> Bezos doesn’t even have $100B, so the premise of your argument is nonsense.

Oh, so that's how you're going to handwave this argument today. Got it, I wouldn't have bothered writing all of that up if I knew you were just going to stick your head in the sand.

Here's what happens when your boy Bezos gets too much power:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-30/amazon-wo...

https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/5dmeka/whole-foods-employ...

There need to be more checks and balances on individuals who possess this much power, or they need not be allowed to attain so much power in the first place. Your technicalities do nothing to fix this problem which affect tens of thousands of workers in this country, who are being forced to expose themselves to a deadly virus (or go hungry) so Bezos can buy another mansion and bang some more models. But I don't care that much, I suppose. If it isn't done democratically it won't be long before heads are rolling.

> -Guaranteed hazard pay in the form of double pay during our scheduled hours.

I too would like to double my pay. :-)

I'm not entirely unsympathetic, but I've worked far more dangerous jobs for a lot less money.

Beyond that, what's up with the writing? "Guaranteed" hazard pay? As opposed to "un-guaranteed"? What does that even mean? Guaranteed by whom? And "during our scheduled hours"? ??

Encrypting the Response only ensures that the SP knows how to decrypt it - not that they are verifying other fields, like the Audience field.

If you use a separate encryption key for each SP, then great - but you could just as easily use a separate signing key, as the article suggests, and far more SPs support this.

Of course, it is still possible the SP does not validate the signature at all, or does so erroneously.
For some products, yes, user shadowing, interviews and testing is enough.

But in the case of VS Code, I agree with the other commenters that you can benefit from both.

VS Code supports many languages, source control systems, workflows, external systems and extensions, and it's used by a very wide spectrum of users and developers. I can see why they believe telemetry is required to better understand how it's used.
We offer a small level of control via the FS.consent API that we have available across platforms (https://developer.fullstory.com/consent), but at this time the app maker is really in control.

I'd love to have us give better controls to end-users -- we're still investigating ways for users to better control things like that on their own devices. The web makes this a bit easier with adchoices (ie: setting cross-domain cookies opting out) and the ability to more easily block domain patterns with browser plugins.

We have an internal team that is dedicated purely to privacy innovation and I'll bring this up with them.

> Either they acquire a company for their tech, for their people who work there (talent), for their data or finally, just to be able to kill their company/product.

To make the list more complete I've seen large tech companies acquire another tech company for their users and/or their brand. Think about Microsoft buying Github or Skype.
> They are averse to losing money (via needing to spend money to redesign systems, recertify interfaces, re-train pilots, rebuy new equipment and simulators, all of those reduce risk but are capital intensive).

Re-designing systems introduces risk and uncertainty. Being able to leverage existing pilot training reduces risk (because crashes have resulted from pilots forgetting they were flying X and applied training for Y). Buying new equipment introduces risk of manufacturing defects that wasn't present in the working one.

Which seedlings are you getting? If you're able, skip the ones at the building supply store's garden center and see if you have any heirloom seedling sales/exchanges in your area (though maybe not this year...).

The fruit we get from the heirloom plants is head and shoulders above the others— Brandywine and Cosmonaut Volkov are two particularly delicious beefsteak-type "slicing" tomatoes.

If you're up for starting your own seedlings, there are also obviously loads of places to order specific varieties of seeds online.
Not person you're responding to, but I think it's fair to say that they sell pricier products - in some cases, yes, even 2-3x, than where some get their groceries. My parents do a lot of their shopping at dollar stores and they're just far less expensive.

But of course you're comparing here different products of the same "type," a box of cereal versus an entirely different box of cereal by an entirely different manufacturer, so I think they were misleading without that context. Also, pricier products doesn't necessarily mean bigger margins.

Who decides whether blue collar workers deserve bathroom breaks? Why do you treat the free market as the sole authority on what working conditions people "deserve"?

You're arguing that shaving off a couple minutes a day is worth the loss of human dignity that these workers experience.
That doesn't take into account fear and the need to care for family. If, for instance, Mexico gets hit hard by COVID, you might see an effect on US agricultural labor supply as people return home to care for family or attend funerals. There is a fear factor as well. In China, I remember reading people were simply refusing to show up for work.

> Americans playing 1-rung above farm labor are going to fill any void in the migrant labor pool.

Has this ever happened in modern times? I can see Americans filling voids in the construction and service industries, but farm labor is pretty hard work and doesn't pay well. Will Americans take a farm job when they can sit idle and collect enhanced unemployment benefits?

Keep in mind that farm workers generally don't have quality health care, and will likely fare worse as a population than an averaged sample of cases.

Multiple physical knobs and buttons add multiple points of failure: moving parts fail and even worse, they often fail intermittently. We all have that experience. Even optical encoders fail (I’ve had one fail on an engine, and obviously consumer mice, or the connectors fail).

A modern touch screen is superbly reliable because it has no moving parts, and it can be tested. The (consumer grade) iPad touchscreen is very reliable.

Tod, one of the founders here. At Pipedream, we operate RequestBin.com which is used by over 100,000 developers a year.

