I think it's clear to see that corporate real estate is going through a paradigm shift. Before this crisis, I remember Stripe was having a lot of trouble finding a big enough space in SF before deciding to move to South SF. What if Stripe just didn't have a big office and expected most of their base to work from home?

What isn't clear to me is what happens to residential real estate. Sure, some of us, who would prefer to live in suburbs out where it's cheaper, or maybe in comitted relationships with kids would prefer that. But I don't think the the group of people who are maybe single, or prefer the recreational aspect of living around people in a city would go away. There's a balance which isn't immediately clear to me. If more people exit the city, does this effectively reverse a lot of the gentrification we are seeing and sharply stop growth? Or if it goes the other way does the city become more exclusive for those who want to live there?
I worked on a ~3 month remote project with people in timezones +6 and +12 hours ahead, which is arguably the worst configuration of timezones. Yet, we indeed found a way to make it work (and in fact I have some fond memories, though I doubt it was sustainable). The worst part was the project manager insisting on daily 7am standup calls (spoiler alert: I was not actually standing for these absurd calls).
Yes, that is not how Android works.

You are not allowed to ship drivers like that, and since version 7, there is kernel validation about stable NDK APIs.

So yeah just because there is an OpenCL SDK for Mali, doesn't mean that a random Android device with Mali will have the drivers or kernel support in place, because that isn't something that Android requires.

Google has collaborated with Adobe in porting their OpenCL shaders to Vulkan.

If they actually cared, they would have made OpenCL available instead.
Wow... I used to watch a youtuber clean his tools with a bottle labeled as "Isopropyl Alcohol, AKA IPA" I always thought he was making fun of IPAs as in the beer style. I feel so dumb hahaha x_x
Interesting point about why does being a contractor vs employee have to be binary? Couldn't there be a third option for gig workers where employees have flexible hours with progressive benefits e.g. pension + sick days after working a certain amount

This opinion would be adorable if it wasn't so dangerous. Every major area in the USA outside NYC and Washington is still growing in cases. It hasn't nearly peaked.
Sorry. My bad.
I don’t see UberEats mentioned in OPs profile. Best not to accuse people of shilling.
Not really a big deal, but when viewed in a dark environment I seem to be noticing the triangles more strongly than before. Maybe make them hollow?

Also extremely minor to the point of being negligible, I notice in Firefox on a 1200 pixel monitor the bottom row displayed is 30 and I roughly cut in half while standard (actual) HN row 30 is about 2 pixels above the bottom.

Is there a discussion page demo, but with actual discussion?
Copyright is automatic. You don't need a notice, you own the copyright as soon as it's fixed into a tangible medium – basically when you hit save. It can confer some advantages in some countries if you sue somebody for copyright infringement. Are you planning on doing that rather than simply forcing a takedown if somebody copies your website? No? Then don't bother.

Being realistic, you see copyright notices on websites because people see them elsewhere and assume they are necessary and add them to their own sites without thought. Then other people see those notices and assume the same thing. It's a vicious circle. Lots of people copying others who don't know what they are doing.

It's why every year on New Year's Day you get a bunch of people going "It's 20xx, update your footers!" and more people saying you should just automatically show the current year. The copyright notice isn't there to tell you what the current year is – everybody knows what the current year is – it's there to tell you what year the work was first published.
How much are those condos? Thanks.
I don't work fro UberEats (or any delivery company), but I do work for a company in the local rest space. Uber Eats margins are just as thin as the restaurants. a round trip delivery might take 40 mins. Everyone's margins are super thin.
You're missing one thing - a restaurant is more then the delivery of food to a plate.

Just because they can have food made for food delivery services, doesn't mean it will be the best choice for regular customers.

Where restaurants compete with food delivery is by being in a physical location that people seek to have an experience. Or a quick stop on a car ride. Or a fast snack near work.

