I personally use Google Chrome with the duckduckgo search engine. Duckduckgo is not perfect, very in depth searches (such as gameboy advance memory layout only return junk, while google knows you are searching for a nich) but on your average search it is as good as google, somethimes better because it is more factual and will promote less webstores. When it does not give me what im looking for I can add !g anywhere in the question and the same search is done using google.

Then I use Violentmonkey an open source js/css injector to inject this user script: https://greasyfork.org/nl/scripts/1682-google-hit-hider-by-d... This will block specific domains for you in google, yahoo, duckduckgo etc. I use this to block domains like Quora, sourceforge, cnet and softonic.

The nice thing about this script is that you can permaban domain you know are junk and they will completely be removed or you can ban a domain like commercial websites. When you ban something it is not removed from google or duckduckgo but it only shows the title in light gray, Im currently experimenting with this on some mayor webstores so I can not really say if this may help you but It can be a good start.

(edit) I saw some people say why this was not possible before. Google allowed you to block domains and website a few years ago, but they removed this feature. Duckduckgo never allowed you to do that because that would mean that you will have a cookie that remembers your preferences and that is against there principles.
The divide here is what you're calling "doing well" is "all time highs" and tech is "cutting edge retail/ads".
Thanks! I also was about 33. And it did become like a prison, at the end (I think because I gradually shifted focus from value, to money).

Your adventure sounds like trememdous fun too. I think you retired with much more money than me (I stopped at the absolute minimum, when it was really taking off).

Learning etc is creating value, and could well be valuable to society long-term - just lacking that immediate feedback. Your consulting gives that. (I did some consulting too, but can quit if non-tech issues make it unpleasant. That's the point of wealth, isn't it?... but it also meant I didn't have work to out how to solve/overcome/deal with it).
Really really feel for you buddy.

Your house has doubled in value and now if you sell it you have to pay capital gains tax before you can buy an equally overpriced house in San Francisco.

I mean in terms of suffering you're right there with the business owners who don't know how they're going to pay their rent or their employees. oh wait no you have a completely first world problem and don't seem to be self aware about it. Or you are just humble bragging.

The completely obvious thing that you could do instead would be to move to a different area after selling the house or do this crazy thing and rent. But really I empathize with your incredible wealth. Really sorry it happened to you.
You need to find a different word that isn't "lazy".

Perhaps a better way to say this is: restaurants are good at being restaurants, but aren't always good at establishing an online presence. A big part of why these delivery services succeed is that they provide a function that restaurants aren't well suited to provide on their own.

This isn't about being lazy, it's about an industry needing to adapt to the new expectations of the app economy, and often not having the expertise to do so.
Does anyone think these food delivery companies are ever going to go away? I mean the restaurants don't seem to like them, the delivery people are pissed, vcs are burning money, and through all this these huge companies are still having a trouble turning a profit. This doesn't seem to be working for anybody except maybe the consumer who is just currently subsidized directly and indirectly through all the above parties. It doesn't make too much sense to me
This is correct, there is no legal mechanism to restrict travel as it is a constitutionally protected right, like free speech. In fact, the US Supreme Court has ruled that it is illegal for the government to enact de facto restrictions on common means of travel via regulatory powers e.g. closing all the roads. Restrictions on use of means of travel are allowable for narrow, limited purposes, like when the FAA grounds aircraft due to imminent safety issues pertaining to their operation (e.g. 9/11 or design defects).

Like with all fundamentally recognized rights in the US, there are no exceptions for broad emergencies, and the Supreme Court has consistently upheld this view in modern history. Abrogation of fundamental rights can only be done in very narrowly targeted ways and generally comes with a due process requirement.
1. Location. Dominos has been within 10 minutes of everywhere I have ever lived or vacationed. My last order of Chinese food came from the other side of the city.

