There's a fundamental question that the article doesn't seem to answer: if "ugly produce" is a myth, then where are these companies getting their ugly produce, and how are they able to sell it at a discount?

I'm fully prepared to accept "it's a marketing gimmick and they're selling at a loss" as the actual answer here, but it seems to go unasked and therefore unanswered.
I find it hard to believe instacarts model is still the best way of doing online grocery shopping in America... In the UK there's Ocado that has their own warehouses and most of the selection and packing is automated. If there are replacements you're told in advance and can accept or reject the replacement

Most of the main supermarket chains have followed suit and have similar services
Any interest in breaking fraidycat out into an app you can self-host and visit via the browser? I'd love to be able to use it from any device via a browser, and have the hosted version be the single source of truth.
Couldn’t you bake in variety as one of the desirable characteristics to pass on to the next generation? And also from that tweet it’s not even clear that Dawkins would disagree with you.. it seems like you are disagreeing with the common criteria for good that people will come up with rather than if eugenics itself would work. You even say yourself that if you were omniscient that eugenics could work...

Like I do understand what you are saying, but it seems weird to me to take this one tweet you disagree with and conclude that Dawkins has only a shallow understanding of evolution, especially when it seems like you only disagree on the nuances of a definition.

I was thinking that the US getting directly involved, sending troops to Taiwan, would be a very big escalation of the tensions that are between the States and China.
At least they kinda explain it in the "Concurnas Axioms" section, a little further down.
Never considered that. However, the question still remains: how did we get here and what caused this trend?

This looks like original reporting by Buzz Feed News, so linking to Buzz Feed News would seem to be the right choice.

Listicle Buzz Feed ≠ Buzz Feed News.

Drudge has been doing this kind of linking for a while – rather than linking to WaPost, for example, he links to greenwichtime.com, which prints WaPost articles.

In my experience, Walmart produce is YMMV under the best of circumstances. Meat options are pretty variable too. It's the closest grocery store to me but I can't really depend on them for a full grocery shopping.
Also, in this case no one is being censored. It's not like the president isn't allowed to post and is having his "freedom of speech" taken away. This is more like his speech is being responded to, and he doesn't like that others can challenge what he's saying. The very antithesis of free speech.
This is really sad. It sounds like he was prepared too, meaning he had a mask... but others weren't masked. Makes you wonder.
I’m in the other camp; getting delivery has massively reduced my impulse junk food purchases. I couldn’t care less about convenience or cost differences; the reduction in impulse sugar consumption alone has been worth it.
A private company that has a monopoly on speech is no longer a private company, it's essentially an unelected and unaccountable part of the permanent government.

You need to think about entities based on their properties, not the labels that are attached to them. That ought to be obvious to people who program for a living; think of a private company with a speech monopoly as the good old .txt.exe scam.

You're attaching the label "not government" to Google, but in terms of properties it is like the government. YouTube has openly admitted to manipulating video results despite it costing them money to do so. Their monopoly position is so strong that the YouTube leadership rules us like a dictatorship.

I would prefer it if these tech monopolies were simply broken up. But failing that, they need to obey the first amendment or be shut down in the US.

Europe is a different beast, but I think the UK at least should adopt the US first amendment.
As I said in another comment I fear the thread I’ve started here may be suffering from some creep. “Media literacy” as a topic definitely exercises the critical thinking muscles of the brain as a specific and applied school subject, but if the discussion people would rather have is the vague call to “teach kids critical thinking” and left at that, then I gotta go because that’s a conversation that is far less precise and will get really weird really fast.
Good. Fuck social media.

Probably way more beneficial to humanity to destroy social media than lay waste to the economy with these dubious COVID-19 lockdowns.
I strongly disagree with Drudge's politics and sensationalism, but I've been a long time regular visitor just because of the layout and design.

And I've always assumed he used the secondary sources (including shady ones) to avoid paywalls.
I bootcamp'd Windows LTSC on my old late 2013 MBP. Your friend's experience is similar to mine. Everything is smooth and the magic trackpad 2 works flawlessly, which used to be an issue with Windows.

I won't switch back to Windows, but if I ever need to, I'd definitely consider using a MBP for it.
I find the direct linkage to corona to be a little misleading. My gut feeling says this is a broader sign of the times:

* Rising youth unemployment

* Gig economy & the uncertainty that comes with it

* Crushing study debt

* Little hope of owning property

* Rapidly increasing inequality

* Offshoring & automation

* Healthcare system where serious sickness can lead to financial ruin

* Debt fueled systems (or credit score if you prefer - a system that kicks people when they're down)

I'd venture that the sane response is anxiety or depression. But yeah sure go ahead and blame it on the immediate trigger - COVID
Marketers rarely care about you having a not-miserable experience. In fact, the key insight behind many of the common dark patterns is that you can inflict a lot of annoyance on your customers before they start to bounce, and meanwhile at each step a fraction of those customers will fall prey to the sales technique and spend more money than they should.

