To expand on Steve's point, code written in 1.0 style should continue to work indefinitely, modulo soundness fixes, lints and plain old bugs.

You should only need to update at your own pace or because your dependencies force you to, and they shouldn't do so often if they care about supporting as many users as possible.

Big changes, like async/await sugar or impl Trait or the ? operator are uncommon and they either make your code that much nicer to read or allow new constructs that were previously impossible.

How will this change relying on libraries like Intel's MKL library if Apple is using their own chips?
Austin has more than 10x more people every day than attend SWSX which lasts for less than 2 weeks. It’s even less significant as many people avoid the area during big events. Perhaps a 5% increase in sales for under 3% of the year so what 0.15% increase as a high estimate over the year.
Actually - as the article described, they DO spend a lot of time looking at SPECIFIC seller data for unique products because it gives them LOTS extra that category details don't provide.
> The difference here is that a) it is all upfront and b) the mfg can make an informed decision - is this worth it.

You sign the same deal when you sell on Amazon, probably even signing away more rights. I'm not sure I haven't read the full EULA when you sign up to sell.

> Amazon as a seller you can't plan as well - their alog or someone else paying for promo could cut your demand in half overnight.

This is about the only thing you've said I agree with. But it's not due to lack of data, it's due to barrier to entry with retail sales you have less competition. Right for the wrong reason here.

> Additionally retail stores actually drive demand / discover ability when they purchase your product in a way amazon often does not.

Amazon drives way WAY more discoverability than any retailer.

Pretty much your entire argument contradicts real world experience, common sense, and actual reality from what I know of the situation. I can tell you for a fact your assertion that 'Amazon doesn't do this' everything you're saying is 100% false.
Me too! It's slated for release today also, right?
That's an interesting thought, but you'd have to have a really good seal between the two for it to work (think like processors and thermal paste).
It has a long tradition. It happened to me many years ago: I've upgraded from one version of Ubuntu to another doing the "upgrade" but I had more and more problems. Then I've reached for help over the internet. The answer was "oh you upgrade to the new version? We never try this, we backup our home and install from scratch."

Another interesting point from these times: it was even then often written that the Linux and Ubuntu are better for the use of older computers compared to Windows. That wasn't true either. With every new version less of my hardware worked as expected. The memory demands only for the GUI installer were bigger than the demands of Windows, forcing me to attempt to install from the text mode, and still having the issues later. Windows just worked on the same machine (with the existing drivers).

I've also lived through my (other) old hardware breaking on Windows too: my notebook on which all the hardware worked as expected on Windows 7 was declared by the Windows 10 as "totally would work" and it totally didn't -- the Intel devices on it never got the drivers that worked on Windows 10, neither by Microsoft nor by Intel who simply stopped supporting them.

No OS is immune from the scenario (or even the company claims) "it will work" which than turns out not to be true with a new version.

Long story short, in this case, backup your /home, install from scratch. Backups are good anyway. Any other attempt will probably give more pain. Also don't expect the newest OS to always work with the old hardware. Be prepared for these kinds of events too.

For a real long term, there's Red Hat.

During a pandemic, it's more likely than not that any negative test on a symptomatic person is false.

It's also quite likely that a positive test on an asymptomatic person is also false -- depending on how prevalent it is in the general population.
so did a lot of retailers. Walmart, Target, REI, every major grocery chain, etc. have all done it. IMHO, this is just business as usual, not sure why it's worth pointing out that Amazon did it when others have been doing the same for years.

Direct to Consumer is the way of the future, only way to protect your brand, sales numbers, and other proprietary infos.
If your point was that you can't decide for others, then asking what people would decide for others was a pretty unclear way for you to communicate that point. It seems more likely to me that you're backpedaling and can't admit you were wrong.

Unfortunately, many people are put in the situation where they do have to decide for others: loved ones who didn't leave living wills. And that decision shouldn't be made on comparing the alternatives, not just assuming we should always try to extend life as fast as possible no matter the suffering.

The idea that socialized healthcare is somehow making this a policy question is just shoehorning your political agenda into a discussion where it's irrelevant. First of all, assuming you're in the US, we don't have socialized medicine. And any reasonable implementation of socialized medicine wouldn't make this a public policy question. If anything, the capitalist medical system we actually have is forcing people to make this decision with cost in mind, rather than making the decision purely based on compassion, ethics, and what your grandmother would want. If you think your grandmother would want to be put on a ventilator, fine, but that choice may not be available to you--if there's one ventilator, you can't afford it, and someone else who wants it can afford it, it's the capitalist medical system that refused to build a second ventilator in the first place that will be deciding to give it to the other guy.
I think one of the things people over-estimate is how much evidence is used in making public health decisions.