2. Tips. Most people do not tip the app drivers. I suspect more people tip the pizza driver as he sees that you stiffed him. Customers are no longer paying for the delivery.
I can add an anecdata to your suggestion. I work at a fortune 500 financial company. Our CEO recently had a town hall and discussed having a total 180 about remote work. He had been against it and didn't believe it could work. Being forced into it caused him to see the proverbial light. They stopped plans to open another office in NY and would be aggressively embracing more remote work regardless of covid.
True, the culture at GS is/was by far the best.

I said retired people. Meaning, they don't work anymore.
For south korea: (check south korea coronavirus wikipedia article for numbers to double check if you want)
80+ 24%
70+ 10%
60+ 2.6%
50+ .7%
40+ .21%
0-30 0%

so I think your numbers are a bit low but order of magnitude correct. Also of note, S. Korea fatality rate is like 2.4%, in spite of the fact that 20 year olds were dramatically over represented in infections and none of them died - though, because of korea's older demographics, if you extrapolate to the US you get a 1.4% fatality rate (though I think it could be a bit higher because americans are fatter)
> it's interesting what you say about talent, you know, it can be found anywhere. [...] they didn't realize that they could literally find talent anywhere around the world and hire people in ways that they never even thought they could prior to covid 19.

Sorry, but that exchange is complete bullshit. Nobody in 2020 believes that talents only exist in SF. Any successful company in SF has other offices around the world, so they know as a fact that talents can be found elsewhere and know how much that costs. Remote work is well known since decades by companies, they definitely knew that was a thing and decided (for the majority) to not do it while being aware that was an option.

If that's the case, that you are managing a company or HR team and didn't know that was an option, I'm sorry, but you're completely clueless and shouldn't be the one allocating/managing resources.
Sounds/reads just like turd·-retard or dumb person, I assume.
If you as a reader need const to make sure a local variable is not changed this is usually a symptom of this function being too long to see at a glance. And quite often as code changes I do need to make some local variable non-const, and it quickly becomes annoying to fiddle back and forth enforcing const-ness of every local variable.

The argument about optimization is almost certainly premature optimization. Most of the time how you write a loop doesn't matter. You only find out what matters via profiling and refactor accordingly.

I would personally compare the current price to past prices. If the S&P500 price has been the same this past couple of weeks as it was in, say, October 2019: then I might interpret this as the markets predicting that future earnings today are similar to future earnings as one would predict in October 2019. The markets may turn out to be right about this, but it's a very surprising prediction given the current economic carnage.
I believe that includes marketing as well though?
There is still an opportunity for innovation. A restaurant that specializes in "experiences" is not doomed to optimize in food alone. For example, when a customer places an order, a restaurant could offer personalized wine pairing, or affix interesting recipes from the chef, or send you a coupon for the neighboring business.

I read the entire article hoping to find some mention of the air recycle rate on the planes ... which is typically a 50/50 mix of recycled cabin air and outside, fresh air.

It seems like very low hanging fruit to decrease transmission rates by increasing the ratio of fresh air to recycled cabin air ... perhaps there are technical challenges associated with that ?
Point-free notation is used here mainly as a device for obscuring notation.

A function "f x g" pairs up f and g and applies them separately to a tuple of arguments: (f x g)(a, b) = (f(a), g(b)).

The commutative diagram becomes clearer when we label the points:

not x not
(a, b) ---------> (not(a), not(b))
| |
and | | or
V V
and(a,b) ---------> not(and(a, b)) = or(not(a), not(b))
not

(This is the same as what user lmm wrote in prose in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23203478.)

As for what "path-space" notation means, even the author appears confused, since they claim that "and[not] <=> or" corresponds to "If you flip the input and output bits of an `and` function, ..." corresponds to "not(and(a, b)) = or(not(a), not(b))", but this clearly isn't the case: flipping both the inputs and outputs of `and` to get `or` would be "not(and(not(a), not(b))) = or(a, b)".
> why should

I'm not a huge fan of moralistic takes on business. If you're selling something dangerous then that's wrong, but it's very easy to be blinkered from a high position.

