And on this note, I was talking with my neighbor yesterday and he's having a related issue that only became an issue when Amazon enacted this covid-response policy. It used to be that it didn't particularly matter if your products were accurately mapped into Amazon's categories as long as they were searchable. Now, however, Amazon is refusing to ship (or receive FBA stock) for non-essential categories. My neighbor is a shoe salesman for a brand that has a full medical & industrial line ... but they weren't tagged into medical equipment categories at Amazon so he can't ship replenishment inventory. Amazon isn't allowing these mapping adjustments to be made at all right now for fear of abuse.

Also, when FBA stock depletes, sellers have the individual option of whether to direct ship or not. Some are, and some are using expedited shipping, but others are either not shipping at all or are using the cheapest freight possible.
It's pretty odd behavior, yeah. It's easy to work around (set the default to None and then set the actual default in the function body), but I don't know if I've _ever_ seen anyone want it to behave as it does now.

My daughter is in preschool but she still has 10 zoom meetings a week plus extra activities to do. Both my wife and I are working full time which means she will occasionally miss a zoom meeting, and she rarely does the extra activities.

Luckily it doesn’t matter much since she’s in preschool. The only thing she really gets out of it is that she gets to see her teachers and friends.

I don’t know how people who work full time and have multiple kids in school manage to do it. I’m exhausted and we have it relatively easy. My heart goes out to all the single parents out there!!
Some museums try to do that. It's not a very well-regarded practice.
...which makes it really a shame when people use it, since it fragments the commons -- you can't combine it with CC-BY-SA content.

For anyone considering, please just use by-sa. The share-alike requirement is probably enough to discourage the exploitative type of commercial use you probably want to avoid.

There's a school of thought that because digital goods have no cost per additional unit created, that they will always tend towards being free in a free market. Hence, the only way to get people to pay for a digital good is to have a monopoly.

I made something very similar in college many years ago too.

It's a fun project, but it's not really a business, unless you can make something unique and clearly express what it is. As a visitor to your web page, I can't tell that.

That's not a reason to stop -- we all had failed businesses at some point and you learn a lot -- but you do need to clearly articulate the value and what you're going for.

Another (free) option: If you are doing things that only require audio bandwidth, you can construct any arbitrary function generator in VCVrack and send it through the audio output. You can trivially do fm modulation, wavetable synthesis, frequency domain and phase shift synthesis, etc. A push/pull follower made from 2 transistors, an opamp, and a pot for adjustable gain would probably be a good addition. You can also use standard midi (see rs232) messages and audio inputs to control modulation etc.

Edit: also wanted to mention the python-rtmidi library, which can construct virtual midi interfaces. It synergizes nicely when used as a control interface.
Target and Walmart are not platforms. Amazon isn't the only company selling consumer goods in general (for now), but they are the only online-seller platform in their category. Shopify exists, and Ebay exists, etc., but people wouldn't put up with stuff like in the OP if those platforms served their needs.
It’s not a function generator. It’s a software person having a first stab at what they think a function generator is, and then discovering that it’s more complicated and harder than they realised.

It’s a first step in a learning project, not a product. They say as much in the article.

Well, the answer is equal because of how you define equality of infinite sets (one-to-one and onto). It's a very useful definition, but it's hardly the only possible definition.

One problem with this maxim is that all nefarious code would also be open-sourced. Would you really want every subversive tool also openly available? One could argue that the inner workings of a car engine or music box are "closed source," yet there is no imperative on releasing detailed schematics with every unit.
Not baking, but I've recovered data from spinning hard drives after freezing them, on a couple of occasions. The last one required keeping it in a cooler full of ice, because the data transfer was so slow that it would stop once thawed.
When my mother's smartphone wouldn't boot anymore, I took it apart and put the main board in the oven for a while. It worked perfectly fine again for a week or so. I repeated the procedure a few times, until her new one arrived.

No idea why it works though, or why it only lasts a week.
Yeah, it was a classic characteristic of the G84 series of GPUs from Nvidia (8400M GS in the XPS M1330 I owned was one). The Ball-Grid Array solder would crack in a heat/cold cycle and so you'd effectively get an open circuit. By baking it, the solder would reflow and close the circuit again.

>public education seeks homogenized outcomes

I'm not so sure it's actively seeking homogenized outcomes so much as prioritizing getting (most) students through at some fairly unambitious level over doing the most they can for top achievers even if that means lots of others get left behind.

> I don't tend to spend any longer than 5 minutes preparing.