The UKs advice is to wash hands but not to use a face mask. Hand washing is essentially free but the cost of producing reusable cotton face masks for every single person would likely be ~ £1 billion. If that is money wasted, it is still extremely small compared to the economic devastation which could cost the UK government ~ £100 billion [1] and the economy as a whole significantly more

IMO, the most fascinating thing about this report is that it exposes a fight between two groups: 1) traditional health insurance companies 2) private equity backed provider groups, both of whom would be opposed to universal single payer healthcare as a right.

It almost reads like a turf war over which industry subgroup has more right to the unusually high healthcare costs paid by Americans, driven by demand for profits from shareholders, which probably indirectly includes someone like me who has a 401k.

This fight has been going on for a very long time though. One reason (among many) that large medical provider groups started forming in the US more than a decade ago was to increase their leverage against insurance companies, who they felt were undercompensating them - small medical practices have little more leverage with insurance companies than consumers on the open insurance market. At some point these larger medical groups attracted the attention of private equity investors, who themselves demand a return on investment.

In the end it seems like the loser here is the healthcare consumer, who will pay the higher costs of this system, especially those without significant capital in for-profit healthcare related enterprises.
Associating sushi with Japan is not a racist stereotype. Sushi is a cultural part of Japan. Although this can obviously be used in a racist way.

Associating watermelon with African-Americans, or greed with Jews, is a racist stereotype.

Chinese are no more fond of bats than blacks are fond of grape juice (in fact it's worse than that as Chinese do not generally eat bats at all). This is fake news that feeds racism.

This cartoon is idiotic and racist. Publishing it on social media added another layer of stupidity. The guy rightly got immediately fired.
I don’t understand this mentality tbh. Why do you need the ability to drop into any standard install and go? Don’t you use one computer as your main machine?
The difference is aggregate vs specific data. If insurance companies use the cars' data to change their policies in aggregate, there's no problem. Meaning, if they discover that cars of a particular brand have more accidents, they can raise premiums on owners of that brand of car. On the other hand, determining that YOU drive really fast, should NOT trigger a higher premium.
I don't believe that my analogy is false, or that supplemental coverage would be allowed for the kinds of care being provided by M4A. I think perhaps a more on-the-nose analogy would be that "Netflix is not allowed to distribute anything that Apple TV is distributing or claims to distribute."

Again, I'm not making the claim that it's what's in the policy, but it's what Bernie has said, and others have echoed. Reasonable people can disagree on what policies are practicable or likely, but if you're a person who believes their health insurance might change based on those statements, then it seems like a warranted fear.
Let me know when you're volunteering to be a rat in this experiment.
Staying home has seen my phone usage drop to 1/3 of the normal, my XS Max has been lasting around 3 to 3.5 days on a single charge. My usage report shows about 2.5 hours/day of screen time, makes sense as I'm using my phone only in the mornings and late evenings.

Pretty good battery life when on low usage, I feel like trying turning on low battery mode from full charge and see how long it would last.

I don't understand why hedging against long-tail events is 'bad'. They bought large quantities of supplies, and hired a bunch of people to build them facilities which could be of benefit in the event of a catastrophe. The tradesmen doing the building were probably happy to do the work, and I am sure the supplies provided a number of manufacturing and administrative jobs. I don't see a problem; unless you think this pandemic was caused by bunker construction.

Is buying a lot of insurance also evil?
So this WebGPU stuff is pretty much a Javascript binding to Vulkan. The design is almost 1:1 identical. Good luck securing that! I find bugs in the standard Vulkan validation layer pretty regularly after it has been in development for a couple of years. Sure, some of the stuff is pretty hard to check like device memory addresses. But just this week I had the validation layer blow up spectacularly because I simply dared to give it an unrealistically high index for a vertex binding and the layer attempted to resize its internal state tracking array for vertex bindings to accomodate that.

Vulkan has another fun aspect to it: the application doesn't have full control over the layer loading mechanisms in the mandatory driver wrapper. A user's system can be configured to load arbitrary validation layers in various ways and the application cannot prevent any of that. It can only ask for more layers to be loaded. This is great for development, but it also means that browsers can't generally assume that the Vulkan API does what they think it does. There might be a little extra in there.
No specific merchants... It's just from the aggregate data from third-party merchants. And I bet that data is "anonymized" too.

Hey Hackers,
My name is Gal Ringel, and I'm the co-founder and CEO at Mine.

Mine lets you discover your digital footprint and remove your personal data from services you no longer use. So far, 40,000 users have already used our product to send more than 250,000 deletion requests to companies, in order to reduce their online exposure and keep their data safe. We make privacy regulations accessible to everyone, and help users to leave their data only where they really need it.

During March alone, we were able to save more than 5,000 users from being part of data breaches, because they deleted their data on time.

Since the Coronavirus started, we detected a spike of more than 50% in personal data exposure, which put us at risk more than ever.

