So Amazon is concerned about shipping but not counterfeit goods? This isn't about customers and expectations. It's about Amazon's bottomline. It's a great way to get ppl who already have their wallets open to add Prime.
Is there any way to connect multiple devices to a single label? I've tried things like Tile so my wife can find her car keys, but if the tile is tied to a device that isn't there, we are out of luck. If I tied to my phone, and I'm not home, she can't do anything. If we tied to her phone and she has lost this and her keys, we are out of luck.
That was my experience as well. I've switched to Insight Timer.

Ask HN: Why hasn't the OSS community replaced Facebook?
The problems with Facebook (+Insta) are too many and too obvious to state; even the company's internal priority is to "Fix Facebook."

Given the tremendous amount of time and energy sunk into projects like Kubernetes, and the potential benefit to society of a better social network, why haven't we seen this emerge?
You will be amazed to learn of the existence of General Motors, General Dynamics (and General Atomics) and General Mills, then, all of which are unrelated to GE.
Having a Home by a Star Architect Is Amazing, Until You Try to Sell It
While I haven’t seen Amazon day in the wild, I have to marvel at their marketing folks who have captured mindshare by coopting what used to be (and still is in my house) grocery day - when we do our weekly shopping - into Amazon day.

To me, it’s these little moves which capture an inch of mindshare at a time that really bring home the power of marketing.
> Someone posts a video of Doom. I claim that they infringe my copyright on Doom. Invalid claim. Perjury penalty! I don't own any copyright to Doom!

Nor is this necessarily perjury. The actual statement you make under penalty of perjury is "that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed." If you believe the statement that you own the copyright on Doom to be true, then it is not perjury, even if you do not actually own it. A case where this would matter a great deal would be the Happy Birthday song--Warner/Chappell believed they owned a copyright that they did not, and thus they could send DMCA takedown notices for people singing that song without fear of perjury (at least, until the courts ruled that they did not own the copyright).
How can there be a counterpoint to a scientific measurement? It either is or isn’t more acidic.
I'm curious why this is reported as a SyntaxError. This doesn't seem like a syntactical problem to me, but a semantical one.

Enforcing laws against the homeless is not the done thing in Seattle. The problem is not thinking of ways to detect their law breaking, but rather that the city chooses compassion over order and consequently ignores their lawlessness instead of enforcing the law.

If you do come to Seattle, you'll find the streets teeming with the homeless who are completely undisturbed by the police. Just walking around the city, and trying to avoid the homeless, I've witnessed multiple instances of homeless shoplifting, hard drug use (injecting themselves, crack pipe, etc), bodily functions on the street, threatening behavior (homeless people simply screaming invective and threats at passersby), to say nothing of people camped in sleeping bags on sidewalks and tents.

You can absolutely get on buses without paying. Simply ignoring the driver and walking by is all that's required. The police will not be notified, nor would they respond if they were, nor would their response be effective deterrence if they did.
That's good to hear. I've been on the hunt for a replacement for create-react-app -- in my experience it's problematic in an enterprise environment. I love Webpack but I don't want to recommend it to junior developers. I'm hoping Parcel is a better candidate.
I like this idea! I think they do them on slack though...but maybe I could read a few days worth to get a feel?
That sounds benign on the face of it, but one wonders how high pressure sales the sermon is. I like the Sikh approach in providing meals at every Gurdwara. A free meal is available to anyone of any wealth, race, or religion with the only conditions that you eat with everyone else, remove your shoes and cover your hair.

No sermon, no lecture, just unconditional -- and very good -- food as part of a deeply held sense of community. They have leapt to help in disasters, kept going through riots a few years back, and keep sticking to those principles as numbers keep rising. Rising because the UK government created a need for food banks out of nowhere over ten years, and more and more now need free food... I keep hearing of quiet Sikh efforts across the country as our government deconstructs the benefits system and safety net.

I'm life-long atheist, but I feel much warmer toward our Sikh communities than the UK's formerly christian heritage - where charity so often seems to come with a catch, or a sales pitch, or worse is conspicuously absent. The Sikh sense of community feels far stronger, and more of a true belief as a result.

I think it's to start treating addiction as a mental health issue and reopen facilities dedicated to treating more serious mental disorders - in a lot of places mental institutions were closed because of perceived (sometimes quite real) mistreatment but they were never replaced, society just moved on - so now you've got a mix of folks on the street, addicts, inherently mentally disabled and the jobless.

Jobless homeless are easy to solve and is generally a transient condition, it's extremely dangerous period of their lives but most people will recover in a small number of years with the right support structures - the mentally disabled without support structures are a permanent problem and we just need to provide funding for permanent support workers for them - lastly, addicts are heavily ostracized but their condition is potentially recoverable - still, addiction treatment is a multi-year or decade process and addicts need solid support structures including a stable living situation to dig their way out.