If you've got more candidates than you need and you suspect the most people will probably be good enough, then why bother spending more? If you're looking for the very best people and want to impress them, you're going to have to spend more time.

Start by honestly evaluating what case you fall into. Many people think they're the second case but aren't. Very few roles require the very best people.

The way I prepare when I want to impress someone is to start with broad questions and then prepare multiple follow up questions based on their response. Go a few levels deep if you can. Also be ready with different levels of hints if they get stuck on a question.

Also anticipate their questions and their follow ups. Do this by reviewing questions your last batch of interviewees asked. Pretend they're interviewing you instead of the other way around. Be ready with explanations of what you hope they'll accomplish in 1 week, 1 month, 1 quarter, 1 year. Be ready to sell your company/team compared to what else might be out there.

I generally spend an hour preparing for each candidate I interview in person. But I work at a small company where every hire is more impactful and we don't hire that often.

I think that's a very simplistic view of ethics. Most things are not that black and white. Proprietary licensing is the most successful funding model we've found so far for software. And that funding doesn't just make some people rich (though it certainly does that); it also pays for lots of developers to do things that often don't get done in less well-funded projects. Yes, some vendors abuse the power that proprietary licensing gives them, but not all do. So I think this specific issue is a lot less clear-cut than you and other free-software advocates make it out to be.
The most valuable and scarce resource for many parents right now is time. Even parents who theoretically have "time" due to a recent layoff or furlough are under stress of trying to apply for various benefits while paying the bills somehow, so the task of organizing their kids' home academic schedule is just daunting, leaving aside the issues of lack of internet access or computers.

It was challenging for me and my spouse, despite both having jobs that switch to WFH and flexible schedules, plenty of computers, and internet access.
Every couple of years someone will jump out of nowhere and claim the wind energy sector has it all wrong, the list is very long. Windtree, Makani and many many others that replace simple and sturdy as well as well understood mechanisms with highly variable and fragile ones, usually without having studied the corpses of those that came before and died on the hill of unnecessary complexity. The closest that ever came to realization was the Darrieus rotor project in Canada, that consumed a ton of resources and resulted in the Aeolian (Eole?), a huge (100m, I've seen it up close before they tore it down, most impressive) VAT that ended up running for a couple of hours before its lower main bearing gave up the ghost under the vibrations.

Wind turbines are hard, and the standard shape that we've settled on was not due to a lack of creative ideas but simply because it is by far the simplest and most robust shape that gets the job done.

Any company pitching some complex alternative should at a minimum mention in their deck the degree to which they have researched the failures in the field of predecessors and what will set them apart.
> I don't understand what part of my comment made you think I'm cold to their struggles.

As I said, it's the minimizing choice of language and your choice to ignore a grammatical error.

> I'm not the one mentally replacing at the expense of with in contrast to.

As I said before you're ignoring the grammatical errors in that sentence and paraphrasing to suit your argument.

> GP said and I quote, "at the expense of the rich",

That isn't what was said. The full quote:

> I'm only worried that the lockdown is going to significantly affect the poorer communities worse at the expense of richer folks.

Which is grammatically incorrect and doesn't make sense. However given the context and the structure of the sentence it's hard to draw the conclusion that you did. Rather, it's more likely the op mean to say something like:

> I'm only worried that the lockdown is going to significantly affect the poorer communities worse than richer folks.

But some how you've interpreted it to mean that the richer are willing to accept some self harm if it means harming poor communities?

It probably works because heating whatever lubricant remains in the spindle bearing lowers its viscosity enough to allow the motor to spin it up, which will in turn keep the lube warm enough to allow it to form a film. Not the same mechanism, surely, but a similar one.

But on the flip-side, I have so little trust that Amazon will actually send me exactly what I ordered that I'll look to direct sellers whenever possible when the details matter. Just last week I didn't do this when ordering 4 identical wrought iron brackets to mount bird feeders around the yard. I received 4 separate shipments -- 2 FBA, 2 from sellers directly -- container 3 of the item I wanted and 1 of a similar but different item.

I can also order groceries online from Safeway and either get it delivered or do curb-side pickup from my local store.
Not everyone has laptops, and the school may not have the resources to provide devices. Zoom is one thing, but doing any serious learning on a phone is difficult - and that's assume the parent is OK with letting the child use theirs for a large part of the day.
My daughter says the same, but today in a play she requested a phone for her next birthday.
As other have pointed out, one particularity of this hashtag is that it was already heavily used: https://twitter.com/search?q=%23maythe4th%20until%3A2020-03-...

