I really disagree that authors have a general obligation to do anything with their code, at least as far as support is concerned. If somebody signed up formally to be a committer or made some other explicit commitment that's of course a different matter.

If there's an implicit obligation, it seems to me it's on users, not authors. If you really need something changed you should fork/fix it yourself or talk somebody else into doing it. That right is baked into every major OSS license.
Google tracks outclicks, so setting a lower price at first is a cheap enough SEO tactic.
Why? All I want is for each restaurant to have their own website (which most already do), and to have a menu, a way to place an order, and a way to enter a credit card online, or for the person who comes to my door to be able to take a credit card. I don't care about an app or centralization, or having it be the same for every business. I just want to give them my money for their food in my house. So long as it works, doesn't get in my way, and doesn't cost me 30% extra, I don't have too many preferences on how it's done.

Aren't we now past the mark to call Tesla vaporware. Musk build a legit revenue stream and for both customers and shareholders this was a very welcome change. I wonder if any of the incumbents would have a similar electric car as Tesla in 2030. They haven't moved an inch since Musk is taking their industry by storm, thats almost already 10 years. Even Audi has mayor problems manufacturing their etron.
I had excellent knowledge of Chemistry theory, but I could not for the life of me get the expected results in lab. Like, I know that you should not be able to make a battery out of a lead anode and a lead cathode in distilled water, but I did.

That sort of practicum may be a reasonable test, but could give very different results than the normal written exam.
I've spent many thousands of dollars on app-delivered food over the last few years (Foodpanda, Uber Eats, Grab Food, Lineman, and Deliveroo). I use the apps because:

- GPS tracking of the driver, and helpful notifications

- Discovery of new restaurants

- Detailed menu (and occasionally useful suggestions of menu items)

- I don't have to create a new account or fuck around with giving some restaurant my credit card

- I don't have to speak to a human

I'm hungry right now. I can pick up my phone, and in 30s, without needing to do anything other than click on the food I want to eat, in 25m I will have a human with food at my building's lobby.
Spending since then has only increased ~20%, though. [1] That is not adjusted for inflation, which since 1996 was an impressive 67.58%.

It's also 30% - 40% of the order not just a delivery fee

Both economists largely agree with your given definition, and both agree that it is flagging. They disagree on the cause and subsequent attempt to reverse the trend.
Low-status jobs are low-status because they don't really need to be filled, at least not at the current margin. Seeking a "high-status" job, for oneself or one's kids, is by and large a socially-beneficial activity.
This is a game I made so my friends and I could do something over Zoom on Saturday nights during the lockdown. It's best with Discord or Zoom for chat, but it can also be played solo or without a communication channel for the other players.

Like most of my side projects, the build started to take on a life of its own and has consumed basically all of my non-work waking hours for the past few weeks :)

It's been pretty well-tested under Chrome on Windows, iOS, and Android. There are significant known bugs under Safari and Firefox, those are next on the list.

The FAQ on the home page covers most questions I've heard from new players (you have to be logged out to see it).

It's been played by about 100 of my friends and now I'm starting to open the doors a little wider, hope some fellow film buffs here find it fun!

I've probably only used each of the major delivery apps once or twice, so I'm not representative of their customer base, but yeah, every now and then I'm having a specific day where I'm feeling that lazy (and of course driving anywhere in the bay area around dinner time is likely to take a lot longer than 10 minutes round trip). Then again I'm living in the bay area and not making anywhere near FAANG money. I can definitely see the delivery fees being negligible compared to the value of my time if I was making 2-3x my current salary.
More reason to move towards a free and open source decentralized web. Otherwise a beautiful community over a decade in the making can be obliterated by the flick of a switch of a couple money-hungry idiots wearing suits.
Ask HN: Will TypeScript end like GWT?
Basically GWT and TypeScript are cross compiled solutions to bring more type-safety to web that is dominated by JavaScript; and need to be compiled/translated to JS.
Both solutions are corporate driven, with large showcase products, Google Wave with GWT and VSCode with TypeScript. When Google Wave bite the dust so did GWT. Well, to date, it looks like that VSCode won't go anywhere.

Is there really a market for TypeScript (developers)? or do you think it will also bite the dust like GWT?
Sorry, I don't have any specific places to recommend since it's going to be very regional and vertical specific. I don't know those two particular pieces of software, but try to sell yourself less as a "neoxam expert" and more "expert in solving the business problem that Neoxam does", and focus on your accomplishments there.

