This means then that if you run multiple application servers, which most do, that you’ll need to implement a data distribution mechanism of some sort.

I must admit, with limitations like this I’m struggling to figure out the use cases for this.

Edit: so I guess this is easier using the change subscriptions you mention in other comments. That does mean many subscribers, but hopefully that’s minimal load. This has the trade-off that it’s now eventually consistent, but I suppose that’s not a problem for many high read applications.

I’m still feeling like this could be solved in a simpler way with just simple data structures and a pub sub mechanism. Now I think of it, we do a similar thing with Redis for one service, and a custom Python server/pipeline in another, but we’ve never felt the need for this sort of thing.

Do you have more details about specific applications/use cases, and why this is better than alternatives?

Proper heavy deadlifts are one of the best exercises to help posture. It's impossible to get a good amount of weight off the floor slouched over, and after a few weeks of training this movement you'll have good posture habits drilled well into your head.

...at least once this whole virus situation clears up. In the meantime, maybe farmer carries with heavy book bags or somesuch? If you're not in proper posture it will hurt, but correct form will challenge your grip strength more than your back. Planks are also wonderful for building up the strength to keep good posture.

I don't quite understand why "more infectious but less lethal" is better than "less infectious but more lethal" -- both mean that lots of people are going to die.
"they're restocking and doing other administrative tasks. Most of those tasks don't just go away when you move to a curbside pickup model"

I’ve not used those to give an opinion on their outputs. But if you can use React in way you produce a minimal, static build of an LP, that’s okay. My main argument is that a sales LP doesn’t need the interactivity React was built to provide.

And if I’m driving paid traffic to an LP, every part of it has to justify itself. Because, otherwise, not only will my conversion rate suffer, Google will charge more per click for a lesser quality landing page.

Yes - I bought a microphone that was in-stock for pick-up and a week later sent a "hey, what's up?" email and got a "order ready for pickup" email an hour later. There was no one in the store but they had 10x the number of pickup orders to process. Its a operational capacity problem, not a scheduling one.
FIRST FACTORY (company link: https://firstfactory.com/)

Hello fellow HN readers. Here's the short version of the story:

So I was working at X SF startup company (with a subsidiary office in Costa Rica) and decided to give it a try at First Factory, an outsourcing shop based in NY and Costa Rica, they handed me a contract (March 5th, 2020) to start working with them effective March 30th, 2020.

So I quit my job and was ready to jump on board. Then on March 25th, 2020 I get a call (the lady pretty much laughably telling me all this) stating that they were in financial trouble and couldn't onboard me at all, and the contract was voided.

I know this happens, but you get a feeling of how shocked I was hearing this. I couldn't believe my ears. And now I'm unemployed pretty much. I've applied to a few positions through "Who's Hiring" at HN tough, let's see how it goes -_-

At this point the combination of Apple/Android Pay, PayPal, Venmo/CashApp, and a Credit Card satisfy all of my needs for casual spending and money transfer. If Libra wants to unify all this then power to them but it'll be an uphill since there's a reason people aren't using the bank's worse version of Venmo even though they're integrated.

Co-creator of curb.run here.

To add to what kelnos said, curbside pickup is better for public health because it limits the number of customers in the store, reducing vectors. It's also better for the workers themselves. Wegmans and a bunch of other grocery stores are using Instacart shoppers for curbside order fulfillment. Comparing that to delivery, an Instacart shopper may go into 10+ different stores on any given day while they're working. Not only is it inefficient, it significantly increases vectors and endangers their health more.

As thecodemonkey has said, we made an intentional decision to only support curbside and not delivery. We've also encouraged people to add items to their own cart for elderly or carless neighbors who can't place their own pickup order. (We also organized a neighborhood effort, before this app, to help people get groceries and prescriptions.)

It would be ideal everyone were able to do curbside/pickup only. But that's not realistic given the short timeframe of this crisis.

