This goes against labor trends in the supermarket industry since the early 1900s, and would increase labor needs considerably. The original grocery stores were full-service like this, but assortment was still small and tastes were provincial. Supermarkets have been shedding labor consistently since the full-service days, and are managed towards ever increasing the UPLH metric (Units Per Labor Hour). Instacart serves as a sort of stop gap measure during the uncertainties of this pandemic. The nature of Instacart "hiring" is non-binding: employees are not bound to do any amount of work, and Instacart is under no obligation to provide it. These 250,000 workers are not guaranteed any amount of wages or hours, which is much different than if the supermarket industry tried to do what you propose. That approach is much more appealing to the supermarket industry: as work surges, people who need the work do it, and as the work subsides, they fade into the wood work. Personally I advocate for strong worker rights and a healthy labor market, but it will take more than a pandemic to get the supermarket industry to increase their direct workforce significantly.

> Next time you want to buy something from Amazon, I would encourage you to find the seller's website directly or find them on eBay. eBay charges less seller fees and is not in the business of selling products directly.

Last time I bought an item off eBay, it arrived shipped via Amazon Prime. Pretty sure the seller just bought it off Amazon and shipped it to my house... it was a weird turn of events.

It wasn't a branded item, just a third-party battery replacement for a cordless phone, but still.

A relevant example would be someone who is lobbying for mandatory disclosure of source code, but not providing source of their own software until legally required to.

> Another one was Lawrence Lessig starting a Super Pac to run for president with the singular goal of replacing dark money with publicly funded campaigns.

Yes, and my point is that it's not hypocritical to use dark money for that, since to abstain would weaken his position even if he's actually sincere. On the hand, from a PR/signalling perspective, abstaining from dark money is not a effective signal, because there's nothing actually stopping a campaign that intends to reneg on it's promises from sending the same signal, if it sees that that would benefit it. So insisting on ideological purity just disadvanges Lawrence-Lessig-like campaigns relative to openly malicious ones, without actually filtering out secretly malicious ones.

This is an interesting addition to AWS! I wonder how is this better than stitch or fivetran? It’s not immediately clear to me. Also I am doing the back the envelope math. It seems like app flow cost more than our current usage of stitch or even fivetran to our redshift warehouse and doesn’t even include some of our bigger other sources we use (MySQL, stripe). I am gonna do more analysis on this and see if this can be a potential cost saver for us in the longer.

You might wish that this was the case, but in the US, the anti-trust law doesn't work this way.

The law doesn't prohibit monopoly by itself. Monopolization is only prohibited if it restrains trade, or if the monopoly position was improperly gained. If Amazon attains monopoly position through superior products, innovation, or business acumen, it is very much legal in the US[1].

I think it's hard to argue that Amazon undercutting the participants in its marketplace is restraining the trade: the complaint here is, as I understand it, that through better knowledge of the market, and better integrated and more efficient platform, it is able to offer same or better products at lower prices. I can't see how it restrains the trade, according to how FTC understands it. It would only be illegal if Amazon did sold these products below their own costs, and then planned to recoup the losses by raising the price after the competition is gone. I haven't seen any evidence that this is what's going on.

We use the term "immunity" but we should remember that there is a difference between the presence of active antibodies and the presence of immune "memory cells". The latter hang around long-term, even if the former disappear. So at a minimum if one does develop infection they will recover far sooner and with better outcomes. And likely will reach a far lower peak viral load which might bring down transmission.
Does "hydrate" add some nuance here that "fill" doesn't? If so, I'm missing it.

It's implementation is buckets divided node based hash map. Theoretically, its order is good, but not that efficient in modern hardware where the memory access is heavily cached so the data locality is more important than saving the memory copy or memory size. Using the linked list to save some memory copy doesn't benefit at all and the overhead is far greater than simply copying the contagious large chunk of memory. Especially so if the data type is trivial so the simple byte by byte memcpy is suffice.
So many problems are solved so easily by "just" doing simple thing X. Maybe this really is a simple fix. It doesn't sound that way to me though.
Maybe this is what's needed to loosen the virtual monopoly YouTube has.

Yeah, macOS doesn't really have GPU passthrough.

But on Linux, you can do GPU passthrough on Linux for macOS (and Windows) guests.

