law maximum width on delivery trucks for NYC that are no wider than an SUV or other wide car. Instead of making the trucks wide, make them long and narrow.

That way, even if the delivery trucks like Fedex, UPS, Freshdirect, etc are double parked, they don't block the entire street.

I meant more ergonomic for my workflow. Using the number line would mean I'm repeatedly moving my hand back and forth across the keyboard.

I want a declarative web. I wish there wasn't a VM in my browser. I want a web where my user agent, under my control, dictates how documents are interpreted and displayed.

So much of information security relies on not letting third parties execute arbitrary code on your computer. The price to view "mainstream" websites is increasingly becoming "allow third parties to execute arbitrary code on your computer". I can sandbox that code and perhaps limit the impact to my privacy (though thanks to processor microarchitecture "features" that's increasingly difficult), but I lose virtually all ability to control the presentation experience.

To be blunt: The kind of assholes that delighted in using Javascript to block opening context menus, blocking "Paste" into password fields, etc, have won. That pisses me off. Developers with good intentions who wanted to make something "cool" end up being the architects of the tools that will be used turn the web into cable TV.
I need more upvotes. You nailed all the reasons why after 20+ years I'm trying to move out of tech.

Its marginally better for online shopping than Visa and Mastercard. No address and zipcode and depending on authentication settings significantly less friction to purchase. Its surprising PayPal isn't everywhere.