In the UK, the government seems to have shared a list with Sainsbury's of high-risk people. We had a friend in the UK ask us to add it, so I tried to sign up, and they said I couldn't because my email wasn't on the list from the government. I don't see such a thing being possible here in the US.

This app isn't perfect, but we released it because we think it helps in a small way. And if we all help in a small way, in whatever our own way is, we'll get through this.
This was the key line that stood out to me as well. I've seen both situations where individuals are jealous of successful people in resource-limited environments and where employees appreciate working with and helping high performers when resources are plentiful for everyone.
> It's not about cold-calling, it's about monetizing your network. If you have experience and contacts in an industry, and a startup offers you 30% commission on the revenue you bring in, it could be worth the time to see if you can make valuable connections for them. This is especially true if you're not tied to a full-time schedule with them — you could literally do this while still working another job.

So, the salesperson should risk losing a contact (and an account) for... nothing?
At least before its acquisition, grindr had its hand in a bunch of non-profit tech stuff.

I don't know if they consolidated it to a specific website. The times I ran into them, they were focused on homeless lgbt (they thought some app would help) and other kinds of public health initiatives involving racism, transphobia, safe spaces, all that ... don't assume the attitude of the users on the platform reflect that of the company, they seemed to be pretty upstanding. [1]

It looked like they had an extensive network. You could probably reach out to them over a general email address ...

A) the lower bounds of climate change is now +2°C. The MWP was maybe +1°C.

B) (Possibly) I can't tell how long that change took to come into effect. One of the current concerns is how rapidly climate is changing.

C) Evidence points that the MWP only affected areas around the North Atlantic. Current climate change is having impact globally (though not equally so everywhere)

There were a ton of societal disruptions in the period of 950-1250. Vikings, Normal conquest of England, the Crusades. I'm not making an argument that any of those were caused by changing climate, but it definitely was a time of change with a heavy admixture of violence.

Encryption on the web is easy, because its automated by TLS. A far more concise answer is that email does not have an equivalent to TLS because it's architecture is not the simple client-server model like the web.

TLS is two layers of encryption. An outer layer using some form of PKI to form an encrypted pipe for the transfer of a symmetric key transfer then a more secure inner pipe based upon the symmetric key.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security

That is vaguely straight forward to automate provided lots of agreement around various supported standards, because the client only has to communicate with a server that will automatically respond.

Email architecture is more like client-server-server-client (and that understates many edge cases), or rather peer-to-peer with a variety of decentralized servers in the middle and the clients aren't stateful applications like how web browsers are dedicated to browsing the web. An email client on one end has no idea what the various servers and remote clients will support and when they will ever respond for a variety of technical reasons.

Since email does not have TLS key exchange is manual unless both clients are on the same server and the server owns the process for establishing key exchange, session encryption to each party, and routing between each encrypted session.
Regarding points 2) and 3), I wasn't aware of those limitations. I admit to never having tried to use SEPA direct debit with Stripe, I just saw it in their docs.

Regarding 1): is it? Credit card payments can also be charged back, often for a period longer than 8 weeks. And both "aaS" products as well as certain retailers selling and shipping physical goods, do offer direct debit. I can't quote any fraud rates, but it certainly seems possible to do it.

If I'm not mistaken, AWS OpsWorks supports Chef and Puppet document formats to configure AWS infrastructure. I've never used it, though.

Having said that, it's very weird to hear about using these sorts of tools with containers. The whole point of containers is that they don't require any configuration at all at the container level, because that's already handled when the container image is created. After that point it's a container orchestration problem, and that's left to the Docker Swarm/Kubernetes systems out there.

Nuclear energy density is surprisingly low when you consider security around the powerplant.

Waterford Nuclear Generating Station for example occupies 3,000 acre of land to produce 8402 GWh (2017). That’s 8402 GWh / 12 million square meters / 365.24d / 24h = 0.08kW per meter or 80w/meter compared to ~67w/meter over 24 hours for a 23% efficient solar panel in a Arizona. You are spacing those panels, so in practice solar needs about twice the land for the same average power.

