I recently presented my master's thesis exactly on a process involving kanbans. I implemented a discrete event simulator that compares different dynamic scheduling agent policies of which one is a MIP optimization model. All very cool, but the company still uses paper kanbans and the whole process is far from the so called "industry 4.0". All in all, change costs and the change needs to give enough fruits to justify it.
That's not entirely true because the bar isn't deterministic. For example, diverse candidates are given two attempts to pass a phone screen.

I'm curious if Lyft and Uber will attempt to work with national grocery store chains to handle delivery. Most grocery stores have some sort of pick-up at store. It seems like Lyft/Uber could be used to then convert that pick-up at store into grocery delivery if they were integrated into the grocery stores checkout process.

That way Lyft and Uber wouldn't have to necessarily create their own storefronts like Instacart has and the grocery chains would be less worried about being commoditized since the grocery chains would control the customer relationship.

I would definitely like to use multiple grocery delivery services so as to keep multiple grocery stores in business to avoid having Amazon/Whole Foods be a single point of failure, but the grocery chains' delivery is backlogged.

It seems counter intuitive for Lyft and Uber to not be finding ways to keep their drivers. Otherwise they will end up working for Amazon doing Whole Foods delivery. In fact, IIRC Lyft was actively encouraging them to go work for Amazon/WF [1].

Big mistake, imnsho. It will work fantastic right up to the point where you actually need that control in an emergency and then it will fail you because it is impossible to hit the right area consistently in a bucking aircraft. It also requires visual confirmation rather than tactile confirmation, which requires you to take away your attention from the surroundings, something you do at your peril in aircraft.

Given that food and medicine make up a large portion of spending, I think we'll see something more like, "some prices go up and others go down."

Another big chunk is housing, which as far as I know, shouldn't expect much difference in supply or demand in the short term, though demand may increase (at least as measured by square footage) if people are staying home for a long enough time. That may be countered by the reduction in demand for real estate by businesses, though zoning will probably limit the short term effects that has on housing.

Please don't spread misinformation, our current laws are completely different from what Orban is doing.
There indeed are over here some neo fascist leaders who are aiming at destroy our beloved country just like their precursors did nearly a century ago, though luckily they were booted out of the government last year. We're still safe, for now.

What Orban is doing is akin to what Hitler and Mussolini did back then, that is, obtaining full unlimited power through democratic means, then use the power to kill those means. That is, no more parliament (this is a common pattern when democracies transition into dictatorships).
Now the only way to have him step down is to ask him politely to do so, hoping not to get jailed in the process. If this seems democratic to you, then good luck when they'll do the same over here a few years from now.

Homebrew Cask's uninstall scripts are basically a community-maintained "best guess" at to how to full uninstall each piece of software. It's generally pretty reliable, and I do use it to remove non-brew installs sometimes.

When I first read "killing their competition" I thought it meant killing competition in the form of weather apps. That didn't make any sense to me since Apple makes no money off the Weather app. Only after re-reading that sentence a few times did I realize the OP meant killing Android.

That said, I don't believe that to be the issue either. Death by a thousand cuts, maybe, but I seriously doubt closing off one app from the Android ecosystem is going to do any damage whatsoever. I think this is more about the acquisition of talent and nothing more.

Most places also deliver, useful particularly now. I needed some office supplies recently and amazon was showing delivery more than a month away. I tried office max and they had it in stock for free overnight delivery.
You are exactly the reason why companies like Dark Sky can be bought by Apple: you have only ever paid for one Android app. That does not make a vibrant app economy.
Finally, although there are still more than a year to wait. Hope there won't be any extension to this deadline.

Before that, I'll keep allowing calls from my contacts only, and bear the miserable inconvenience that sometime my packages may take a month to arrive because of denials of calls from the delivery guy.
I don't understand this comment. "The sky is blue" is something that's constant. The DOJ investigating a congressman is not a common event at all, that's why it's newsworthy.

if you disable iCloud backup, apple cannot decrypt those messages.

iMessage is 100% e2e. There is no key compromise. Even the backup does not compromise the keys you use for iMessage.

As for restore from backup:

You need a separate device to approve the attempt - and that provides the necessary data (which is also E2E), for your device to decrypt your iCloud Keychain, and to add its public key material so it can receive new messages.

In the event you have no devices left, the fall back is the iCloud Key Vault, which are in essence a set of HSMs that apple cannot access (this is covered in their security white paper, and a talk by Ivan Krstic a few years ago at blackout).
There are three big issues. Robocalls and spam were not as severe an issue until relatively recently. Political robocalls in the US are an important part of how some politicians get elected and raise funds. And these solutions cost a non trivial amount of money, without increasing revenue directly.

Probably because of the fact that everyone and their mother are now using Zoom. The options are pretty bleak if you need 5+ user video conferencing and a tool that's usable cross platform with minimal fuss and either free or very minimal pricing plans... I think you have maybe Google Hangouts/Meet/whatever it's called now, BlueJeans, and maybe a few other more proprietary options. Don't know if people are using Skype much these days.