We all spend more (or all) of our time at home due to quarantine instructions or personal choice and forced to move 100% of our day to day needs online. We order online instead of leaving home, preparing our emergency stock by boosting online shopping activity, and are therefore more exposed to the risk of our data being collected and used by companies and hackers.

We are here to help you reduce your online exposure and avoid potential digital risks in the future.

Would love to hear your thoughts!
How I Made a $200 MRR Mobile App Templates Business – Story of Falcon Templates
Indeed, my personal machine is a T470P (i7-7700HQ/2560x1440 and I upgarded the ram to 32GB) it's a little beast and Fedora Cinnamon is hands down my favourite host OS for development but practicially made me pick a Macbook for work since I'd be getting questions about stuff on a platform I'd never used, I like OSX generally but there are days where I still miss Linux (though iterm2 is phenomenally good, not aware of anything comparable on Linux which is a little ironic).
I don't believe this is (100%) true anymore.

I don't get it, do people expect magic? How do people think you're gonna fit all the features from a 6" phone into a device literally half the volume. Phones are already packed to the brim. When you make a smaller phone, other than the display, everything else takes the same size and uses the same amount of power.

This is the main reason phones have actually getting bigger. Not because people want huge phones, but because people want wireless charging, NFC, 3 cameras, high refresh rate, etc, and a much bigger battery to support all of those extra features.
This is me. I bought an AmazonBasics product initially, a phone cable, thinking it would be crap. It wasn't. So I bought another one, a set of HDMI cables. They weren't crap either! Then I bought AmazonBasics wash cloths as a joke. They were quite nice! Now I find myself shopping around the AmazonBasics section first. I still find it amusing in a "Spaceballs, the flamethrower!" kind of way.

Where they really screwed up was when they changed from using sugar to high fructose corn syrup. This drastically changed the taste of Coke. If you want original Coke, you can get Mexican Coke, available from many stores, which still uses sugar.

I find American coke to be an entirely different beverage, which is almost undrinkable.

I see what you are saying but prices are completely out of control precisely because an insurance company will pay a 6 or 7 digit bill.

If insurance was gone tomorrow and there was a cap on how much a single payer system would pay I am pretty sure million dollar surgeries would go down significantly in price.

I mean surgeons are paid well but a million dollars for a few hours of their labor?

Constraints on how many people are permitted to become doctor's also reinforce this issue.

The path to New Coke was quite simple, actually. Coke learned that in blind taste tests, consumers overwhelmingly preferred Pepsi to Coke, by a wide margin and repeatable across a wide range of tests. The preference was simple - Pepsi was sweeter, and in blind taste tests people overwhelmingly preferred the sweeter drink.

This hard data was seen as indicating a looming crisis and management felt the need to act and act quickly. What the data failed to show, however, was how brand aware consumers perceived the two drinks. Even though blind taste tests showed overwhelming preference for Pepsi, if you left the labels on the cans consumers overwhelmingly preferred Coke.

Coke management listened to the researchers but all parties concerned failed to understand what the research was and wasn't testing, and what conclusions one could and couldn't draw from it.
The question was and is rhetorical. People don’t inwardly digest the mistakes of others. And anthropomorphising a language? Most peculiar.

This is great. If you absolutely do not care about power efficiency, physical size, noise or reliability.

They aren't even comparable. And even if you claim to care about raw performance, I'd like to see how well that i3 does in a direct benchmark. It might not turn out the way you think it is.
They have plenty of thermal issues too, though.
Tuning queries still makes plenty of sense. Slow/expensive queries need extra infrastructure like a memory cache server or more app servers to paper over the inefficiency.

That's a bunch of added effort that might as well be spent on understanding your database. Even something simple like using materialized views can significantly increase performance of expensive queries.
Four US states permit entirely anonymous LLCs.

Definitely this policy is an improvement, but many of the worst offenders have more than sufficient resources to avoid any impact from this change. It's already the norm for political organizations to adopt entirely useless names. What's the difference between "People for the American Way" and "Citizens United?" And these are both decades-old organizations, not a modern occurrence.

Various regulations (some hinging on direct involvement in electoral advocacy) require various degrees of disclosure of funding sources and beneficial owners, but the system is uneven and often minimally enforced. In practice I expect a huge number of legal entities running advertising whose operators cannot readily be ascertained. This is already the case with groups like Metric Media Foundation where a good degree of investigative journalism was required to figure out who was pulling the strings.

> Amazon has promised individual sellers it would not use the data for their products to market against them (not individual buyers).

Again, there's that word. Individual.

They get off on a technicality with that comment to congress. The second you have even 0.05% (Your example, not mine.) of any category occupied by a second reseller, you're no longer targeting individuals -- you're entering a 'product vertical'.

Amazon does exactly what you're claiming they do not.
