As frequently as I've seen BBQ sauce in glass containers, for instance, 1 starred as shattered on delivery, I am too. To be fair, these items should not have been placed within FBA in the first place, according to "policy". Inbound employees are supposed to filter products for policy violations (specifically in this instance liquid in glass containers over 4ozs). Not the employees fault..?, they are overwhelmed.

Just 1 of many examples we run into as a fulfillment service.

Apparently you cannot remove an insider win10 build WITHOUT REINSTALLING.

You can go to the previous install you had quite painlessly. It's in 'recovery options'. You don't need to set a restore point, it just works.

Ask HN: Should I use version control or blockchain?
I am building an app marketplace where apps can be published by anyone and can be modified/republished by anyone. Initially, I was thinking of using a version control for this. But, I am wondering if I can use blockchain for this, since it might have monetization builtin.

Whats your advice? What are the pros/cons of using VCS vs blockchain that I should know as a blockchain newbie?
I’ve compared them a few times. They rarely differ in more than a couple ingredients. Even so CVS for example sells what as far as I can tell is identical, generic cough syrup in a green or orange box depending if you prefer Delsym or Robitussin.
i hold on to it, albeit the intensity varies. if i meditate, it comes back in varying degrees.

if i watch tv, binge or get stressed at work, i become what i call "ego focused", and can't feel that connection.

it takes contemplation sometimes - writing about it put me back there.

the visuals and the actual slowing down of time .. yeah that requires the drugs, although on one meditation retreat i did experience something similar, but much less intense.

if anything, i gained more trust of my internal reality. i downright choose to see what i experience as truth. why must a hallucination not be true? it's been part of human experience since we can remember.

as long as it doesn't turn into some odd horror show.. i find that these "hallucinations" are actually some form of deep communication with something significant inside us, and it's a crime to shun it away as less real than our day to day lives, which are mostly ego projections replaying childhood traumas, not really authentic either, yet we call those real life.

edit; also man, try a goenka vipassana - a single hardcore meditation retreat will help you gain more trust in yourself and more trust in the process of life.

When I go on youtube, my front page is full of the normiest things of my country. Makes me think... either I'm really good at blocking, or they don't care enough to actually try harder to track me. Or they do actually track me hard enough and they are pretending not to by showing me normie stuff, which gives me false hope about how good I am at hiding my tracks. How far does the rabbit hole go??
It's survivorship bias - you never hear about prople who ignore limits or don't know them and fail. Some limits earn you trouble or penalty by law when broken, so you might get to know them in a less pleasant context.

I agree with your take on this. Facebook has done considerable work with their Detectron / Dense Pose projects which can UV unwrap human bodies using AI. (https://github.com/facebookresearch/DensePose) Another is the smpl / smplify-x project (https://github.com/vchoutas/smplify-x)

Further, by utilizing generated (synthetic) data with 3d scanned human models, or generating your own with something like makehuman or daz3D, you should be able to find a way to UV unwrap a distorted sphere. I've had a lot of success with generating synthetic data like this with Blender 3D and training various neural networks (Mask RCNN / Deeplab for example) with various combinations of this synthetic and real datasets.

Even in San Francisco walking across busy intersections I get significant enough interference that audio is dropped for 2-3 seconds.

Also is it just me or does the article just talk about how great AirPods are and how Apple really set it apart from competition this time and killed that silent launch but never really even tries to support or justify this opinion?
I was just asking this to myself today when browsing safety-razor blades on Amazon. (I was not able to buy them directly from the manufacturer’s website.) When I tried to start filtering by who sells it, I just got a bunch of names that meant nothing. I eventually bought them on Walmart’s site because, I guess I trust it more? Some of the comments on Amazon had the dreaded “this has changed recently,” and the last thing I want to do is scrape my face with counterfeit razor blades.

I have added a comment below my post to include information on my skill set. I really like the algorithmic side of programming/problem sloving in software development so working in AI would have been an option but I heard there's a lot of gate keeping in AI so I hesitated looking for opportunities in that arena, hopefully that's hearsay so I have gone ahead and sent you an email. Thank you!
I was recently transitionally homeless for about 3-4 months. Over that period I slept on over 20 couches, floors, and beds. The closest I got to sleeping on the street were 2 times when I had no where to sleep after 4 pm and no one to reach out to. There was one other time when I got locked out of a sort of half way house. Anyways I went to an elite college and couldn’t afford to continue after both my parents went bankrupt and divorced, my mom had a mental breakdown and suffered psychosis while we ate from the food bank.

Long story short, your circumstance right now doesn’t define your future at all, you have to be relentless in your effort to get out of your position right now. I developed a portfolio of two websites and a highly complex mobile app that I launched with a full scale backend, it included redis , sockets , MySQL , and ELB AWS.

I’m not in a position to give a job but I can encourage you and be a reminder that it is possible. My advice is to never look back, be relentless in portfolio building and applying to jobs. These days I have a full time mobile development job, working on my second app, and have enough savings to pay to continue my school + my current company is encouraging me and helping me finish my degree.