In particular, since no VM has graphics acceleration for macOS guests, and because macOS relies very heavily on graphics acceleration, GPU passthrough is basically the only way to comfortably use macOS inside of a VM.

Under the circumstances there’s probably no legal obstacle to them doing so. A pandemic looks, walks and quacks like force majeure.

I thought the first part of this comment was satire. I'm sorry.
Traditional retailers buy their inventory from manufacturers to place on the shelf and in turn sell to customers. There may be some agreements on buying back unsold inventory, but generally the retailer takes on risk for the inventory they are selling.

Amazon, conversely, only provides the platform connecting manufacturers to customers. They may hold consigned inventory in their warehouse, but they typically don't take on the risk for any unsold stock.

This is a big difference between grocery private labels and Amazon basics. Amazon is reaping the benefits without taking on any of the risk.

If you think that's an acceptable answer, then Tedros could have given it as an answer instead of an irrelevant diatribe about mean people online.

Public health is, like aviation for example, one of those things where recognition of "legitimate" governments has to take a back seat to de facto reality. If the WHO is unable to deal with Taiwan, then we need a different organization that can.
This is just Amazon’s first move. They definitely have most of Zapier’s use cases on their roadmap at this point.

>the unordered_map is very slow(it's a node based hash map, not suitable for the modern hardware)

It is very slow?

I wrote my app in FreePascal. I need a hashmap, but FreePascal has no real standard hashmap, so I have been benchmarking Pascal hashmaps for weeks/months.

Today I added std::unordered_map for comparison. It will still take a day to run the benchmark, but so far it looks that std::unordered_map is 25% faster than the fastest map in the FreePascal standard library. And the best map of 45 Pascal maps is only 30% faster than std::unordered_map. Only 10 maps are faster, and 35 maps are slower.
But they can easily take longer to deliver, and are, negating any need to change pricing.

Depending on how much more mature the C++ implementation is, you might consider using the Rust version for this instead. I've toyed around with exposing Rust to C (for a TCP-based message protocol[0], as chance would have it), and it worked pretty great.

How to make a great R reproducible example
PowerPC wasn't really "Apples own", even if they had some input in the design. And ARM overall is a bigger ecosystem than PowerPC ever was, and they're not bound in fabrication now.

I think it makes more sense to see it in the same line, not as a 180 reversal: They got PowerPC because it was a good solution at the time and the 68k they used beforehand couldn't keep up. Then 10 years later (during a time where that meant a massive increase in speeds etc: 10 years of PowerPC went from 60 Mhz to 2.3 Ghz) they saw that IBM couldn't keep up with Intel (and small unit numbers meant that it was expensive) and switched platforms to then-strongest choice. Now it's 15 years later, they already have expertise and designs for ARM from the mobile market, Intel is less clearly the leader in x86, ... and they are reconsidering again. To me, the connecting line is more that they are willing to break the ecosystem to follow wherever the best option is.

You could see it as an reversal in that they go from niche (PowerPC) to mainstream (Intel) to niche (nobody makes ARM desktop systems), but I think that ignores that they already have leading expertise with ARM, ARM is not a niche overall (tooling support and ecosystem), they're not bound to fab tech of a specific company anymore (because they now can have whoever is the best in fabrication right now make their designs, that wasn't really a thing in PowerPC times), ...

You mind sharing the source on those numbers because the total deaths is somewhat meaningless without the number of infections which I imagine is much higher for the flu? Even those absolute numbers show total deaths being just over 25% higher for COVID-19 than the flu.
When people are directly threatening people because they are even slightly linked to 5G towers, or they're peddling nonsense like 'drinking bleach will cure you of corona', then I think it's fair to draw a line in the sand and say those are dangerous, nonsensical beliefs.

They are atomic in the sense that it is not possible to observe the intermediate states and they are not data races.

It is extremely hard though to implement them in a lock-free way without a true DCAS (which pretty much no architecture implements). I think all implementations use spinlock pools. I guess transactional hardware could be used.

This is one of the reasons why GC does make it easier to implement some lock free algorithms as you do not have to worry about races during memory deallocation. Without GC, I I guess the next best thing is RCU or harzard pointers, but they are significantly more complex.

From a cursory read I do not see any fancy lock free algorithm in the code though, so I'm not sure why they need atomic operations on shared_ptrs.
