This. I used to work in automotive engineering. I marveled at the lack of security around drawings for mechanical components. Ford, GM, and Chrysler all used the same design shops to create blueprints. When I went to get the latest drawings they would be sitting out on a big table in the lobby. The rolled up blueprint on top of the 9"mag tape that contained the CAD files. They were clearly marked with the car's model year and the part name and number. Anyone could grab it off the table. Only later in my career did I understand that the drawing for a component, while necessary, was more of a record, not an actual representation of the final component. The final part was a product of a tool that had been crafted to produce it. Die barbers had polished a stamping tool to get a wrinkle out. Someone in manufacturing had changed the melt time for a casting. The slump temperature for a windshield glass had been adjusted. A spray pattern for body paint was manually plugged into a robot arm and adjusted until the desired results were obtained.
Ask HN: Books like Statistics by Freedman et al.
I am loving the Statistics book by Freedman, Pisani, Purves. Maybe it is its slow and steady pace, or may be its real-life examples, or may be the cartoons, or may be the numerous well planned exercises with solutions, or may be its requiring no pre-requisites. Or may be it just is a great match for me! Everytime I read it, I want to make sure that I have all other equivalent books. I checked other Ask HN threads and found some that suggested its sequel or the Linear Algebra book. Are there others I don't know about, especially for CS/ML.
In general retail has razor-thin margins.
If I remember well Carrefour and Mercadona were under 2-3%.

If you are a retail operating in Spain both rental and energy are the key factors that might take you out of business.

Just having a way to 'detect' your energy consumption is going to peak and act before it happens is a huge competitive advantage.

For instance, knowing X% your fridges at a location might have a problem and beign able to either cancel/reroute orders in transit is a huge improvement on the P&L.

Twitch really could use some competition, but I thought their self-promotion was a bit dishonest. They tried to portrait themselves as the underdog.

The irony was that there were already versions of Windows Mobile kicking around. Compaq iPAQ, for example. It ran Windows CE and required a stylus. To me, it seems that Apple managed to do to the phone what they'd already done to MP3 players. They weren't the first, and they didn't win the price/features war, but they had uniquely better UX on the device. The key differentiating features seem to me to have been:

- toughened glass screen

- stylus-free interaction due to use of capacitative screen

- multitouch

- real web browser (not WAP)

- (US) escaping the control of carriers; nobody remembers the "iTunes phone" the ROKR. Also indirectly killing carrier's attempts to do nickel-and-dime billing and therefore turning internet into a bulk commodity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/300-page_iPhone_bill

- the marketing achievement of being a fashion device not a tech device (Tesla are explicitly copying this, to their advantage)

(again, I'm not claiming that they were the first to do any of these, but they did all of them well together)

> If they didn‘t have Android they wouldn‘t have any leverage at all in the mobile space.

I disagree. Most iPhone users seem to be Gmail users at least. Google Maps and Waze are far better than Apple Maps.

I think Google itself originally pursued Android hoping for their own exclusive ecosystem and then changed their strategy to just build apps for iOS that are better than Apple's.

I'm asking for simple language, accessible to a broad audience, which allows rules to be written so that most people applying them to a set of example situations would arrive at the same results.

Beyond that, what I'm suggesting is that it could be helpful to gradually make it easier for the public to view, comment on, and search proposed and historic legislative changes.

Collaboration, tracking down bugs and coaching/mentoring in open source software is greatly aided by tools like GitHub; it's worth having concerns about whether such a service itself should be proprietary, but I do think the value it creates is worth looking at.

If something similar could be created for legal texts, I think it's possible that there could be similar benefits. There may be risks, too.

My suggestion isn't that we should devise a software system to implement the rules of the Frankenstein Veto; instead my theory is that the time-to-detect and time-to-recover from a process problem like the Frankenstein Veto would both be shorter in the presence of an open, collaborative, transparent legislative repository.

It sounds like the strategy is working. I wonder how many of the current successes would be possible if it operated the same as any other region of Spain. I'm not sure how far the xenophobic attitude you mention extends but it sounds more like the 'buy local' movement the way you describe it here.