Do let me know if u have any questions or anything specific you need advice on

FPGAs with large fabric are expensive because they're more useful than smaller FPGAs and because the number of viable chips that come from the fabrication process is smaller, meaning they are literally more rare and harder to make successfully. The most expensive FPGA devices can cost more than USD$30,000 per device (per chip.)
If you have a tight deadline, I would suggest going with what you know i.e. version control. You can launch it first, get traction and then change it later to blockchain.

Oh please, they sold us on a fake problem and then the cure by removing ports. That's not innovation. That's not a platform.

iPhones could all have usb ports and audio jacks and removable storage. Nothing is preventing any of that. Stop pretending Apple is moving the ball forward here.
I hear you (ha!), but they do have wired earbuds bundled with every iPhone. Or do you mean switching between wired and wireless for the same set?

I have the same problem and I use wired earbuds for a walk through the busy streets.
“Bad code” is entirely subjective based on unclear standards. We had one engineer bitch about some solution that wasn’t “elegant” enough for him and he proceeded to waste 2 days “fixing” it.
> “Another example involves utilizing AirPods to deliver different sound experiences to different people despite being in the same location and looking at the same thing. As an example, a single presentation shown in a school or office setting can end up delivering a dozen different experiences to those in attendance.“

Flying planes, well .. I hope I'll find some good written tutorials on HN
Unfortunately, wireless headphones will never take off until they either permanently fix Bluetooth, or replace it with a better protocol that doesn't drop signal from my pocket to my head.

Seriously, get your shit together, guys. And no, AirPods aren't magically immune, in fact, their bifurcated nature makes it worse.

Edit: For those asking/stating "they already took off", not really. Most people do not own headphones, do not want headphones, and most people keep owning or keep buying wired headphones; even if the numbers say more wireless sold, it isn't backwards facing enough, and doesn't include all the wired pairs people already own, it also doesn't include ones included in the box.

The two largest complaints I always hear is either the device connectivity is garbage, the device audio quality is garbage, or the comfort is fucking horrible compared to similarly priced wired earbuds and IEMs.

Too many corners are cut to make these things work, and most consumers just aren't happy. So, they didn't take off if most people hate them, you have to have one hell of a RDF-boner for that industry to argue otherwise.

Also, /r/headphones says hi.
That sales chart is misleading, should then account for inflation airpods will be way below the iphone

WebGPU to WebGL is like Metal/Vulkan to OpenGL.
Looked at the history of AboveAvalon, seems like a site that tries to justify everything Apple does and how great they are.

Speaking of AirPods, their sound quality isn't all that great. I ended up getting the Galaxy Buds which were cheaper and sounded better.
I don't know if I necessarily agree the line of thinking that Airpod users will buy more than one pair, but the potential to push Airpod Pro's syncing capabilities to other rooms is interesting.

A fun example would be to use Airpod Pros as walkie talkies with other Pro users in the same house or area.

Definitely would interested in tinkering with any Dev kit came out for building Airpod apps.
It's not about the Battle Royale genre itself.

>As for building in multiplayer you've got years of work before, putting aside Minecraft, you've got 7 Days to Die, Rust, Arc Survival:Evolved.

7 Days to Die is graphically nowhere near what Fortnite is. Rust had its official release in the same year as Fortnite and ARK was literally made with UE4. That is, the technology Epic used to build Fortnite was used by ARK.

>The article is total dross, Epic took an existing genre and slapped Valve's already proven monetization strategy on it. Other companies were already copying Valve before Epic. Both DOTA + TF2 have been free and make money from hats for over a decade!

You're completely overlooking the part where Valve's initial idea for those games was to push Steam. That way even if the monetization strategy wasn't great it would pay off. Fortnite did not have such a plan initially (at least not that we know of). Valve also wasn't anywhere near first at making their games F2P and monetizing them with microtransactions. F2P games with microtransactions have been a part of Korean MMOs since the early 2000s. There were even private servers of other MMOs that essentially monetized in such a way.

You're not wrong that the battle-royale part of Fortnite was a second attempt at popularizing the game, but the tech to make Fortnite pushed UE4 forward quite a bit. Things like Distance Field Ambient Occlusion were things that might not have made it into the engine without Fortnite.
One of them is the web/system app that powers an Alexa top 10 site. Keep trying. ;)

What’s complicated about the entry-level kinematics equations that you can solve by hand with algebra and learn as a high school student?
not sure why you got downvoted, maybe because you didn't expand on his use of the word delusion. i actually think you're right in pointing that out -

i just wanted to comment on it too, that i wouldn't call it a delusion, and rather an exposition. even carl jung calls our intermediate awareness of the specific I experience as the ego conscienceness.

in that same breadth, the initial state isn't itself complete either, which is why jung talks about unification of self and ego into the transcendent self, which is niether driven by instinct (initial self) - or sensation (ego), but rather grace (holy direction of what's "right", or zen nature), which to my understanding is instinct applied to the larger self as the collective).

that kind of literature is pretty heavy, and interesting to read. tricky too, from a moral perspective.

it's a shame that we think that stuff we experience on drugs isn't real, just because we stop thinking about it once the "drugs" wear off.
Not what the op was talking about. Those have been operating for some time. They will also use HUT bed rest to simulate Martian gravity on earth and Martian gravity in ice in ISS. Intermittent rotation tests will start in maybe year or two with rats.