If people want to buy food in a certain way I can't really blame them - arguably the same with Uber and taxis, Uber has disrupted an industry which was fairly uncompetitive and politically charged (Their prevalence indicates the customers appreciate their presence in the space)
That’s not what I implied. Without a vibrant app ecosystem, way less iDevices would be sold. Without developers, the ecosystem suffers.

State your main point first
IMO it does show that restaurants have to downsize their footprint to not really be restaurants anymore as the costs are just too high for the slim margins. An idea would be to convert to smaller purposeful rented kitchens or even food trucks that are in zoned parking lot delivery pickup areas for app services to quickly go to and deliver to clients. I lean toward the food truck model as you have the best of both worlds where you have a gathering of food choices in-person when nearby and a way for delivery areas to be centralized and more efficient. In the end, the margins are too high from apps though but it does show a need to start changing how things are done.
> Now when I walk past restaurants, I see banners imploring folks to order from their website. I guess, one silver lining from this pandemic.

Lazy is not the wrong word. They couldn't be bothered to put up that website until now. They couldn't be bothered to innovate and wanted to keep people needing to call on their phones.

They slashed their own wrists with their mediocrity.

This is an area where teenagers routinely make money by building these kinds of websites.

Are there any good resources for learning more about this?
Why so risk-averse in the big picture? Just skimming for now, it seems like this could easily lock a person out of huge gains made by e.g. actively trading during a dynamic market event. Which is weird because there are really effective ways to cover risks during such periods as well, only they aren't nearly as deadly to one's overall profit.

It seems like one of the selling points must be "set and forget," which makes me wonder if the target audience is just people who don't want to actively learn about a thing, but would rather take someone else's word.
And why has that not been true for Japanese or Greek markets for decades?

Where does 7% come from? It is Inflation adjusted correct? 2-3% profits, 2-3% gdp growth? 2-3% others (growth at the cost of smaller companies, other countries etc). I'm not sure how this is all sustainable.

Looking at Japan, none of them are sustainable, not even Inflation. Even as bank of Japan prints immense amount of money and props up all the assets as liquidity injections.
Couchsurfing email to all users: “Couchsurfing needs your help”
Yes, and there are even commenters in this thread whom openly admit the fed 'backstop' is a factor in their decision to play equities.

This market is highly manipulated and disconnected from reality on many levels - that's overtly obvious and intentional maneuvering via fed and pres. Only this pump and dump scheme isn't perpetuated by some shady OTC penny stock hype stunt.

When the equity bubble does burst (not if, but when) it will be very painful and unfortunately not just for those who are directly exposed but the collateral damage of all the free money will adversely affect those who are not day trading on the golf course, instead sold their clubs just to put food on the plate.
Network Radar – Network tool for macOS
what OP describes makes sense to me. but you are right, it is perhaps not laziness. it's a case of not knowing how to do it.

i mean why isn't dominos, pizzahut, etc. teaching them how to do delivery?

with everything going on, with these apps not helping restaurants, i decided to stop using these apps and go get my food myself. i only use apps when i get lazy like OP says.

I worked at a pizza place in the early to mid 90s in the suburbs of Chicago. The place ran its own delivery service. The service was fantastic, pizzas delivered piping hot most of the times. It wasn’t very hard for the restaurant to set up and operate the service. 15 year old me understood it pretty well.

That said I think where these delivery services have come in is at places that historically didn’t have their own delivery. Now these places suddenly have “delivery as a service” to add on with Seemingly no additional work, a fee, and additional revenue.

These places could easily start their own delivery service if they want, but they must still think it’s easier to pay the delivery as a service fees.
The challenge is how they would do that. It requires expertise which itself costs money and time to gain, and it's an ongoing maintenance cost for a small restaurant that may have extremely seasonal revenue.