In regards to game theory, the outcomes of this particular game may even be more optimal given that the set of actions is more constrained and the strategies are better known.
Do you need investors?
I completely agree. Traffic culture really seems driven by traffic infrastructure, rules and enforcement than the other way around.

I traveled to Mumbai, India twice in the last year a few months apart. Certain intersections that I traveled through on a daily basis used to have vehicles inching into the intersection well before their lights turned green, which usually caused problems, in the first trip. In the second trip, only a few months later, this had almost completely disappeared. The reason was the installation of I believe cameras, that ticketed cars if they entered the intersection on red, and this created enough of a change that two people visiting a few months apart would have diametrically opposite views of the driving culture of that region of the city.

I remember that chapter of Four Hour Work Week. I just found it again:

"Find Yoda: Call at least one potential superstar mentor per day for three days. E-mail only after attempting a phone call. I recommend calling before 8:30am or after 6pm to reduce run-ins with secretaries and other gatekeepers. Shoot for A players - CEOs, ultrasuccessful entrepreneurs, famous authors etc. Don't aim low to make it less frightening. Use [specific website for finding contact details of celebrities omitted here] if need be. Base your script on the following..."

The thing is, as annoying as that sounds, that chapter was actually really useful to me as an extremely shy guy who was too intimidated to even contact the 'CEO' of a shareware company. I never phoned & only emailed once, but having a template script for how to succinctly ask a question of a busy person I felt intimidated by was very helpful to me then.

Old person here. I was 13 in December 1972 when NASA talked abut a permanent colony on the Moon by 1984. That drove me to graduate college with a BS in aerospace engineering. I attended one of the top three universities for aerospace. In order to study rockets I had to do it via "independent study" because all of the classes had been removed from the curriculum by 1979.

> Spotify managed to make musicians abismimal returns

I think that's very subjective. Spotify pays musicians the equivalent of what a user would actually pay the musician, which is basically nothing. We are to blame. As OP said:

> Our unwillingness to support content creators is what ruins things and puts everything behind an explicit paywall.

That's 100% true with most users. It has to be a very small % of users that will actually go out and purchase music that doesn't exist on Spotify for free/apart of their subscription. At the end of the day, the users just don't want to support content creators. Spotify isn't to blame for that.

There is literally zero application or real world usage for "blockchain" outside of currency. Anybody claiming otherwise is a deceiving you, or being deceived themselves.

There's this thing where there's swathes of people running around calling themselves "blockchain developers", or people wanting a "blockchain engineer", but basically nobody can describe what this actually entails. What happens in reality is that you make a bunch of handwavey statements about how this can be done better with a block chain, make a proof of concept in whatever the most hipster language that looks sort of interesting, but has nothing at all under the hood, and then move on.

For "blockchain" to be applicable, you have to acknowledge that you've no other solution to trust or maintainability than to use the most expensive key value store in-existence, with huge limitations, probabilistic integrity, and immense developmental and operational cost. When you hear of some large company replacing all of their infrastructure for tracking packages or whatever with "the blockchain", you should interpret this as an admission that they can't run a copy of postgresql safety and are looking for a hyped up brogrammer to make something flashy sounding instead.
When the 5th line mentions "democratic party cartel" I switch off author is the sort of person that gave us the disastrous magic grandpa ak Jeremy Corbin.
I do not know the validity of the source, but can anyone else confirm or reject the claim of the rising demand for blockchain developers.

I looked a lot into the technology a year or two ago, but never really got around to applying the knowledge. It has since been my personal opinion that the demand seemed to vane and the number of actual useful implementations diminish as well?

Mad max cyclists exist in the US because for decades the US has promoted vehicular cycling, and built infrastructure accordingly. It was basically the concept that cycles should be treated on par with cars, share the same roads, commute at similar speeds, etc. As a result, the majority of American cyclists are people who are more risk taking, want to bike fast on super lightweight racing bicycles, and have built an aggressive cycling culture thanks to the fact that they’ve been trained to bike with cars.

