There is really no other way to improve supply chain efficiency in real time than to bring everything as JIT as possible. Inventory turnover is an entirely different concept. It is dependent on the industry. Hand sanitizers and such have a very high turnover already (they're what the marketing students call fast moving consumer goods). It's true that they squeezed a shit ton of slack from it over the past few decades, but demand for these products has always been high and markets have consistently kept opening up everywhere to meet it.

So you can have JIT implemented in a slow turnover industry - imagine ferrari having a JIT assembly line that gives you your vehicle in less than a day after you place your order - but it doesn't make economic sense.

That said, introducing slack into the industry is not useful. What you need is increase in inventory stockpiling. And as any good financial analyst would tell you, an increasing stockpile number either implies a big future order coming through or that your product isn't selling. With consumer staples companies (the GICS sector term for companies that manufacture fmcg products like toothpaste and hand sanitisers), there is hardly a new market opening or some giant ass retailer coming out of nowhere to place large orders. So stockpiling almost certainly means slowing sales.
Not what you were looking for, but I would be conscripted into the military if I quit this job.
A large part of the article’s argument is based on convoys of self-driving trucks where only the first truck is actively driven. The others don’t have drivers or can be sleeping.

So you can mentally add “...when self-driving technology pans out and laws change” to the title.
Yes! It's on our roadmap. Android is easier than Apple due to developer API constraints, but we plan on tackling the mobile problem very soon (in the next 1-2 month).

Offering and offering and offering and offering. There's no way to say "I don't want this", you will get "offered" (meaning: advertised to) all the time when using these apps that previously worked just fine.
You could use Go to generate Terraform configs. I’m using Python to generate CloudFormation and it’s an order of magnitude easier and more maintainable than vanilla CloudFormation, especially for large integrations.

I think you're overselling how much Google cares (or needs to care) about trust.

They dominate search traffic (in the markets/countries they exist for). Businesses don't use AdWords because they "trust" Google. They suffer through using AdWords because it's the only game in town.
It's a dysfunctional company where the developers probably could have solved that if they had good management which left them alone to code.
This is why I love Heroku - it hits this really sweet spot where you can deploy apps to it fairly easily (Docker or their packaging system) and skip huge chunks of that "going to bite you eventually list" of admin tasks.
I've used the same openvz instance with my ultra-cheap VPS providerfor as long as google's "Cloud" platform has effectively existed. It's been extremely solid with almost instant support over IRC. I've paid $5/mo for this the last decade.

Sounds like you just made some bad choices. Big companies are only marginally less likely to disapear services than small companies are to disappear.

That would give publishers a nice incentive to produce automated clicks themselves. There are no great answers to this issue, Google definitely falls short but full transparency is also not the answer.

The amazing thing to me is Google treats almost everyone the same. From a site getting $5 a month to $5,000 to $50,000. About the only difference I've noticed is I sometimes get to have conference calls with people who have the same suggestions. I've provided Google with billions of (legit!) ad impressions over the years and wouldn't even get a phone call before being kicked off.

The term I think is important to mention with your example is “forced mate” wherein the moves force the opponents next move with absolutely no choice except to play the rest of the game down a significant number of points.

The stock market is very divorced from the economy and global events at present. The money faucets have been pumping non stop to stopgap all liquidity shortages within financial trading. As long as you grease the wheels, the market won't collapse.

That said, the coronavirus has also been ignored as a whole until now. AAPL's downward guidance is a big, big fucking deal and is almost certain to cause a short term impact on prices. However, it'll also be transitory much as the rest of the shit is.

There used to be a time when we could hope that browsers would put users first and disable dark patterns like these.

Now, there are so many advertisers that use Tynt and related services to muck with copy/paste that it wouldn't surprise me if the major browsers are incentivized to leave this alone and let users suffer.

If some radio and optical trickery may lead an observer to believe that the device moves in impossible ways, it's valuable.

Remember that we have strategic bombers with a radio signature of a trash can, or whatever. This is seen as normal, and has been publicized for decades. Same with Russian supersonic fighter jets that can stop in the air for a moment.

If we (or "they") have a drone with a visual signature of an inertia-less device (under certain angles, doing a special manoeuvre, etc), this does not mean they are actually inerta-less, but that they can fool the aiming systems.

I think it's probably worse for people in the US, but I am certainly getting sick of news promoting articles that i can't see unless I pay for news+. Quite often the article headlines are bigger than a screen and it doesn't tell you it's apple news+ until you either tap into it or scroll past it. It's cheap, and I expect better from Apple.