It's not actually clear to me that every restaurant acting individually can actually recover that delivery service fee. There's no economy of scale for them to exploit.
Yeah. There are _aspects_ of Obj-C that are still nice, but as a whole I find Swift way better to work with on day to day basis. For that matter, I prefer it over syntactically similar languages like Kotlin too. If I could just write Swift everywhere that’d be great.

>People appear to be forgetting how horrible food delivery was pre-UberEats/DoorDash et al. It was horrible and the food was always cold.

No one's forgotten anything, that's just simply not true. I've never used UberEats or DoorDash, and I've had food delivered plenty of times over the years, and never had a problem.

I assume this is the same sort of propaganda Uber fans use when they claim taxi service was universally terrible and corrupt before they came along and disrupted everything. No, for the most part both taxis and restaurant delivery worked perfectly well for most people, most of the time.
This is the best thing I've watched this week. xD
Well, readability is like this. It's not a property of the code alone, it's an emergent property based on both the code and your knowledge as a reader. It's very, very subjective, which our little disagreement here proves. Basically, the same code using the same feature can be both insurmountable wall of text and an elegant, readable solution - depending on your background, current knowledge, and personal taste (among other factors).

For me, this whole spread/fold feature is easy to grok, because I've worked with many similar features elsewhere. In this case, the feature looks almost identical to how `...` is handled in one of the Scheme macro systems, syntax-case (and syntax-rules, by extension)[1]. As mentioned, the use of spread on a comma operator with a side-effect is tricky and maybe too clever, but, otherwise, I don't see anything out of ordinary.

> perhaps while also crossreferencing the features it uses at cppreference.com

That's the thing - if you already knew the meaning and syntax of these features by heart, you'd find the code using them very readable. You also wouldn't need to step through it in the debugger, because there's really not much happening there in terms of control flow.

In general, "readability" is simply a bad word to use: it's too overloaded and means too many things to too many (kinds of) people. Every language can become readable to you if you put enough effort into it; and no, the amount of effort needed is also dependent more on your prior knowledge than on the language in question. So it's just too subjective to be useful as a metric for anything, unfortunately.

Law firm hackers double ransom demand, threaten Donald Trump
‘The ransom demand for the secret files of a cyber-attacked lawyer to A-list stars has doubled to $42 million — as the hackers [REvil] now threaten to reveal “dirty laundry” on President Donald Trump in just a week if they are not paid in full.‘

‘On Thursday, the hackers upped the ante by posting a chilling new message saying, “The ransom is now [doubled to] $42,000,000 … The next person we’ll be publishing is Donald Trump. There’s an election going on, and we found a ton of dirty laundry on time.”

‘They added, “Mr. Trump, if you want to stay president, poke a sharp stick at the guys, otherwise you may forget this ambition forever. And to you voters, we can let you know that after such a publication, you certainly don’t want to see him as president … The deadline is one week.

‘“Grubman, we will destroy your company down to the ground if we don’t see the money.”

‘It is not clear why the hackers connected Trump to Grubman. The president has never been a Grubman client, according to sources, either as a private businessman or during his administration.‘

>Restaurants can make a concerted effort to ask regular clients to order from their own websites/apps but rarely do even when they can make an extra 10-15% after giving the customers 10% off.

Ridiculous. This is an assertion made by somebody who has never tried to convince anybody of anything, by somebody who doesn't know the meaning of the word "discoverability," who has no concept of what market dominance means.

Without government intervention, you can't "new business model" your way out of this. Especially not in the middle of a pandemic that is being historically mishandled.
FAANG gives you money, in Europe there aren't that many better places to be.

> Location. Dominos has been within 10 minutes of everywhere I have ever lived or vacationed. My last order of Chinese food came from the other side of the city.

Sure, but that doesn’t preclude that Chinese restaurant from having their own delivery function. Each Domino’s restaurant needs to be self sufficient as well. Googling “Chinese food near me” seems to provide the look up.

> Customers are no longer paying for the delivery.

Have you seen the charges from an Uber eats delivery? We stopped using food delivery services entirely and just pick up now to save the ~$20 overhead on dinner.