Most European cities advocated a different approach, where bikes had their own infrastructure built out that meant European cyclists ride slow “Euro” style bikes with baskets, usually don’t go very fast, etc.

Further, good infrastructure means that bicyclists never have to interact with pedestrians other than in well controlled areas with proper signals etc that make clear when the cyclists should be moving and when the pedestrians.

Having said that, without a cable you're not going to get a decent throughput on the upper floors. Don't bother with WiFi repeaters as they'll extend the range at the cost of bandwidth.
The American one is much more extravagant/different from printed letters:

In this sense it is more similar to the older German Sütterlin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%BCtterlin or Spencerian script.

Looks pretty, but very, very hard to read if you are not used to it. The German one switched to a much more simple "Ausgangsschrift" after 1941 https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ausgangsschrift#Ausgangsschrif...

My impression in the US was that there you are taught cursive in school, hate it and then never use it again.
Am I wrong to say about time the government does something about this problem? Or could it be that the media has convinced me that Chinese theft of American IP is a big deal when it really isn't?

The truth about cycling in Netherlands is that these complaints usually come from tourists (you won’t see them from the Dutch for the simple reason that most Dutch pedestrians are cyclists themselves).

Tourists who are simply not used to a system where cyclists get equal importance as cars.

Of course, since cyclists are humans, I’m sure there are some assholes, and there are probably cases where non assholes also make mistakes.

The difference, as the numbers clearly show, is that in cities where the biggest fear is mad max cyclists, the number of deaths are hundreds fewer than where car driving is the norm.

I’ve been on a plane that did this before, only our jet stream current was a bit slower and thus our ground speed was hovering right around 800mph for most of the duration.

The turbulence was rough going in and out of the jet stream, but while “in it”, it was about like any other normal flight.

We ended up shaving over an hour off the flight time (SFO - LHR, might’ve been 90min in fact), but alas, due to the “law of early flights”, we then wasted a lot of that time penalty boxed waiting for an open gate.
The other piece is that the negotiating supply of podcasts is less concentrated than that of music. With music, if you want to reduce licensing fees, you have to negotiate with a label, who could meaningfully undermine your product by pulling all their artists.

Podcasts are closer to YouTube... few podcasters have have scale to demand terms, having one walk away over terms is less of a problem because you don't playlist podcasts in the way you do music, lots of podcasters in it for love of the game or starting out hoping to hit it big (and willing to forgo ad revenue for audience).

Furthermore, balance sheet inequality is beyond severe in many countries yet there are people in various economic strata who seem to blissfully revel in denying the real pain of others; "Upton Sinclair effect" (paraphrasing: It's difficult to get someone to accept facts when they benefit from pretending they doesn't exist.).

Hi, I'm a big fan of distributism and co-ops, and I'm also a Catholic. But I have to quibble with you.

Distributism is not Catholic doctrine. It's a third-way economic system that is compatible with Catholic social teaching, and several influential Catholic figures, such as G.K. Chesterton, helped promulgate it. But you don't have to be Catholic to be a distributist, and you can be a Catholic without being a distributist.
> to show that, no, I do have a factual basis.

30 years ago is pretty much the lowest point on that graph. Real wage growth shrank between the 70s and 90s, but it has most certainly been climbing for the last 30 years. I really don’t know how charitable you’re expecting me to be with interpreting what you’re saying. When you say something that’s simply outright wrong, am I supposed to just guess that you meant to say something else that could kinda almost be seen as only a little bit wrong?

> This is such an obvious troll and a clear demonstration of your misunderstanding

It’s really not at all. How about you show some of that charity you’ve been talking about? Your problem stems from wages being determined by supply and demand. Well, there’s countries in the world today that have implemented the economic systems you’re advocating for. If you can’t think of a single one you’d even consider living in (aside from as say, an upper class foreigner), then what does that tell you about your ideas? I’m calling this out as an opportunity for you to put some more thought into your ideas, instead of jumping to the conclusion that people who challenge them are personally attacking you.