For some restaurants food delivery simply won't work.
DoorDash probably offers the company a discount on everything as well for the volume.
Work in progress: an application that helps you learn the pronunciation of Hebrew words - https://costineest.github.io/hebrew
I find the twitter thread to be specially sad, since I see a lot of people genuinely try to explain that compile times/familiar syntax are more important to them, but the author seems adamant that they just don't know what modern tech is and they should learn the "right" approach.
I think that's about the size of it. This seems like a "bad deal" to restaurants because they aren't really thinking of the problem correctly. Restaurants view having to sell a meal via GrubHub as selling a discounted meal, because the customer pays menu price but the delivery service charges a fee. So the restaurant makes less cash than they would to serve the same food to a table.

And the reason they think this is that when customers used to order "takeout", they'd still pay full price and the restaurant would keep all of it. So it feels like they've lost something.

But that's all wrong, because takeout used to be "improperly" (per a market analysis) marked up. Serving takeout is cheaper: no need for tables and dishes and servers. Lots of restaurants have known this forever and prioritized their takeout business, and done very well.

But now those savings are all being eaten up by another party that is providing useful improved services to the customer, and restaurants don't like it. Well... I guess I wouldn't either, but what they're complaining about isn't so much unfair competition than it is (heh) the elimination of what for them used to be a free lunch.

The market will re-equilibrate. It always does. But yeah, until it does the distribution of changes will not be fair. It never is.
Many restaurants are asking for a flat-fee alternative, similar to the Shopify model for e-commerce. Whoever brings this to market will win the restaurant owners. And then does the consumer loyalty lie with the app or the restaurant? I.e., would I rather order from restaurants on my favorite app or from my favorite restaurant, regardless of the app? Probably the latter, but who knows!
If I lose money because of a buggy contract, will the developers trigger a hard fork for me, or is it just the DAO who gets that consideration?
Literally nothing in that article supports your argument.

2 million people have tested positive - most of them probably did not contract it at work.
The question I keep asking myself is, if Domino’s can be their own delivery system and now most restaurants are 100% delivery why can’t they do the same thing?

I was, a long time ago, a delivery driver for Little Caesar’s and it seemed to work out for everyone without any technology to speak of.

EDIT: I am aware of the three party optimization problem for food delivery services. In housing seems to simplify that problem immensely given there is no /fourth/ party trying to optimize it from the outside and take a cut in the process.
Excuse the incivility, but no.

I'm amazed that Chipotle hasn't packaged it's online ordering app and licensed it to other restaurants. I've never used such a streamlined, polished, and convenient way to make an order for pickup or delivery.
Agreed. These people aren't really interested in the facts or science. They have a conclusion. Everything else is a pseudoscientific veneer that gets them back to that conclusion.

Further down on this thread (after much goalpost moving and mischaracterization of facts), asabjorn has all but completely abandoned his/her initial assertions: that he/she opposed lockdowns because they are ineffective. It's now about "freedom, 1A and 2A".

Old asabjorn: >most states are now open or are reopening. We are not seeing spikes in coronavirus cases

New asabjorn: >I never claimed no reopened state will see some increases in covid cases, some do and some don't

I had to push really hard through all of his/her contortions to extract this and other concessions.

But, remarkably, this person just kept right on moving as if his/her entire argument wasn't based on the effectiveness of the lockdown. Then, went on to talk about tyranny and fighting for our freedom.
Is three-sided in reference to the delivery couriers as a group, or the aggregator food delivery app? Clearly, the remaining two parties would be the restaurant and the hungry customer.
I'm not even working on a company xD
People appear to be forgetting how horrible food delivery was pre-UberEats/DoorDash et al. It was horrible and the food was always cold. Once they started doing food delivery it was a game changer. My food arrived hot enough that I had to wait sometimes but almost always pleasantly warm. To me, it’s worth paying the fees, especially since I don’t have to spend time going out, waiting, driving back. When I go for In’n’out these days, it’s almost an hour spent in total. I would rather pay fees and a tip to get someone to bring it to me.

