> Like how is a election where more people then ever vote rigged?

Lets say the states decide to send out mail in ballots to all members of a house hold. A parent intercepts the ballots and fills them out on behalf of the kids or grandparents, or even the previous tenants. All of a sudden casting multiple votes becomes much easier by a single person.

In a more cynical situation, the ballots are intercepted and returned filled out by party members.
I'm curious what metrics are driving that behavior by Instacart shoppers. In my (entirely amateur/armchair) opinion, it would seem like the time you'd save by making an unapproved substitution wouldn't make up for the potential for negative reviews, which could get you driven off the platform entirely.

Maybe a majority of customers don't care enough about unapproved substitutions to review poorly? Though reading through this thread suggests otherwise. Maybe there's some other internal metrics which shoppers or Instacart have access to that incentivize poor substitutions in the name of speed?

Honest questions - I don't know anything about this business and it's interesting to me that it appears to be such a pervasive issue.

It’s just the opposite now. You use to have to pay for cable to get HBO, CNN and NBC (if you didn’t live in a good coverage area.) and you were stuck paying sports fees, broadcast fees, franchise fees, etc.

Now you can get HBO a la carte, NBC prime time either for free on their website or with no commercials or with Hulu for $12.

Really there is little on network TV that I care to watch anymore. Between Netflix ($5 with Tmobile), Hulu w/ no commercials, Amazon Prime, AppleTV+ (free for now), and Disney+ (Mostly for the kids), I have plenty to watch. I sign up for other services (Starz, CBS, DCUniverse) occasionally to binge and then cancel.

> Gatsby has slick looking docs and a lot of VC money and as far as I can tell a painful development experience.

I have used Gatsby only for small projects, but developer-experience-wise, it's been fantastic, on par with Next.js and better than developer experience of Jekyll or Eleventy, I would say. No pain at all, if you know your way around javascript and react.

But of course the price you pay for that is that a hello world Gatsby app starts at around 60 kB of javascript. Also, service workers, which are nice in principle, but in inexperienced hands might result in stale content or even broken site. I sometimes visit the site of Kent C. Dodds. It's built with Gatsby. It's also using service workers, so every time I visit the site after a couple of weeks or so, the page greets me with the old content; and I have to refresh the page to get the new one. Occasionally, his service workers that have cached the entrypoint webpack file fail to fetch css or js files from previous builds listed there, and the site just shows blank nothingness. It's ironic, really.
This would be sort of funny, since many operated like this in the (not recent) past. Customers picking their own products off open shelves was an innovation at one point (and it was greeted by some people with similar disdain as our current self-checkout lines).

Low doses of SARS seem to have much lower mortality: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3367618/

Of the 79 infected, 19 died. E block (where the index patient was), had 53 infections and 15 deaths for a mortality rate of 28%. Other units had 26 infections and 4 deaths, for a mortality rate of 15%. The death rate of patients in E7 (closest to the index patient and with the highest viral load) was 70%. That's more than 4x difference in mortality based on viral load!

It would be very surprising if low doses of SARS-CoV-2 caused higher mortality. Therefore should allow researchers and volunteers to experiment with low dose deliberate infection. It could save hundreds of thousands of lives.
I'm guessing here, but SO has always been very .NET-friendly place (it runs on Windows and .NET, and it was very active in the .NET-related topics when it started) which might skew results a bit. But again, guessing.
So you agree that selective breeding is possible for humans? I think that’s all he is saying, in response to people who might incorrectly recoil from the idea that practices that work on animals also work on humans.

Your other points about selective breeding being fragile and most likely a long term disaster are true, but I think they’re second order points.

It’s also a big jump to assume that Dawkins is unaware of the downsides of selective breeding, so your interpretation of his tweet seems somewhat uncharitable.
I agree with you on the eastern part of the Roman empire but what is the "direct lineage in some form or fashion" than brings you to 1806 for the western part?

Why would I tolerate a blatant falsehood?

> that does not exempt them from being the actual publisher, and all the rights/obligations that go with it.

With respect, you're totally misinformed. Social media websites do not fall under any kind of "publisher" obligation, this is a totally made up meme that people spread online.