That’s just one example there are better and worse examples. Notably you can get higher nuclear power density when multiple GW reactors are on the same peace of land, but that’s got it’s own issues.
You are conflating “for profit” with private. Most good hospitals are non profit, but private institutions.

Can't speak to living spaces since we don't do that, but you have the basic process in mind. You might rip the floor planks/panels out entirely, eliminating the smelly, pesticide- laden lumber and giving access to more metal surfaces during blasting. Or, much less ideal but possible: you can seal over the nasty flooring with epoxy then leave it or put another flooring layer on top.

Haven't heard of powder coating interiors - that would be a lot of wattage! - but maybe doable with radiant methods and insulation blankets, or putting the whole thing in a giant curing oven? Most often it's just spray-on epoxy over rust-converting primer. There are low(er)-toxicity formulations out there. For undemanding applications you can paint with household enamel over primer - wouldn't hold up on the exterior though.

Interestingly, the Cor-Ten steel many (most?) containers are made of is a weathering steel that forms a protective rust layer when left to its own devices. So you could conceivably just leave it there to develop a fine rusty patina!

All told, there isn't a single "right way," to clean up a container, but there are some best practices and trends. YouTube seems to have a wealth of folks documenting their container home builds.
None of the existing solutions you mentioned support cross border p2p payments.
The goal of this is to reduce DB queries? Why not just queue up / batch writes? What benefits does this provide over application side batching of the event.

EvenReduce assumes there are no other systems interacting with the DB state (by using the old state that the current system saw). If there are no other systems, simple batching would work fine.
Thanks for clarifying.

Perhaps consider rewording your post title? It's currently:

The idea of encouraging people to look for other stores seems to be something grocery stores are doing, I just noticed the Kroger-based chain's website I use (QFC) shows me a list of other locations with pickup availability.

Having this built in is absolutely awesome...
To build intuition for this, here's a contrived example. You own a widget-making company, and they're very successful: you get a profit of $1 for each widget sold, and each widget factory produces 1 million widgets per year. You currently have one factory, for a profit of $1M/year, and a new factory costs $8M to build. Suppose that four factories are enough to supply the world's widget needs, in which case you'll eventually be making $4M/year.

If you don't raise any money at all, you'll be able to build a second factory after 8 years, a third factory after 4 years, and a fourth factory after another 2 years. At that point you're making $4M/year and no longer expanding. Hooray! After 14 years of putting all the profits into making new factories, you can enjoy watching the money flow in.

Now suppose you were able to convince investors to give you $24M to build three more factories immediately, in exchange for some percentage of the business. You're immediately making $4M/year, minus whatever percentage goes to your investors. If the percentage that the investors get is low enough, this has a higher net present value to you than the slow-and-steady approach described in the previous paragraph.

Now what if investors aren't convinced enough to give you $24M, but they will give you enough ($8M) to make one factory? Well, you could open that factory, show investors that you're making double the profits now, and maybe that'll convince them to invest more now that your business has proven itself. There may even be multiple rounds of this. The rationale is the same: by expanding your business faster, you expand your revenue faster.
The world is full of risks. Got to deal with them.

Article talks about how a Chrysler bankruptcy would have made remaining automakers more competitive, particularly vs Japanese brands.

It should also mention that public would have had more money to spend on other things because 1) cheaper cars, and 2) they would have kept the money that was spent on the bailout. That could also have created jobs that the UAW was afraid of losing.

The increased productivity could then have been spent on transitioning the Chrysler workers.

I've noticed that on newer (past few years) MacBook Pros, if their battery runs down too far they refuse to start up, even when plugged into the charger. The battery has to charge for 10-15 minutes with the "dead battery" icon on the screen. It's exactly the same behavior as iPhone/iPad. In past MacBook models, the battery could be dead--or even completely removed--and the charger would power the laptop fine.

Anyone know why this extremely irritating change had to be made?