Anyways, since it's become wildly more popular, I think more people are digging into what it's actually doing (probably similar to what most other not-self-hosted video conferencing tools are doing) and finding that there's a lot of privacy-violating actions.

Some of these issues bubble up from time to time, but now that Zoom is one of the few companies in the limelight as everyone goes WFH and school from home...

For maintaining eye contact during video call we need to look at camera rather than screen. Unless there is some model trained to correct this by maintaining eye contact irrespective of camera, it will be hard to fix as it may deviate the level of concntration during call.

Hey Gian, I'm familiar with Druid since its start at metamarkets (and a client of that company). I've been following Imply and you guys have done great work at making Druid a lot better over the years.

I guess I should've stated relational columnstore to describe the others. Vertica has S3/remote storage interfaces similar to Historicals and all vendors are adding indexing to columnstore segments beyond partition/zone maps for fast seeks. MemSQL is the most advanced with in-memory tables to augment the disk-based columnstores.

The improved SQL support will help and the overall design of Druid makes sense, but I have to stand by the fact that I find it tough to recommend over the alternatives now. If everything's converging on similar functionality, what would you say is the roadmap for Druid's future advantage?
I wonder if the Zoom TOS allows them to monetize this kind of conversation in any way?

> The web was supposed to forcefully challenge our opinions and push back, like a personal trainer who doesn't care how tired you say you are.

What does this even mean?

The web wasn't "supposed to" be anything. Though I'm not sure what magic search engine OP actually has in mind and how it's supposed to work.

Besides, one of the modern mysteries is that we're in the age of instant information yet you'll notice how many people will write up an entire comment online or bicker IRL instead of doing a cursory search. I don't think it's the internet creating human stupidity / laziness. Unfortunately we had that long before, and search engines simply try to show the best results with minimal context.

Also, I think discussion around tech would be much improved if we tried to come up with a better idea whenever we go through the trouble of complaining about something. Anyone can enumerate why things are suboptimal, and usually when you try to come up with alternatives, you find out it's just trade-offs with no ideal solution.

Trying to pitch an alternative solution (like how a search engine should work) helps drill down into real conversational bedrock that's much more interesting.
I think you're missing something pretty major -- a touchscreen can support multiple UIs, menus, and controls, with minimal hardware.

Every Marriott I have ever been in was chosen for me, because of their business-friendly group booking system. There's an agent-principle problem with hotels that rely on corporate group rate and conference customers.

I went to the fedex store in a Marriott a couple of blocks from here to drop off a pre-paid parcel, and they wanted a $20 "convenience" fee to leave it on the desk. Maybe Marriott doesn't need to care about guest infosec because guests are the product, not the customer.

I mean, no one pays $27 of their _own_ money for a continental breakfast...
Definitely agree with you there. I wonder how far we are from some kind of standardization. Lots of startups are already in this space, but if a few FAANG companies adopted a common standard it wouldn't be long before a large share of the industry followed suit.

Signaling does not explain 90% of human behavior. Stopped reading right there.

That kind of talk only an Economist can come up with, and sell to folks who have never heard about a subject called Psychology.

Economists are a bunch of people, who only recently discovered human behavior needed to be taken into account, to explain everything inexplicable about the economy. That mistake is how we end up with Alan Greenspan standing around expressing "shock and disbelief" at the 2008 meltdown.

If Signaling explains everything about human behavior what are the 418 books ranked above (the one in the article) in Amazon's Psychology category talking about?

I think the mistake you’re making is thinking Apple cares about messaging. They don’t. They care about the iOS platform. Messages gives them a competitive advantage in that sector. Yes a competing messaging service might surpass it, in fact this has already happened in China with WeChat. This goes some way to level of the playing field with Android over there.

But putting Messages on Android would level the playing field as well. It might give them the dominant messaging platform, at least outside a China, but so what? There’s no reason for them to care about that. They’re not Facebook.
The thing that seems super strange to me is that they don't seem to have warned people they would do this, the first comment is

> This isn't very helpful, Amanda! I know that the wiki wasn't optimal, but there were many wiki pages developers like me had bookmarked for years beacuse they contained comprehensive and easy information, which is now missing. Why not just keep the wiki read-only online? Just to retain the old pages? I'm pretty lost right now without some of these articles and I don't understand why the only option you had was to completely disable it. Please think about opening it up again just for read. I don't care about the maintenance mode, but the wiki was an important learning point, which is now gone.

If you don't want to support the wiki that's fine, you don't owe anyone hosting, but if you're going to dump it, atleast give someone the opportunity to scrape the site and host it themselves.

Have to be honest, I'm surprised the article wasn't about SEO. That gets a lot of blame for ruining the internet, especially on tech sites.