Now, if you want to argue that we should change the laws so that these websites would fall under some kind of publisher obligations, I would disagree, but that would at least allow room for "tolerance of other people's point of view". However, in terms of the actual law you and the parent are unequivocally incorrect.
>control: the power to influence or direct people's behavior or the course of events
obviously the "as possible" is qualified.

setting that aside, though, the best way to make software (open- or closed-source) extensible is via a plugin API. without it, the only way for end users to extend open-source software is to fork and maintain the fork forever, or attempt to merge upstream. so one might argue that the quality of the plugin API (and its documentation) is the primary measure of a software's "extensibility".
To add to this: you have to rely on authorities in a sense. I trust that Einstein's theory of General Relativity is true because I trust in the scientific consensus. I trust that the claims made by climate scientists are true because I trust in the peer review process. Now, of course, all of these people can be wrong. But I, as an individual, only have a limited number of years to live and I cannot verify every single of piece of information for myself. Ergo, I have to decide to trust certain authorities, at least partially if I want to do anything useful with my life.
I got myself stuck in quiver which is a nice tool but has no movement in its project and has horrible exporting. Beware. I still need to move my .qlite notes into markdown.

My problem with Quiver wasn't just no updates, its a good tool how it is, but that plus no web/android/windows. Just figured it was time to finally hop of that sinking ship.

I.. wish someone had told me this 2 years ago when I started using quiver and it was already dead, before I put hundreds of notes in it that are now stuck in .qlite or .. pdf i think?
Thank you so much for the tips, they make a lot of sense! Our onboarding surely needs some re-thinking.
> other frameworks like Next.js, Rails, Django, etc.

I think that's the biggest difference. Gatsby spits out a bunch of html and js files that can be served anywhere. No database migrations, impossible for someone to install malware on your site, no server costs (static site hosts are multiple and free).

That's the big value prop to me. Hosting is simple, dev tools are familiar (npm and react), plus I don't have to mess with webpack.

(I agree that I have no clue how they'll make money, but I do really like their existing ecosystem).

Will this mean that sites will be able to finally lock in a version of AMP? The idea that there is one place right now that is required for all AMP sites that can dynamically update the behavior of all such pages is, in fact, terrifying to me; like, I went into reading this discussion thinking AMP wasn't making anything worse and being super unhappy that anyone even thought to denigrate signed exchanges (as I want those deployed everywhere in order to provide censorship resistant web caching) and then I got convinced by kbenson that this is actually a bit of a dystopia scenario for the web once you involve AMP... I even managed to find an issue about solving this problem with subresource integrity (one you were involved in) that apparently got closed with prejudice (not by you) under an insistence that this javascript injection be an "evergreen" codebase lest somehow everything becomes super insecure, which to me just indicates a fundamental architectural flaw in the security model of AMP :/.

I was puzzled when this article mentioned Amazon and Walmart, saying Amazon had a disadvantage in providing fresh foods, and then said nothing about Whole Foods.

I have gotten about five orders delivered from Whole Foods. I definitely like that they operate their own service versus using instacart. While there have been some issues with the website, such as losing cart contents (and one would think that Amazon, of all companies would have their site perfect) I haven't had any significant problems with substitutions, quality, or the delivery itself. It was difficult to arrange a delivery slot at first. They seem to have fixed that. The sizes were unexpectedly small on a few things. That's about it.

> why do you care about who is in the white house so much

He raised my taxes last year, rather significantly. So it's not just Twitter rants.
The missing figure is how many hours those hackers spent. Most of the companies that were on HackerOne when last I checked are using the platform as a kind of a substitute for contracting with a pen test firm. Things like "will you break my website". With bug bounties, the payout is only for vulnerabilities found, not for analysis effort, and therefore one has to carefully weigh the expectancy. I think that vulnerabilities found is the wrong metric for the industry, because it is really downstream of the true desire. If anything, the metric should be complexity removed. Prove that you made the system simpler.
It doesn't sound like they are claiming that their perceptions are objective.

In your previous post, you trip all over yourself acknowledging that their preferences are valid.

> I think some big investment in infrastructure could be a way to make that happen

I'm curious what infrastructure you think would excite young Americans. With the exception of changing energy generation from fossil fuels to renewables, I can't think of a single thing that I could generalize young Americans caring about, much less be excited about.

Not saying that there aren't people like yourself and others that get excited about infrastructure, but is there anything that would excite more than just a tiny subset of us nerds that care about such things?

> Anecdotally, the largest problem I think we have is that there are vast amounts of people who feel like victims and just about everyone feels like they are under attack or have been violated.

I wholeheartedly agree that many feel this way, but how does getting excited about infrastructure projects address this? The root cause of people feeling this way is because they are constantly being told by the MSM and social media that they should feel this way.
Amazon has no problem with activism? Let's recall the leaked email from April when they decided to go after one activist personally

>"SEATTLE — Amazon’s top legal executive suggested the company’s senior leaders fend of workplace safety criticism by trying to turn the focus on an activist warehouse worker it had fired just days earlier, according to leaked notes from a meeting with top executives.