I have a dim view of any "best place to work" rankings ever since I worked at one and realized that people generally pay to be on those and the numbers are juiced when HR sends emails out suggesting everyone give the company a glowing review.

And don't forget to enjoy parenthood. There are hard times, and there are great times (often concurrently). You've got a limited amount of time to enjoy the experience and to guide them to be the people this world needs. Good luck!

Not sure about that. Plumbers make a lot of money.
Meal delivery doesn't just exist because people are lazy. It has been around a long time via the much more inefficient process of calling a restaurant that you already knew about, having someone spend time with you on the phone getting your order and credit card # and then dispatching a delivery person they employed directly to deliver the order to you.

I am also 31. I live in the Midwest. I have a house, two cars, and three kids. I'm a software engineer making good but not great money, and my wife stays home with the kids.

I don't feel that this situation is uncommon around here. I make more than the majority of my friends individually, but we're probably on the lower side of the spectrum when it comes to household income, at least among my friend group.

That said, I completely agree that it used to be much easier to get a good paying job with a high school diploma or less.

I went to university. My dad graduated high school. His dad went to school through 8th grade.

There has been a significant trend towards delaying adulthood. Part of that seems to also mean delaying the ability to earn a living wage and support a family.
> we can only ever observe memories of some apparent "self"

To make a "self" we observe too many ideas, these experienced practitioners in insight meditation are simply removing those mental models and observing the simplest states. They are saving a memory of that, so when they stop meditating and go back to observing their "self" they remember they were conscious in a basic observation mode. That's all.
If the claim is that certain functions are what "generates" consciousness, then it's fair to ask whether any sort of functional arrangement will do, including writing stuff out on paper. I don't think it matters whether a billion Chinese are busy writing out 1s and 0s, or a computer is moving electrons around. None of that is conscious in my view, or at least I see no reason it would be.
Perverse incentive drives odd behaviors. People would have shipped bricks to themselves if the arbitrage warrants it.
>Society doesn't benefit from this. Low-status jobs still have to be filled, at least until technology eliminates them.

Its purely additive. Being well off doesn't mean you can't do these jobs, just that better options are available. Market forces will make the pay desirable if they are needed more than they currently are.

>This is less a thing that doctors have to do than a thing that plumbers have to do.

Sure, but it doesn't change the fact it's a good idea. I'd even argue that most blue collar jobs, in having less obligations and a more clock-in-clock-out mentality, frees up parents to spend more time with their children.
Yeah, this is pretty horrible. Many applications try to be friendly and show a Hindi webpage just because you are in India or in particular, Northern India. India has around 25 major languages, and people from all over the country work in all parts of the country, so assuming Hindi as the default language for every person currently present in North India is not correct.

Language is a sensitive issue in several parts of India. Why not be polite and ask the user for language preference first?
Yea for sure. At the same time they did acquire Whole Foods and are doing food delivery through prime. They do own the warehouses here rather than acting as couriers but I would not be surprised if they just found out the economics (especially given their strengths) to just not work out for them.
The thing that really allowed DoorDash (and UberEats) to pull ahead was investing in partnerships with chain restaurants vs focusing on independent restaurants. Which hasn't necessarily resulted int he best product
I don't buy your story either. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.
Grubhub for years were just a marketplace for customers to find food to order online / restaurants to find customers online. They'd charge a commission on order amount for fulfilling the match but the restaurant would have to deliver the food, manage their own delivery drivers etc. This is why they were profitable for years - they were a two-sided marketplace with a high commission percentage and low cost based since they didn't have any delivery costs.

DoorDash came along (after Postmates btw) and offered the same marketplace, but with delivery drivers too (a three-sided marketplace) - so that a restaurant didn't need to employ delivery drivers. This meant a higher cost base for DoorDash, lower for the restaurant, but similar commission fees. The simplicity of offering online marketplace ordering and delivery was very enticing for restaurants not wishing to manage this themselves, hence DoorDash's huge rise in market share, at the cost of Grubhub's over the last 2 years.