(Consider: if your choice is between ordering on-line and going to the store in the middle of a pandemic, and you're leaning towards ordering on-line, will you really give up and go to the store just because someone sorted a bunch of overpriced products to the top of the list in your app?)
Ever think the virii and climate change might be connected? My daughter did her capstone project for high school this year and she studied how climate change will lead to more deadly virus outbreaks. She has the data to show the two are strongly correlated. She presented her results November last year where she said to expect more worldwide viral outbreaks as a result of climate change. Her teacher expressed some concern that she hopes it isn't true. Now that teacher thinks my daughter predicted coronavirus - which she didn't, she only said to expect more such outbreaks as the world heats.

And no, people are not waking up because they're still denying the role man is playing in causing these problems. That denial only serves to increase our suffering. However you are correct in noting that the effective solution to these problems requires a coordinated global response. Sorry to break the news to you - but you are a member of a species that's now capable of changing a planet's climate - this is no longer science fiction. As such, we have a grave responsibility to ensure our planet remains habitable for future generations. How we meet that responsibility is our choice.
How about dividing among reporters, bounty increases the longer it's not fixed since first report, and those paid must be publicly acknowledged.

Probably also need stiff penalties for insiders who might conspire to notify others of bugs and split the pay out.
No doubt at all (the whole world seeing it) and it will be crazy fast if nothing changes in November.
Joplin isn't like your typical web app, and you need to either carry a copy of your notes around on every device, or you need to sync them using a cloud service. For that reason, I went with other note-taking and wiki software.

How much is cable those days? That would require at least 10-12 streaming services.
YouTube is not one of these already? Regardless of whether you agree with net neutrality, it has the effect of tilting the market for net traffic in favor of video streaming services.
HN's predictions are solidly in "less space than a nomad" territory. I think the predictive value is nil. I think it might be slightly negative, i.e. if you trade on the naive opposite of the aggregate HN opinion, you might make money simply out of HN's anti-incumbency predilection combined with the Lindy effect.

I'm pretty worried that weaponized coronavirus deaths are going to become a recurring feature for the next year. This article isn't even attempting to provide evidence that Amazon's safety measures are insufficient; a guy died, and he might have caught the virus while in an Amazon warehouse, therefore Amazon's a jerk. I mean, look at this:

> Other countries facing coronavirus outbreaks show how things could be different here. In India, factories where workers test positive are forced to shut down. In China, people who have come into contact with anyone who tests positive are required to undergo strictly enforced seven- or 14-day quarantines. [...] Foxconn, the million-employee company that builds the iPhone and many other electronic devices, created 20-person teams of workers and required them to work, travel, eat and sleep together in company dormitories to ensure that any infected workers could be quickly traced and quarantined.

If Amazon had established such a policy in late March, locking all warehouse employees into company dorms, would the LA Times really be in favor of it?
I heard an interesting theory, I wish I could credit whoever thought it up but I've forgotten. The theory is that the success Dirac had and all of the successes of the other luminaries around the early 1900 - 1930's (essentially everyone in the picture of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvay_Conference#Fifth_Confer...) has created the perception that HEP and quantum physics are this dynamic field where the mysteries of the universe are being rapidly discovered. According to this theory, this romantic vision has led kids to get into the field even when real discoveries have actually ground to a halt and what is achievable has shrunk and shrunk. Basically, this area of science is played out or is in a natural ebb causing everyone in the field to have an existential crisis. Interesting theory.
All of these are extreme and very myopic takes. 6 figures of student loan debt? That's < 5% of all borrowers (and many of those are post-grad education), 92% of Americans have healthcare and a fraction of the already small number of bankruptcies are related to medical debt, poverty rate has been relatively steady since the 60s.

Sure a lot of people hate Trump (I think if the media stopped talking about him, and he stopped tweeting that'd help a lot of anxiety - it's more media spin than his actual policy that seems to anger people), the US ranks better than most countries in Western Europe in terms of death rate per 1000, lack of community I'd agree with.

My point is: if you shut off some of the news and social media, your perspective would likely drastically improve. Things aren't actually that terrible if you tune out all the alarmists.
Thanks :) I hadn't notice it
Maintaining backwards compatibility isn't a problem that's unique to GUIs.
The US Government could easily bankrupt Twitter. I doubt the Trump Administration is smart enough to figure out how to do this, but here is how easy it would be.