The company fired Chris Smalls, a New York warehouse worker, on Monday after he complained to several media outlets, including The Washington Post, that Amazon had not done enough to protect its workforce during the coronavirus pandemic. In an email recounting a meeting with senior executives, including chief executive Jeff Bezos, executives discussed a strategy to shift the focus to Smalls. (Bezos owns The Washington Post.)

“He’s not smart, or articulate, and to the extent the press wants to focus on us versus him, we will be in a much stronger PR position than simply explaining for the umpteenth time how we’re trying to protect workers,” Amazon General Counsel David Zapolsky wrote in an email first obtained by the news site Vice. The Post confirmed the authenticity of the email."

I think writing some basic HTML is not hard, what's hard is everything else around hosting a web site properly nowadays. (and is where Wordpress wins users, I think)

I have non-tech-savvy family who has started content web sites over 20 years ago, by writing some basic HTML, and uses FTP to upload HTML files. It's a mental model that's easily understood by someone who can operate Windows. He went on to maintain the site for the next 20 years and it worked fine.

In the last couple of years I did a big migration for his site and moved it to a markdown based CMS (PicoCMS in PHP) and he's been happy with it -- having a web editor (and learning markdown, which was easy) and not have to FTP.

The thing is, it took work to set all that up (on my end, that he doesn't see). I got a Digital Ocean server, installed a bunch of stuff around PHP, wrote some custom plugins for the CMS, etc.

After having done that 3-4 years ago, I realized the more modern, ideal, alternative is to have a Git repo of markdown files, and a Netlify setup (or another similar service to Netlify) where check-ins are automatically deployed.

The problem then is this -- Git workflows are way, way too difficult for non-tech folks to understand. We're not even talking about command line or desktop git clients; even asking someone to use Github (or Gitlab) to edit markdown files to update their site is not an easy mental model to wrap around (if you're not a coder).

I think the most ideal setup, this "better Wordpress" you mention, would be to have a web UI to edit markdown files, backed by a git repo, hooked up with a Netlify-like service. I thought about working on that as a project; but it would be one that relies on using Github and Netlify as key pieces and I'm not even sure Netlify allows a 3rd party to develop apps that end up creating Netlify sites on behalf of other customers, which means I'd have to build out the full Netlify deploy flow and I'm really not in the business of doing that.
Wow that is pretty bleak actually. 500ms+ in a world where edge cached serves at 5ms def means one needs to deploy these strategically only

Operational control of a website does not equate to control of public discourse. Other things exist on the internet besides social media.
> it certainly would be great to see young Americans be more excited about the future and I think some big investment

I don't think it's the fault of young Americans. It's more the fault of those in charge. We haven't been investing in young Americans like we did in the post WWII era. It's no wonder they're pessimistic given high amounts of student debt and political rulers that are basically trying to milk all the money out of the masses to enrich the themselves and their wealthy friends.

They're not wrong. Every single time Section 230 comes up, there's somebody here arguing that Section 230 doesn't actually mean that companies can choose who they want to censor without becoming a publisher.

But it does. That was the explicit point of Section 230, and that's how Section 230 has played out in legal courts ever since it was established.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_230_of_the_Communicati...

----

But of course, that entire debate about Section 230 is irrelevant here because Twitter hasn't censored anybody, and I haven't seen anyone give a clear reason why neutrality requirements on commentary wouldn't be outright unconstitutional, regardless of what Section 230 says.

I always considered GUI as a 'dialog'. That is implying a conversation between user and program. Meanwhile, CLI, especially in scripted use, appear as monologs. Of course, CLI can also show user-prompts, but in repeated use they will likely get scripted. This turns CLI into a command monolog: "I described everything needed", where program declares: "Here's the best I could do for that."

On the other hand, a dialog assumes there's some value in the exchange of bits of information. In a general sense, GUI is a forum, allowing user to interact with several systems/components at once, as if constantly refining the common understanding of what needs to/could be/has been done.

I noticed a paradigm shift in GUI handling of settings dialogs. While traditionally there was an OK button to effectuate the changes, modern GUI assumes a more affirmative stance and effectuates each given change immediately, without the need for a final OK.

In a way this removes the program as a party in the dialog, making it closer to CLI interaction style.

Ultimately, we don't want to converse with the program/machine/system. We want the result, whatever it takes.

Most spam filters do silently delete messages that they are particularly confident about.

But spam detection is not black and white. The existence of "maybe" spams means that you need to let some through.