I was also thinking about getting a news+ subscription when I buy a new ipad - waiting for a new model to come out - now I'm wondering if I should bother with either.

I don't even mind occasional ads, to show me what i'm missing, but they should be clearly marked as such.
Ah thanks.

I’d add my impression was that the mechanical reliability and price were the key factors.

It would also be important for us to agree on what truly is minor cosmetics versus total negligence or awful design and material quality.

Bit of an unfair comparison there with csp on your website there. You cite the article that most csp policies are ineffective at preventing xss, but xss and data exfilitration are different things, and csp policies that are ineffective at blocking xss are often effective at blocking data exfiltration.
Most people already know this. All estimates made within spreadsheets are based on averages. Nothing left tail is ever considered more than a small probability event. In general, they make 3 different models - bull case, bear case and normal. Even the bear case will just project a negative 2 sigma possibility at most. Nothing too much black swan is accounted for cos it'll just drag down estimates considerably and the rest of the happy-go-lucky market will keep pumping up prices while you sit and stare at your low price target that was achieved weeks ago.
I might have agreed with you, until the US Navy admitted it's encountering aircraft it can't identify, which in some cases have been described as defying our understanding of physics and aerodynamics.

Being able to identify aircraft is a necessary pre-requisite for air defense because without that capability you might shoot down an airliner or ignore an incoming missile.

So either $700 billion a year isn't enough to buy an effective air defense capability or something else is going on.

I love how the headline isn't "SpaceX has more operating satellites in orbit than any other company." or "SpaceX launches 240 satellites in 90 days." it is "SpaceX fails to land the booster stage on their latest flight."

That is pretty amazing to me.
Lets say we have a language where each function can return a string expression of itself. E.g. print.str() = "print". gen_exp() uses this function at least for some of its operation. Once we transpile the resulting expression will no longer run in the target language, even with the inner call to transpile. Maybe there is an easy solution to this issue too, but it seems I can keep coming up with new complications the transpiler will need to account for, thus I can't see how transpilation can be guaranteed in general. We would need a general proof that no counter example is ever possible for some given transpilation scheme to guarantee generality.

And even though very reliable, explosive bolts do fail, sometimes spectacularly. Just a few years ago an Indian PSLV fairing separation failed, yet released the sattelite inside the closed fairing, which did reach orbit. As it could not get out, this was a failed launch & IIRC the failed fairing separation mechanism was pyrotechnic.
Why do you think density isn’t going to reduce prices? Doesn’t density equal more supply in the supply/demand curve?

And when was that? The 2000-2010 era where everything you clicked added a layer to your Internet Explorer addons list? Or the 2010-2014 era where everything required Java and Flash enabled by default, ridden with zero day exploits? Or the 2014-2016 era with cryptominers, trackers and trivial fingerprinting techniques allowed to exist easily? Or the 2016-current era with heavy Javascript applications which train the user to expect some interactivity with every action (and therefore encourage devs to do stuff like in this post)?
This is what I don't get. If I was running a company and the gov't started sniffing around looking to rein me in, I'd be doing it myself.

If you wait until the gov't get involved, it's going to be a much more painful, slow, bureaucratic process and you'll probably end up in a far worse position than if you just self-corrected in the first place.

A good example are drug prices. If drug companies were smart, they'd find a compromise. If they wait for Washington to do, they're really not going to like the solution.
It’s been around for so long a clipboard-jacking-as-a-service company, Tynt (https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/tynt), launched, lived and exited.

If telling people not to do this was going to be enough to solve the problem, we wouldn’t still be talking about it. The browser vendors really need to shut it off once and for all.

This is a little bit of a secondary issue.

Every tool can be misapplied or misused.

If the 'dogs' can provide a scientifically credible means for 'flagging' that's significantly above random chance, but still below the threshold 'beyond a shadow of a doubt' they can absolutely be used.

If a police officer smells the odor of marijuana in the car, or alcohol on the breath, or, for example, sees a crack pipe or 'empty beer' cans - those things are all examples of reasonable suspicion and it's the whole point.

That those powers can be abused is again a secondary issue.

Finally, is the obvious issue that there's very little harm done otherwise, the 'false flags' from either dogs or 'empty beer' cans that result in searching doesn't compromise the individuals or the community at large: a 'blow test' or a 'legal search' results in more accurate presentation of justice, not less.