This new release address the most common request we have received over the past year. It offers the functionality of a request bin (a URL that collects requests you send it so you can inspect them in a human-friendly way) coupled with the power of an API (a way to consume event data in your app using real-time REST or SSE APIs).

In addition, we now allow users to trigger serverless workflows, with built-in integration to hundreds of apps and developer tools.

We think there’s a lot we can improve and are eager for feedback so please send us your ideas and opinions.

Hey, thanks a lot for the feedback (and I've seen harsher words on HN, so no worries)! I wrote most of the docs, so more than happy to take any feedback to see where it can improved!

What I'm mostly trying to refer to are ActiveRecord style ORMs in the Node.js ecosystem (such as Sequelize and TypeORM). With those libraries, you often have model objects that can get really complicated to work with, these are not plain objects but implement lots of additional behaviour for storage and retrieval of data, often times business logic as well. Compared to that, working with plain objects (which are statically and structurally typed) is a fundamentally different approach that's hopefully easier to reason (at least that's what I've found from my personal experience).

That's fair. My counterpoint would be that Apple could have become a customer of the Dark Sky API, achieving essentially the same result without Dark Sky having to kill off platforms.

But sure, at that point, it probably makes sense for Apple to just buy the company to make sure that the data supply chain is within their control.

Plastics in general make me nervous. I watched a talk from an endocrinologist that many plastics and their byproducts can bind to chemical receptors, throwing off the production and ratios of various hormones and neurotransmitters. We made a big push against BPA-free plastic years ago, but there may be other varieties that are just as harmful: https://www.motherjones.com/environment/2014/03/tritan-certi...

(I'm also very nervous about "biodegradable" plastic which appears to break down granularly, but persists microscopically in the environment.)

As much as I applaud the effort to use cloth bags at the grocery store, the vast majority of the products we place in them are still wrapped in huge quantities of single-use plastic. While metal cans and glass jars are at least somewhat more recyclable/reusable, I'm not even sure we have a good replacement for the necessary evil of food-safe containers.

If someone more knowledgable than myself had suggestions on how to look for safer/greener plastic varieties, or general strategies to reduce their use, I'd love to hear them.
Oh I see, makes sense. Thanks.
My worry about asking it as a question is that because it's kind of esoteric, someone could have all the tools they need to implement it, and not know it.

The coronavirus gives Amazon an excuse to use to order employees to stay home if they try to organize their coworkers. It's not a coincidence that Amazon only ordered this employee to stay home after seeing that he led a strike. If Amazon actually cared about their employees' wellbeing, they would have told Smalls to stay home after he had been exposed, not more than two weeks later.

Imagine I have a friend who is a cop. They give me their login that lets me run background checks on people. I use it to stalk my ex, check out my neighbors and generally behave creepily. I later get caught.

I absolutely should be charged with unauthorized access, because the person who gave me access had no right to give me that access and I knowingly used a protected computer system against the wishes of the owner, for my own aims.

Replace the above with "medical records" or "banking information" or whatever you wish.

You are a fine engineer and there are many people that are working at FANG that are worse than you. Just keep grinding and don't give up. You have built a solid foundation the past few months.

If Honda is "bucking a trend" here it just shows how much professionals, experts and decision-makers can be fooled by trends.

I speculate that Tesla made it something other luxury brands wanted too, and then those brands went bezerk: E.g. the newest Range Rover models feature multiple touch screens, they turned your AC-control-knobs into touch-screens as well, and even the once-handy controls on your steering wheel. What's the point then of still having a phisical gear shift?

I applaud Honda for making common sense an official statement again. I ditched the newest lineups of all new premium brands (also) because of that touch-screen nonsense and choosed a cheaper brand instead where it's at least just one touch device.

Premium brands still don't seem to get how un-premium a dashboard full of thumbprints and smudges looks like, even less if everything else has a piano finish.

I have been rewriting a big application with it, I would say its getting there but some features are still lacking and you start to hit them when you do more advanced stuff (long-lived transactions, aggregation, etc.). But the team is working very fast and I am super confident we will have everything by GA (most of the issues are tracked). For example we didn't have access to foreign keys last week and they added that in like 3 days. It's a huge step forward in terms of code quality is you don't like ORM like me, but you also hate not having typing when using query builders/raw SQL.

At this point I’m thinking maybe the permissions on my local private key got screwed up. So, I blow away ~/.ssh and recreate all of my keys from a backup

Is that a common thing to do, or any reason why the OP would do that? Doesn't ssh reject your key, saying it does that if there's such a problem? And even if not wouldn't it be advisable to at least look at the permissions; I mean suppose they're not -rw------- or so, wouldn't you want to know that, and also why they are not ok?
Companies like The Weather Channel (which owns weather.com) have been fighting open access to government funded weather data.

Hi, I make the toolkit that Dark Sky (and others) use for their visuals. Been in the weather/aviation mobile space a long time.

I'd floated a Weather-Service-In-A-Box to my clients a few months ago, but got no takers.

Data tiles for the visuals. That sort of thing.