Obviously Disney won't use any tweet sent previous to yesterday, but any one of those persons could have used the hashtag again today without having the faintest clue of what Disney claimed.
I think eventually it will break itself. Sellers facing such risks will add a significant premium for selling there. Also, even tho you are called a seller and bear all the risks, you do not even see the customer's address (for FBA orders). Meaning it is not seller's customer, it is an Amazon customer. So you are not building business, you are taking advantage of the temporal situation. In the long term such seller would build their own sustainable business and Amazon would become just one of channels, expensive one tho. As businesses expand other less risky channels, and 3PL solutions offer similar shipping service to prime, Amazon will no longer be a place to get a good price. And it is already often not a good place for trusted reviews or genuine products. Too bad some sellers like us who bought in, will be collateral damage in the process.
It is of an entirely different level of complexity.
No to be harsh, but this is largely useless.

The biggest issues with in-app licensing is

(1) Binding licensing to the machine (or the user!)

(2) Making sure that your licensing check can't be NOP'ed by a l33r haxxor within 5 minutes of the release.

Tangential to that is (3) which is an ability to tolerate minor changed to the machine and OS reinstalls without invalidating the license.

(1) and (3) aren't hard to solve, just need to decide which machine/OS properties a license should be to "latched on". Popular choices are MACs, HDD serials (from the ATA IDENTIFY block), SMBIOS IDs, MachineGuid on Windows, etc. Better yet, it's not a bad idea to bind to a _set_ of machine properties and then tolerate a change of _some_.

(2) is a domain of its own. Basically that's an anti-reverse-engineering task. It's not terribly hard to roll out something on your own, but you do need to know what typical hacks look like. From exe patching to process training / API hooking, there is a substantial learning curve, but it's a quite interesting one.

That is the biggest part of any "license key verification" is not the actual "license key verification", but rather all the nuances that make sure it actually works as designed and doesn't affect users' experience in normal-use cases.
Sure, but the big lectures (mostly) aren't the draw--it's the smaller seminars. An extra person would definitely stick out in a room of 10!

The problem is that homeschooling and schooling in a classroom environment are two fundamentally different things. Tasking parents with mimicking a school environment and school schedule at home is a recipe for failure that teaches parents that they can’t teach their kids.

We have been homeschooling our eldest son for a year now and can never imagine going back to full time school. It has brought an immense amount of freedom and bonding to our family, not to mention an incredible amount of life experience for him with various activities (grocery shopping, museums, parks, hikes, etc). However, it was miserable to start primarily because we tried to mimic the exact school environment and schedule at home; a complete disaster! Schools are designed to teach a large amount of children; parents and homes are designed to teach individual children.

Would you use an entire cafeteria kitchen to cook lunch for your kids?
Reminds me of Ada++
I find the "socialization" argument to be one of the weakest, honestly. Being able to "socialize" in a group of, say, second-graders with one teacher to 25 students is probably worse than useless; it's a pathologically bad socialization environment for spreading bad habits and incorrect expectations created only by the schooling environment in the first place. Unless you become a second-grade teacher, it'll never come up again, and you should actively not use a lot of the socialization skills you "learned" in that environment. While better than literally sitting in a room by yourself, I can't rate it above much else, and "sitting in a room by yourself" is not actually the alternative on offer. (After all, the parents aren't going to be able to stand that either, except in extremely pathological cases which are going to be pathological no matter what.)

If the schools were set up more like Montessori schools, this argument against homeschooling would carry a lot more weight. Age-based cohorts are pathologically bad environments, and if you look at history as a whole, a bizarre exception to the normal human environment. If it wasn't for the fact that the people arguing happened to grow up in that environment and thereby consider it normal, despite how abnormal it actually is, nobody would be arguing it's a good idea.

Yup. I can only get Spectrum in my apartment, the fastest plan available is claimed to be 100mbps and doesn't hit anywhere close to that in reality, throttles aggressively. 4G coverage is pretty shit here in LA too. Crappy coverage, slow, and drops the connection all the time.

My options are deal with this, move, or have no internet. Internet provider choices will weigh heavily when I'm apartment hunting after this lease.
I hope they do this even without a "next time". I have 2 kids in school and keeping up with the communication channels is an absolute nightmare even in good times. The district has a website for their school, the school has its own independent website, some teachers have their own Wix website, the PTA has a website, there are at least 2 or 3 "information portals" provided by the district, different email platforms, etc, etc. And when a kid moves on to the next grade or next school, much of this resets. Unless you have a stay at home parent managing the information, you're lucky if you find out about just the major issues...forget all the daily/weekly things you need to keep up with.