So more beds won't help, the funding going into care is pathetic and it has constant exponential costs on society - more drug users on the streets today means even more tomorrow as more people fall into that cycle. I think legalization of the softer drugs would help, we've done it with MJ up here in Canada and we have yet to devolve into a lawless anarchy, but I really don't know about things like heroin or meth.
In English getting the exceptions wrong ("I washed, I jumped, I readed, I runned, I eated, I writed") makes you sound like a child or an idiot (Ralf Wiggum from the Simpsons). In Esperanto, ending a word in "-e" makes it an adverb which means you can stick it on any root word to force adverbness. In English "-ly" makes something an adverb, except when it doesn't; "brolly" which is a noun, "fly" which is a noun, a verb, maybe an adjective, maybe sometimes an adverb ("fly-tipping"?), or "scaly" which is an adjective and doesn't become "scalyly" to make it an adverb. They aren't "for free" in English because you can't trust the pattern.

but it's implausible it helps so much that you get "faster French acquisition after first learning Esperanto than learning French the whole time"

I'm not convinced that it's true, but it surely is plausible; the other side of "can't trust the pattern" is that you can't easily see the pattern. Learning arithmetic then calculus seems better than trying to learn both at the same time; learning an instrument first then playing in an orchestra would be better than trying to join an orchestra and play with them while learning to play an instrument at all. People recommend beginners start with Python rather than 3D engine development in C++, or work on a model of an engine before they take a helicopter apart, right? Why not "learn European grammar rules in simple patterns" then "use that knowledge to climb faster through native languages which aren't so simple where the patterns are less clear"?
I’m excited for Vapor 4! Also love all the Vapor Red stuff.
We're flattered honestly. While some of this is stretching what we've done e.g. we didn't write a full BLE stack just the tiny amount we needed and it certainly didn't take years! Know we (and especially Brian) are humbled by your words.

To us this is what Manufacturing 4.0 is all about, simplifying a product to make something cheaper and better than standard supply chains can.
it's also not ideal for government to make those sorts of bets, because they is no reasonable incentive structure for the government to 1) find the talent to make correct bets about those sorts of things and 2) to be accountable in case the person making those bets is just an garden variety idiot, or, worse, taking the government for a ride.

Perhaps not legal precedent, but many people may feel more comfortable pushing for right to repair if they see "down to earth" farmers calling for it. The ideal is much closer to entering the mainstream now that people other than technophiles are calling for change.

A large portion of routes are low demand and have few passengers. Does an empty bus reduce congestion?

I'm not sure what percentage of routes are like this, but I assume it's non-trivial because predicting demand is a tough problem.
This is an interesting take on jobs, similar to what Ancient Romans had –– they preferred to not automate certain jobs to ensure that slaves would have things to work on :)

I never said anything about putting them in rougher neighborhoods. You're projecting.

There are plenty of places in the US where you're less likely to meet costly legal resistance where people can get rehabilitation, returning to normal life and seeking mental health treatment.

Furthermore, even those services, such as rehabilitation and mental health treatment should be moved to lower cost of living markets where each dollar goes much further than in San Francisco. The salary of a social worker in SF is approximately 30% higher than some place like Dallas, TX.

Seconded. I've been cutting my own hair for like 4 years and at this point get _much_ better haircuts then I was getting at barbers. I started by watching some youtube videos but now just do it. It's really not that hard. I started not to save money but because $20 haircuts were really bad half the time or more it seemed.

Disclaimer: There were a few accidents early on that left me looking like a Marine boot-camp recruit for a few weeks. But over time I got it down.

This haircut robot is cool though. I'd certainly try it out at least once.
If reporting is to believed, Amazon puts a lot of pressure on delivery partners which contributes to the problem, and is happy to partner with companies that are poorly run and incredibly risky.

Curiosly, which chromebook? You can install linux on some chromebooks.
It seems frankly ludicrous to claim Apple pulled an iPod simulator for iPhone because they want you to buy physical iPods, especially given that they don't sell physical iPods anymore.

The app seems tailor-made to reproduce Apple's intellectual property (i.e. designs), and it also charged a fee for Apple Music features.

Even the Verge post from last week said

> It’s a clever workaround as long as Apple doesn’t pull the app

If you're using workarounds to avoid Apple rejecting your app, you shouldn't be surprised when Apple ends up pulling your app.
I wouldn't say they are a seperate language, but they definitely feel like a seperate layer. They're not first class objects like functions (so you can't pass them to functions) and you can't evaluate the arguments (since macros are only directly present during compilation/interpretation), it's purely a mapping from source code to source code.
For example, you can't rewrite a list based on it's values or form. You can rewrite the list to a program that does the transformation when run, but the seperation feels very tangible to me. Something like FEXPRs would be closer to being "just the same as normal code", but there's good reason why macros are the way they are.

This is designed for teams from the get go. There is no connecting and everyone can find everything and every smartphone is a listener.

It's not designed as a product for B2C though really. There is no buzzer for the last 10 meter discovery. If that's not an issue then by all means. But we are fully focussed on the B2B use case.
Can you explain why drivers seem to lie about attempting deliveries?

Nearly 100% of the time I get something that's supposed to be delivered by FedEx that needs a signature, I stay home all day until eventually getting a notification that the delivery was attempted and no one was home. The doorbell never rings and there's no slip on the door.

FedEx support tells me the driver scanned the slip so they don't know what happened.