If you use [The Pure Function Pipeline Data Flow v3.0 with Warehouse/Workshop Model](https://github.com/linpengcheng/PurefunctionPipelineDataflow), although the development speed will be a little slower, thinking will be a little more, but later reading, incremental development and maintenance will be less than ten times.
This doesn't seem to have affected the stock price today, including in after-hours trading. So either it's been gradually priced-in, or...

...is this actually expected to affect Apple once the year is over? Presumably people will just wait a couple months to buy a new phone, and below-average sales now will be matched by a wave of above-average sales afterwards?

The need to upgrade your phone doesn't go away. And wouldn't all cell phone manufacturers be similarly hit these days? So it's not like switching brands away from Apple is more of an option?

Just curious... happy for someone to correct me if I'm making wrong assumptions here.
I learned to code on MK-52. It was fairly cheap and accessible by the time i have got my hands on it.

After programming (and patching) in hex codes, any other programming language seems fairly simple.

And on the back of MK-52 there was a potentiometer you could use to overclock it.

I did not know the trick of re-soildering the BRP jumper though.

Ah, good times.

Consumer pricing is the last to get hit with inflation.

Why do people use CPI instead of labor, housing, or stock prices to gauge inflation?

On a similar note, why would anyone trust the federal reserve's numbers given how the federal reserve has lied in the past?
What's wrong with constant ongoing evolution? Software is the ultimate metaphysical playdough. It can always be changed. Piece by piece. Step by step. Until it becomes something different. It's just... not exciting to do it that way.
The cop has 1000 ways to compromise justice using any and all tools, so this is a secondary issue.

If dogs can indeed sniff out stuff in a manner consistently beyond random, then they are a good first pass tool.

> disable dark patterns like these

Clipboard access isn't guaranteed to be a dark pattern, though. It's an API that the browser supports.

I dislike clipboard access 99% of the time, but it's actually useful in a few UIs (like copying keys in AWS). Should it really be up to the browser to determine that an API is always a dark pattern?

Honestly, most of the worst dark patterns of the web are enabled by regular <div>, <button>, and <img> elements -- which is to say, they're not something the browser can unilaterally decide are "evil".
Programming is just typing fast after all. Don't need to think either. Just need a dark room, a hoodie and the light of green text reflecting on your face.

Oh yeah. That's definitely all it is. Why didn't we figure that out?

That's a very interesting thought. Yes agreed - StickK has a lot of user complaints so we would need to execute much better. A lot of these complaints arise from the fact that StickK literally puts you in a binding contract to pay the money - which may be necessary to enforce their kind of product, but also gets a lot of users angry and confused.
And they have 100-250 employees?!
This is likely door-in-face technique to coerce TSMC into opening an advanced fab in US, something TSMC rejected last month for good reason. TSMC fabs forces US to serve as security guarantor since they're integral to US military supply chains. There's zero chance TSMC is going to stop doing business with China, or those plants would be craters. Everyone knows this. US has other nuclear option like banning Huawei from dollar trading before something as mutually destructive as wiping TSMC off the face of the map.
If there’s only one group running the scheme it works, but if there are many, it becomes very difficult to coordinate and limit repeated demands. Soft of like how oil producers can only keep the price up if everyone joins the cartel. Each member will make more money if they defect.

Bitcoin also uses a DAG (albeit in a trivial sense), so umm?

Skimming through the info on the tangle, concentrating on its dagness seems superficial (is it even one? They talk about merging nodes a lot which sounds like cycles to me EDIT: ignore this aside). Anyways, things like this should have security proofs (or at least arguments) and maybe it does, i havent read enough in depth to know. But if it doesn't i would say the skepticism is very well warranted
HDMI exists because the corporations behind the HDMI group are the ones that make most of the TVs and dvd boxes. So by pushing HDMI they get to use it for free while the competitors have to pay extra and are at a disadvantage. Nvidia and AMD are not on the HDMI group which is why on pro and enthusiast hardware displayport is pushed much more. My current gpu has 3 displayport and 1 hdmi.

On the tv side, the benefits of displayport are less important since most users are not watching 4k 144hz content and hdmi is now capable of playing 4k at 60hz. So hdmi is not only pushed by the corporations but is also the most convenient option the users want since all of their other hardware uses hdmi and it works fine.

Honestly I think GPUs should drop the hdmi port entirely and ship with a displayport to hdmi cable which works fine because displayport gpus also support hdmi and dvi over the dp port.