Twitter frequently selectively enforces its own terms of service. They punish some users and then intentionally let other users get away with atrocious behavior with no consequences. I've witnessed this across hundreds of various Twitter accounts over the last several years, so the number of times this happens must be rather epic. Numerous agencies of the US Government can choose to pursue Twitter for that. Twitter will find it impossible to correct their chaotic, selective, biased approach to how they treat their users so very differently. Angency N from the government slaps Twitter with an increasing fine each time they fail to properly, equitably enforce their terms of service. Start at $100 million and double it with every violation. Twitter will be bankrupt before a month is out.

Twitter would get on their knees and beg for mercy almost instantly. The US Government can break any corporation it wants to, anytime it wants to.

If the Trump Admin wants to be really devious, Nixonian, they'll target the executives operating the companies. Sending the IRS & Co. to make their lives a living hell. These companies will capitulate instantly.

Just ask the PRISM companies how this works in reality: you have no choice but to bow. It all depends on how nasty the Feds are prepared to get.
Tired, bored, or perhaps the reality is that the business model simply wouldn't work if the wages paid to Instacart shoppers were high enough that they could reliably get labor who cared. As-is it feels like a desperation gig and the results match.

I downvoted you primarily because it is irrelevant to the point GP was making. On top of that I didn¨t find it interesting as I think it's fairly wide known that they co-opted the icon.
It’s factually irrelevant since no facts are expressed. That’s just opinion.

I guess the racist part could be arguable, but that’s more opinion than fact.
This has nothing to do with people and their debate. This is a direct threat to a company to violate their free speech which, in itself, is a crime not unlike directly threatening violence against a person.
Not OP but I'm consuming a mostly carnivore diet, I struggled with gout for years and since I went keto and then pretty much carnivore I haven't had a flare up. I eat meat, fish, eggs, cheese and cauliflower (my stool seem fine with or without fiber but a little bit makes me feel more "flushed out", lol).

The biggest culprit for gout is definitely carbs (sugar) and dehydration in my opinion and the carnivore diet and/or keto pretty much takes care of that, it eliminates the carbs and meat in my experience makes you drink a lot of water.

It is also a lot easier to maintain your weight (also very important in the gout equation) on carnivore, I find it really hard to over eat, you hit satiety fast and I find that there is a lot less noise in the hunger signals. My stomach now days only makes itself reminded when I truly need energy, no "fake" cravings.

My mental state also seem clearer, I find fat to be a smoother source of energy then carbs. Fat is a slow stable burn while carbs is a violent explosive burn, which is cool every now and then but you pay a price for it.
Tumours do it all the time apparently.
This is an aspect of security that a lot of smart technical folks seem to have problems reasoning about. Technical systems sit within cultural and legal systems, and it is the totality of all of those that shapes our behavior.
That's the thing— it does not require any great leap of faith or imagination to conceive of things that work this way, because there are already so many examples in the real world. To build on a previous example, Jimmy Wales leapt further in conceiving Wikipedia, which had no precedent before it was created. The leap I ask for is therefore less.

Companies have to make money to exist and survive— but optimizing for money above literally all else is a choice. Again, the word for that is "greed", and it's optional. The leaders of a company can steer towards it or away from it; the company will follow where they lead, raise or lower itself to the standards that they (fail to) set. I worked for 10 years at a successful, well-known company which emphasizes quality over easy money, and it's maddening to see people claiming that such a thing is impossible. It's really not.

This is the exact perspective that I'm talking about. It's the perspective of the GM manager in the 1980s who'd insist— despite all the evidence to the contrary— that Toyota's worker-positive, lean production strategy is impossible. Not only is he wrong, but he'd be losing money because of his lack of imagination and his unwillingness to raise the bar out of the dirt.

It's the attitude of officials in second- and third-world countries, who see corruption, fraud, and abuse— the bottom of the moral barrel— and shrug their shoulders; they justify it to themselves, to others, to the public under the mantra "it can't be helped; the bar cannot possibly be any higher. It's too much to ask". Lo and behold, those countries are economically irrelevant, while countries with higher institutional integrity exist and dominate all around them. Lowering the bar doesn't help them.

Given all the examples available, "a company with high standards" is not "theoretical" at all. Saying so is but an excuse to insist on a pitifully low bar. And it's disappointing to me to encounter the perspective that "behaving with integrity" is beyond conceivable.
> pettier and pettier reasons

Doesn't seem petty to me, but if you feel that, there are other things you could do to get other human contact, like taking a walk and chatting with (socially distanced) neighbors.
You don't even need the service worker: just use preload hints for the related content and, if you're really convinced you need to, fetch the content so you can replace the page on a click.