And quite honestly, without food delivery most of these restaurants would be dead anyway so they really should be thankful. There’s no way they could coerce enough customers to drive down, find parking and wait while they expose themselves to COVID just for a meal.

Ask HN: Switching Jobs at 50
I realize my time is up at the company I'm working for. I've been through numerous downsizes, layoffs and outsourcing over the last 20 years. I understand that my time will come because I'm a number no matter how hard I work. Honestly I'm tired of the game and want to get out before I get axed. I want to get a job where people care about what they do and software is a product not a cost center. Should I even apply at start ups? Has any one here managed to get a better job at the age of 50? What are the realistic expectations that I should have for myself?
exactly this,

one cause of vitamin D deficiency is the overuse of sunscreen

sunscreen should be used as protection against sunburn, but not put on all the time in every instance

be outside, stop lathering yourself with sunscreen and get natural, low continuous levels of vitamin D.

supplements may be better than nothing but they far from providing you with the same dose and availability of vitamin D
There is a custom search engine called Newgle.xyz that only shows results from the 1000 or so new gTLDs (new top level domains).

It’s custom google search results, but since it’s excluding .com, .net, .org etc then you probably won’t see any of the large sites there.

It’s also interesting to see which sites have been built in the last few years, as the new gTLDS haven’t been around that long.
Listening to Samuel Pepys doesn't give me a deep dive into history but it goes go wide in a way reading the Wiki entry for the great fire of london does not. That information is compressed does not mean it is more useful. Suppose there is a second great fire or flooding - I believe locating friends with secure lodgings to store consumer goods would come immediately to mind after listening to Pepys but this would not occur by just having read the wiki.
Grubless et.al can charge as high as 30% for just order and payment processing, delivery through their network is extra.
Apps are doing well because they are solving a real problem — translating restaurants’ abysmal web sites, PDF menus, and awful online ordering experiences to apps that “just work”. If restaurants put any effort at all into fixing those things, there would not be such a strong demand for apps.

Obviously this is different for different restaurants, and the skill set needed to run a restaurant is vastly different from running an e-commerce site, but just like they need to figure out how to do taxes and read lease agreements, online presence is a necessary thing in 2020.

As for contributing to existing projects, I hear you — I've been highly active in Open Source for well over a decade. Conceptually, the closest thing to what I want to do is Pure Data — and I have in fact contributed to it.

But I'm also extremely motivated and willing to go all the way down and write the entire thing from scratch if I have to. Or to learn enough about every last step in the chain that I can actually control for latency — and it may be that it takes about the same amount of work. Finding numbers I can trust on latency seems hopeless. Everybody fudges rather than fails.
This may be true for the flu, but the coronavirus has much more potential to overload the hospital system, and as it would kill an order of magnitude more people, the economy has to be stopped to save them.

The cartridges really were buried in the desert. They dug them up a few years ago.
Foodora was extremely popular here in Toronto, you’d see the bike delivery people all over the place and they signed up tons of restaurants but they just shut down citing the margins simply not making sense for the business.

It didn’t help that a month before shutting down a group of workers unionized in Ontario, and further threw a wrench in a terribly low margin business and now none of them have a job and the entire city is stuck using Uber

Note: Foodora only shut down their Canadian business, not their European one.

Foodora had acquired Hurrier which was our other homegrown food delivery service here in Toronto, which is obviously no longer an option either. They too were struggling with margins, which I know from speaking to people who worked there.
FYI you would not have to pay cap gains on your primary residence. But yes, I feel the same way. I’m stuck in a starter house because I couldn’t easily get back in the market.

Why should't the default dark mode fulfill basic contrast requirements (in this case WCAG AA is absolutely possible)? It's not difficult to achieve, and the same problem would exist if the website was in "dark mode" by default.