This happens over and over again until I raise enough hell so they force the driver to come back to my house.
The article mentions that Amazon is also on pace to be rivaling FedEx and UPS in total volume as well. It's interesting that Bezos' estimate of 5% of retail equals this much volume of packages.
I've been a teacher for 15 years in public, private schools - and as a tutor to about 2000+ kids in 3 countries - and am now starting to think about ways to develop a new education model with a more flexible school schedule that would allow for more family time and greater parent participation in learning. I'd love to connect with parents who might be interested in this idea to discuss their hopes and dreams for their child's education (especially in San Francisco).

Is anyone surprised by this? If you can afford one of these houses you have enough money to build exactly what you want instead.
What a bizarre claim, of course the US can legislate how China manufactures and ships it's products in or out of the nation. There are all sorts of US Customs regulations for all sorts of products moving across our borders. From interception of counterfeit goods, to illegal substances there are a lot of activities for regulation of products.

Wether we have the will to impose such conditions for recycling improvements is questionable though.

Pretty clear signal that there's low appetite for full stack development in Swift.

What are other promising future "end-to-end" (i.e. Web / Server / Mobile) development platforms are there? IMO these are the main contenders:

- JS / node.js / React Native (Android/iOS) (+ other transpile 2 JS langs, e.g. TypeScript, Clojure, Scala, OCaml, etc)
- Kotlin to JavaScript / JVM / Android / Kotlin Native (iOS)
- C# Blazor / ASP .NET Core / Xamarin (Android/iOS)
- Dart JS / Dart VM / Flutter (Android/iOS)

Rust/Go/C++ could get some mentions, but I don't think they have enough community or commercial backing to become a popular mainstream option.

> The main threat to QE is inflation, which is hovering around 2%

If I lent money at 6% interest from 2007 to today, I would have performed about the same as the capital gains from owning an equivalent amount of everyone's Favourite Shiny Rock, gold. Not including the recent price jump from QE4.

Owning a rock should not be generating a real return. In reality, it probably isn't. Real inflation is likely different from consumer price inflation.

It isn't perfect evidence, but gold is basically as pure an asset as we can get and it lines up with what should be happening if the government is printing money with its ears pinned back. No practical uses, easy to store, rare enough to be valuable. Anyone who is interested in saving for their retirement would be unwise to treat CPI as inflation in their calculations.
Living in Germany - €12 already includes the tip for me.

Women's cuts, though... this may be the first time I would apply the word "disruptive" when this allows their prices to get on par with men's cuts.
Honestly, I don't know why Boeing has this image of being such a vital cog in America - America isn't wholly dependent on Boeing and if it was that'd be a generally terrible thing anyways.

Also, who cares about the Dow plunging if it's for such a clear and explicable reason - it's usually used by politicians to gauge mysterious impacts on the economy, when you know the cog that broke to cause the numbers to swivel it's a pretty useless metric - you already know the thing.

It's sort of like not wanting to go into maintenance mode to deploy a big infrastructure patch because being forced into maintenance mode is bad - yea, it is, and if you can avoid taking servers offline go ahead and do that - but if you can't then just eat the outage as it's probably better to upgrade things than to refuse to upgrade due to the fact that it will expose the fact that you had to upgrade.

These things take time. A lot of people at Apple are heavily invested in Swift on the server, including the Swift core team: https://swift.org/server/

Swift itself still needs time to mature, too. Things like the memory model, async/await, generics, etc. The future is bright, it will just require some patience to get there.

There are several OSS social networks. I think part of the problem is that to "replace Facebook" it would have to be as addictive or worse then Facebook, defeating the purpose of replacing it.

Not just schedule but design, training (SWA incentives)
And... it's so much worse for customers than the old system.

Every package I order used to get here in 2 days. Now they can't get it right, and every time I make an order I get an email saying, "Oh, we're sorry it's delayed a day or two!" So Prime is now taking 3-4 days on average to get to me. I'm in the suburbs, sure... but the point remains, the old system worked better. I wouldn't even care if it took 3-4 days, if it just advertised it was going to take 3-4 days... it's crap for them to say, "Be there on the 12th!" and not get here until the 16th.

And yeah, I mean... to the original point, these guys look stressed. They're not "professional" delivery guys, half the time it's some guy without a uniform in a a minivan. Looks like just a sub-sub-sub-contractor.

So what's the solution? Do I stop using Amazon? Pretty hard this day and age. I don't know, but it's sure been bad service the last 5-6 months.
I particularly love hacks like this. Use the system against itself. Open source exemplifies this, but this is yet another example of the technique.
I used to feel that way — and in some situations I still do, like for a short script that I think won’t change much over time. But for a lot of situations I realized that I had so many things to keep track of myself. If there was an easy way for me to be looking back over my shoulder less, like with static typing, I was all for it.

Static typing lets me front-load the effort of making sure many different buggy cases won’t happen. The alternative is for me to think really hard proving to myself that those cases won’t happen each time I come back to the code in the future to add a feature or make a change.
That's already taken by "textured vegetable protein".
Interesting comparison. I guess the difference is that the supply chain of Boeing is mostly in the US, whereas for Apple it's mostly overseas.