That's usually a waste of time, however, compared to making sure your site is cache-friendly. As most projects have discovered, there are a lot of edge cases for making a JavaScript solution as fast or robust as the built-in browser behaviour.
And also substituting generic brand for brand gives higher ROI
AWS might be a spaghetti of products, but they get out of my way and they’re straightforward enough to use/ignore; and that’s pretty much what I want.

Honestly, I wouldn’t touch something from Oracle with a 10 foot pole, sorry. I’m sure the UX is probably pretty good, but I’m staying away from that company if I can avoid it-too many horror stories, way too “enterprise”.
Aren't somebody the criteria overkill in extenuating circumstances? Usually they will have caveats like "not immediately after death of a family member", etc.
In some ways CLIs are great for discoverability, because they force everything into the familiar "list of commands" paradigm. GUIs can be either much better or much worse for discoverability, because the layout techniques that let GUIs surface important or contextually relevant functions are the same techniques that let GUIs hide the function you need behind six layers of B.S.

See this article (full disclosure: written by me) that talks a bit more about some of the tradeoffs between CLIs and GUIs from a UX perspective: https://medium.com/design-ibm/real-developers-dont-use-uis-d...

There's also this interesting project that attempts to bring some of the discoverability and other benefits of graphical UIs to CLIs: https://github.com/IBM/kui . Would love to see more work in this area.
Or just do it secretly.
Not very impressed with this, because:

- Rendering of files takes quite long (a couple of seconds)
- Interface looks dated
- Graph view is not very usable, it just shows a bunch of words. No idea how to get any meaning out of this.
- Backlinks did not update in my test

Typora [0], another markdown editor is light-years ahead with the basic features – being able to edit markdown files and search through them all at once.

I appreciate the competition, tho. Good to have another option.

The price is quite high for such an editor in my opinion. More polished note-taking apps like Bear [2] or Notion [3] https://www.notion.so/ are even cheaper.
They are proprietary, so not using markdown files directly, but I think it is fair to compare them anyways.

A lot of people didn't think the guy in the white house could matter that much until Trump. As a non-American a lot of Americans would likely be envious of your lifestyle right now. The 30 million currently unemployed for sure, the people who also can't get to a hospital if they need surgery or healthcare because they're closed because of our botched (guy in wh) response care as well. The essential workers with no healthcare who are making an extra $2/hour to possibly die.

This isn't a vaccuum in America. A lot of us have friends, family and coworkers affected by this.

Even if I ignore the president or the news I'm still trapped inside my house for the most part. If I leave my house it's an experience figuring out whether something is open or not, what their rules are, etc.

I mean I can go sit in my backyard and ignore the world but I still need to function day to day and right now I can't do half of my chores, errands, etc. So it's something definitely affecting my day to day.

And I'm on the lucky end, I can wfh and sit here and respond to you. I can't imagine having to go to work at some gas station to pay rent right now.

The guy in the white house isn't doing anything to calm anyones nerves or concerns. He's exacerbating them greatly. He has the largest microphone in the country, it's hard to ignore him or his affect on peoples mental health.

Everywhere we look is a reminder of our failure of a government. It's on everyones mouths. Now imagine going to work and fixing bobscars.com database while this stuff is in your face everyday.
Maybe it is the HN Traffic, but I just tried a couple of keyword searches and the site just hangs. It just shows the spinner for minutes on end. I turned off all ad-blockers in case that was the problem, but no dice.

In case it helps the devs, there is this error I see in devtools console:
GET https://devslistjules.uk.r.appspot.com/api/jobs?limit=10 net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

edited to include console error
This is very true, as an American. There's almost no difference in the vast majority of daily life for most Americans if you just pretended like the president doesn't exist.
Can anyone explain to science behind why some people naturally prefer to stay up as late as possible? For me I prefer to go to bed very late 4am.The Coronavirus has enabled me to be more productive on my schedule
and it means a javascript CLI file if it's in the first byte of the file...

I'm wondering if {{}} is syntactically unambiguous. It's closer to the correct symbols at least. Or maybe there's a parallel to symbols (Ruby, Elixir, ?), and you could leverage a leading colon:

let myRecord = :{ foo: "bar" };

but a little tricky with ternaries.
It seems like you are making an unstated assumption that food being thrown away is a bad thing.

I'm not convinced. Let's say a farmer wanted to reduce foodwaste. So they only sold perfect fruit that they knew would get bought. That would drive up the prices of those perfect fruit AND there would be less fruit for sale in total.

Therefore, some amount of food waste should be acceptable to ensure the best outcome for everyone.