Validation testing with humans must be achieved somehow.
Even when I let youtube track me, I find that they often like to recommend "normiest" things despite nothing in my view history suggesting I'm into the things they're advertising. Particularly I mean clips from late night TV shows, ads for super hero movies, that sort of thing. Very mainstream corporate content. They know I don't watch that kind of stuff but they keep on trying.

I don't really get it. I don't think their recommender is that broken, so it seems to me like they're deliberately injecting those recommendations contrary to their expectations of what I like. I suspect those videos represent the content youtube wants me to watch, rather than the content they think I want to watch. Probably those videos are more profitable for youtube.
So you mean, it should work? Not sure I'd agree with that being a distinction among great programmers as much as a minimum bar of entry to call yourself one.
So, at least according to TFA, the original coroner's report was perhaps hasty, and there's some evidence that contradicts it, including there being no physical evidence of an avalanche having occurred, and the tracks appeared to be those of an orderly evacuation and not a panic.

The new, apparently preferred, official theory that the article outlines seems even less extraordinary than the avalanche one: Tent in a stupid spot disturbs some snow and causes it to slide. Things then proceed along somewhat similar lines, but in a much more orderly manner, with the tragedy being exacerbated more by extreme weather than by extreme panic.

The Pro Airpods simply don’t fit my ears. The left one could be made to fit with some determined wiggling, but the right one would never make a seal, and the phone would complain that the seal was bad. I returned them.

I can’t imagine that I am that unique. It’s especially odd, as I own the first generation “regular” airpods, and they fit just fine.
Never happened to me in the last 2 years. What are you on about?
I don't see what is unique about airpods that an androids supplier couldn't replicate in terms of the platform stuff.

Also I expect the growing trend of disconnecting from technology will hit immersive technology forms like audio particularly hard.
I think the vast majority of people on the airpods to airpods pro path are on because like most people they hate the apple hard plastic headphones.

The reason that the people that have both pairs they polled is because the people in their family/friend group that they would give them to don't have airpods specifically because they hate the hard plastic.

It is very interesting that they still look quite stupid when you see people wear them but it is enough of a different type of stupid than google glass that people won't laugh at you out loud in public.
Great recommendation - I’ve definitely enjoyed seeing their posts pop up over the years!
If you're looking for potential alternatives to REST and GraphQL, I suggest checking out how Fulcro [1] works together with Pathom [2] using EQL [3].

It's a data-driven full-stack application programming system centered around graph-based UI and data management implemented in Clojure [4].

While React lets you be declarative about your UI, Fulcro lets you be declarative about your entire system - both backend and frontend.

Here the funerals are quick. If someone dies, there is a small party [1] for 50-100 people the same day or the next one. People don't stay to much, so you would have like 30 at a time at most. The next day, the body is carried in a black car to the cemetery. The family and friends go in other cars in a small line.

So there is no much time for a fundraiser. Also the health insurance or the work union may cover part of the cost.

The cost is about US$300, so the £20 per donation is at least a 10% of the total, so it's too high for us. (The cost vary if you want a nice wood coffin, how many flower, how many people expect to go, ...)

Don't worry too much about the photo. I'm not offended or something. It is just slightly odd.

[1] I'm not sure about the correct word here, "funeral"?
i honestly just wanted to. i figured with a drug like LSD, i would get only one true first time.

by temperament, im a risk taker and generally intense, so it makes sense that i would think and do it like that.

maybe it helped that i looked up LSD toxicity, and didn't think 1500micrograms would kill me or make me go insane, though the latter was a very generous wager.
Interestingly I get the same in NYC. Asked a friend who gave me a detailed explanation which I have almost entirely forget right now... but something to do with car detection. If you happen to cross in the middle of the street you won’t notice the same drop effect.
Wires get tangled. To switch from your iPhone to Mac, you unplug the wire and plug it in again. Then there is the question of having to remain within wires length of the machine. AirPods actually made wireless headphones usable and dead simple.
Ruining access to a 0day sounds like a good thing to me. I don't want people to have access to 0days.

Some people dislike the term "responsible disclosure" and believe it's not a moral imperative:

https://hn.algolia.com/?query=author:tptacek%20responsible%2...

Of course what Ibrahim did wasn't full disclosure either, so he shouldn't be fully congratulated. But bragging about it was better than keeping silent about it in this case.
Didn’t they already take off? I see everybody wearing AirPods.
It’s awesome. Definitely going to be using this a lot once the break is over. Thank you!
Wireless headphones have sold more units than wired headphones since 2016. What is your metric for "taking off"?
eMMC is just another name for soldered on flash storage. Its no different than a SSD.
Arguably, yes. As covered in Stephenson's Dodge. Students are fully anonymized, in meatspace as well as in data. So there's no possibility that anything except performance affects assessment.
Did it still happen with the different sizes of ear tips? That sounds very odd.
Apparently not, since you're still seeing ads on Youtube. Which adblocker are you even using that doesn't block those?