Grubhub has now for the past 3 years been busy spinning up delivery in its markets but is way behind DoorDash and Uber Eats. They have also admitted to falling behind in their Q3 2019 announcement[1] to the new competition (their late admission caused their stock to drop 43% in 1 day on the earnings announcement), and started also spinning up the non-partner side of the marketplace (adding restaurants without an agreement in place) to give customers more to order from (this is what Postmates then DoorDash pioneered). This is why they've started hemorrhaging cash and became loss making.

I'm struggling to follow your comment. I said real-world data have patterns and aren't completely random, so you can in general expect branch predictors to help (unless, obviously, your data is actually known to be random like in the example). You rebutted with "because load balancers evenly spread their key space, you will frequently find that your inputs can be guaranteed random", as if that somehow contradicts the point I was making...? It's also clearly not true that it's "highly likely" your data has "no branch-predictability" just because "you don't already have metadata attached to it asserting it's sorted"... right? That's not only both obviously not the case on its own, but also, why would you even sort data that's already guaranteed to be sorted? I can't make sense of this, so I feel like we must be speaking past each other somehow? But I'm confused how.
> I do wonder why there isn't an API for "lazy munmap()"

You don't really need a separate API. The kernel can implement munmap() lazily, it just needs to also ensure that the address range isn't reused until a TLB shootdown is completed. LATR is a system that leverages this to implement lazy TLB shootdowns for munmap(): http://www.cs.yale.edu/homes/abhishek/kumar-asplos18.pdf
My grandfather (still alive) had his Polish village burned down and he found himself doing forced labor in Germany during WWII at the age of 14. Not only was there not much to return to, the borders were redrawn and his previous hometown wasn't even in a country that he held citizenship in.

He came to the US and worked in the forges for Falk in Milwaukee. He didn't speak English, but he worked hard, lived responsibly, and paid for the education of his two children. My dad became an electrical engineer, and my uncle got a doctorate in veterinary medicine and owned a clinic. Going a generation further, me and all my siblings have college degrees from great schools. This whole story plays out from 1940 to the present day.

I'm just trying to understand where it is that my family got lucky, and why I should feel sour about this country and the opportunities it gave us. Where else on Earth is this possible? How did we get so lucky, and why is everyone so sure that it wasn't just that we worked hard and had the right priorities?

Good to know. My 2011 Honda has 61k on it, battery life has been a concern in an EV as I picture my next car sitting around on-and-off for a decade or two again. This one smelt new until a few years ago. My iPhone SE has around 15% degradation, for comparison. I like The Volt’s onboard generator approach, feels robust. Hopefully another while to think about it, as cost of maintaining a 9 year old/61k mi car is pretty good still.
True. But that industry already has a duopoly with very strong network effects. Food delivery is extremely fragmented and it looks as if there's no one actually doing it profitably.
> See for example the Commerce Clause that explicitly grants the Congress the power to regulate interstate trade, yet it is used as a basis to justify intrastate regulations (e.g. drug prohibition).

If anyone is curious, this is due to Wickard v. Filburn (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wickard_v._Filburn), a very unfortunate Supreme Court decision made in 1942. This decision was cited as precedent in Gonzales v. Raich (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonzales_v._Raich)
Uh, what? There's no "convergence in global equity[sic]". See https://inequality.org/facts/global-inequality/

Inequality is rapidly increasing, and the speed of the spread is accelerating.

And given that housing still accounts for somewhere between 20% and 45% especially for the lowest income quintile, yes, owning a house makes a huge difference.[1]

I respect you have a different opinion, but if it's contradicting available data I'd appreciate a source for that belief.
I like this idea.

My first 'career job' came from an interview invite generated from a referral from a friend. I was an on and off college student not sure what to do with myself. I figured I would do the interview as practice for when it counted later in life.

So I just was myself and winged it... got a job offer the next day.
Natural philosophy and alchemy were names for science before science. Alchemy had a connotation of being very ceremonial; knowledge had to spread by group gatherings and word of mouth.

Cutting edge science today would have been called alchemy historically. Artificial intelligence, gene editing, etc. Fortunately scientists have a pretty good reputation now, where alchemists of the past had to research and convene in secret.
How is any of this information supposed to secure anything? Name, birth date, address, etc are all public record or essentially public record. The only "secret" piece of information is the SSN, which is (a) public for almost all Americans and (b) specifically forbidden for being used as an identification number.
Got it, this makes a ton of sense, and explains why Grubhub was able to do the impossible, make money.
I wasn't saying he was right but that ultimate cause and blame is not pointed at him. Much like the role IBM and BMW played when helping the Nazis. (Not that I think the US IC is anywhere near as bad).
Of course there is no evidence available to you that anything is special about my consciousness. And vice versa.