The size of the file is a red herring. Has the work been done to analyze and test the subroutines? How many lines are intricate logic, and how many are embedded data? How prevalent are references to global variables across subroutines? Are the global variables used as constants? How much is new code, and how much is code that has produced robust results for years?
You're right regarding the incentives, but the functional part i.e. "your basics are taken care of" is very close. I'd expect the effects that are promised with UBI ("people will learn more new things, people will volunteer more because they don't have to worry about making rent") to happen with the current system, as you don't have to worry about food, medicine or rent (to a degree, if you're living alone in a 100sqm flat, they will ask you to move to a more appropriate place after a few months. I suppose the same would happen with UBI, only you wouldn't be asked to, you just can't afford it)
Definitely. What if I want to research information on a certain 1989 student protest to write a paper about censorship?

I am, at least partially, via progressive inheritance tax.

Improving the chances for success for your offspring is an innate desire, removing the ability will affect people's motivation to contribute beyond a certain point. A tax on inheritances will allow you to improve your children's life while removing the wealth if a family chooses not to work for a few generations, thus motivating contribution beyond "I exist and I inherited money".
AWS is Amazon's most profitable division.

Amazon Studios would be the same business model as any other independent TV/film production company.

Amazon marketplace operates on very slim margins to stay competitive, but it's hard to believe it couldn't be profitable on its own. Maybe it would have to settle for slightly less universal domination.

Many businesses make money by exclusively selling through Amazon, so there's no reason they couldn't spin off a profitable business that sells Amazon Basics and whatever other store brands they produce.

Whole Foods is obviously a viable business.

I doubt Ring was profitable but it was clearly capable of getting VC money on its own. If it can't be a viable business, why did they start it? And why did VCs invest in it?

Twitch was profitable before acquisition.
I can't be sure, but I imagine this would be offset by the productive segment of the older population who die from the virus. Older workers are valuable because often they have the widest experience and are best able to train others.
The industry in the US is ridiculous. In a different country my friends run a newish (7 months?) cafe where they aren't on any apps. Instead you can send them a facebook message or call, and they will dispatch a shipper to you. They will then send one of their baristas who aren't busy, or if necessary they've built up a list of delivery drivers who like to hangout near their restaurant, they "sell" the food to the shipper, and then the shipper is in charge for collecting payment to compensate themselves.

The restaurant loses some money because they have to pay for take out containers instead of being able to use a reusable plate, but they're not having 30% taken from them. I guess it helps that their customer base is those who probably aren't going to try to pull a fast one on the restaurant (one that caters to foreigners) but I don't think screwing over delivery people is very ingrained in the culture eitherway.
This is one of the reasons why marketplaces that took the place in customer interaction make most of the money and the supplier(restaurant) is poorly paid. Getting in between the customer and the supplier can put you on the top of the food chain.
I never had a problem with delivery before the VCs started trying to make bank off it
...and yet it was always extremely difficult to get a job there, and they paid the best. ...that's literally how you attract the best talent.

...so you, they were arrogant. Maybe some portion of that was earned?
Calcanis is framing this as a victory for globalization: create a global rat race to employ people all over the world in their homes, pay them less money and have them eat the costs of eating, heating etc.
Many businesses already attempt to operate in this way, with massive outsourcing of just about everything. These same companies are often heavily financialized and some are zombie companies today in the current economic reality.
The reality is that it takes a huge effort to get a good collaborative team of people to work together well on multiple levels. It takes even more effort to keep morale and momentum up. It only takes a few poisonous office politics players to wreck the above.

Good analysis on the economics of takeout vs. eat-in. Hence the rise of ghost kitchens which are losing the storefront and all the overhead that goes with it - cutlery, tables, servers etc.

Grubless et.al are really a discovery platform. Once the customer acquisition happens - restaurants need to move to own the customer relationship. There is so much low-haning fruit there - repeat sales, meal subscriptions, boxed lunches.....