Are you a solipsist or not? If you don't believe in the consciousness of other beings, I can hardly argue with that on rational grounds, but you can't disbelieve in your own consciousness.
I thought that, but I also thought it would be borderline impossible to prove.
I'd rather not. It's an infinite well of the misery, pointlessness, nihilism and bitterness I alluded to. It's one of the saddest places on the internet, especially because of the way they revel in their sadness and suffocate one another in it, rather than fighting against it towards a life of purpose, joy, respect and spiritual fulfilment that they will otherwise never know.
Factories were included in the original list.
I do suspect their focus on logistics and having an existing network would make it easier for them than others. They are doing food delivery through Amazon Fresh and also have been hiring contractors to do package delivery. Food, of course, has it's own constraints but compared to many they would be in a decent spot.
Fine tuning being setting max charge 55% and never going below 45%.

The original comment said "Detroit has more murders than New York, Los Angeles and Chicago combined".

They also said "Detroit, the city with the most violent crime per capita in the US"

These statements are false. Chicago has more murders than Detroit. St. Louis has a higher murder rate than Detroit. The person you are commenting on is correct.
Yeah, that's the really wonderful thing about Couchsurfing. It's a whole web of beautiful trust. People in the first world are scared of strangers by default: Couchsurfing flips that on its head. Although I still try to stay safe, I now generally trust strangers and it's made my life so much richer.

Paradoxically, trusting strangers has also made my life safer.

In Armenia, I met an old woman who then helped me get through a dangerous area and told me not to worry - she'd protect me like her own grandson :) In another country, I made friends with an army officer who watched over me, and somewhere else a truck driver helped me through a tough border crossing.

People also seem to be scared of that one crazy person who'll stab or rob them. Here's one thing I realized: even the "bad" members of society are not bad to everyone. A mugger doesn't mug his friends and many murderers have been loving parents. Getting to know someone - aside from being interesting - means they'll see you as another human being, not some target. (Most of the time. Of course, always use your judgment, and if something feels off, just leave.)

I hope CS gets reborn. Who knows, it might happen - maybe they'll run out of cash, put the site up for sale, and someone will rebuild it as it should be. Or maybe the current leadership will do a 180 (unlikely, but who knows!)
I agree fully with your comment above. I'm glad I live in a region with a mask order, though compliance among non-Asians here is hit or miss. That kind of difference (which I guess isn't quite environmental; in an earlier comment I'd included "pre-existing behavioral", which I should have here) has made life easier for the Japanese government and harder for the American one--again, not to excuse the late and confused mask messaging from the USA, just to say that even with early and clear messaging the USA would probably still have had lower and less competent mask use than Japan.

I certainly don't mean to suggest we shouldn't be trying our best ideas to control the virus, even if we're not sure whether they'll work or why. I just don't like the idea of low death counts as conclusive evidence that whatever a government is doing is good, especially to the extent it lets authoritarians that have seen low death counts (for reasons related or unrelated to their response) like China promote their models to the rest of the world.
Why don't you go to Nigeria and find out.

For starters there's no evidence that people claiming their working environment is unsafe are actually being refused unemployment benefits by the state. But the state does have the power to do that, so let's operate on the hypothetical scenario that this has occurred.

Your question is actually "how does the state justify setting minimum safety standards for work places?", because your criticism applies to any and all scenarios where they choose to do so. Most people would agree that minimum safety standards should be defined, and that the state is usually the best party to handle that. But what if people think the state hasn't done a good enough job? Well people are entitled to think anything they like, for any reason at all. Some people think that the state is delinquent in allowing for coronavirus-causing 5G cell towers to be built. Just because somebody thinks something, doesn't mean it has any merit. For somebody's thoughts to be taken seriously, they are usually expected to provide some sort of rational basis for having them. So far you have provided no basis at all, rational or otherwise, for believing that the CA EDD has failed to make reasonable judgements about workplace safety in relation to COVID-19. If you're not capable of doing that, then your assertion that people are being forced to choose between receiving unemployment benefits and their own personal safety, is completely without merit.
