We decided to order a bunch of things from Costco a few weeks ago through instacart. Actually we decided to do it before then, but the site was broken for a bit.

It was crazy expensive.

Not only the delivery fee, the tip, etc. But every item was marked up significantly over the in-store price, with no indication that was the case. We even pulled out some old receipts to verify this price difference. Apparently part of the business model is to basically double charge both a delivery fee as well as hidden fees for products.

The total bill was a full 30% higher than going to the store. On a $200 bill for a Costco run, that's a $60 upcharge.

No thanks, I'd rather go myself in a hazmat suit and then powerwash all the groceries when I get home.

The article is about the jobs disappearing, not Boeing disappearing.

Any such bailout isn't going to be enough to bring back jobs in the commercial aircraft business, which is likely where most of these job cuts are coming from.
I can look online now and see beautiful art whenever I want. In magazines and books beautiful imagery is ubiquitous.

Art is just a thing we expect to see now and is easily reproduced. We are surrounded by it. This is why I chose "commoditized".

There's at least one company trying to do this - Misfit Markets sells boxes of ugly produce delivered to your door, and they claim to be cheaper than supermarket prices as an ugliness discount. (Disclaimer: I've never used them, a relative works for them)
> Bruised apples are perfectly edible. Maybe you just don't like them, and that's fine--there's no accounting for taste.

I find that once an apple gets a small bruise, it typically grows larger very quickly. If you eat it immediately, you can just cut out a small part. But if the grocery delivery comes with 50% of the apples bruised, that means you’re having to cut out (waste) a fair amount of your apples.

There had been multiple previous threads on this on hackernews which show that YouTube is indeed deleting

Furthermore YouTube comment are full of spam and YouTube doesn't delete them, so why is it that if they contain certain Chinese keywords (in Chinese) they do delete them?
C# and WPF. WPF is what the web would have been, if it had been designed for applications and not documents.

It's not easy, that's for sure. But this is also not a new problem. The field of journalism exists to address these complicated issues, which emerge from basic human communication rather than any recent technological advancement. In a real sense, truth is whatever society wants it to be and every attempt to fact check will be a political battle shrouding/suppressing potential physical violence. I'm not sure what the solution is other than our society finding a baseline of common truth first before addressing points where we differ.

Also, the US previously had the fairness doctrine which seems to have worked well in comparison with this era without it (though I have not done much research into it, and I can see how an administration like the one we have today would abuse it).
> May be it is better on iOS since Apple owns the whole stack from Metal to Drivers to actual GPU

This goes the other way than what you would think.

Owning the whole stack lets you reach through abstraction layers. This can be good for, say, efficiency. You don't have to assume the implementation of another component could work in multiple different ways, you can look inside it and do something that only works with the specific implementation you're actually using.

It tends to be bad for reliability. Having clean interfaces between things makes them easier to reason about, because they're independent components instead of a giant ball of spaghetti. Each component only has to consider the other component's published interface and not have to worry about every detail of its internals. It's "do one thing and do it well" vs. "nothing is ever guaranteed not to change in any way at any time."

The latter gives you greater flexibility at the cost of greater instability and fragility.
I thought they said they would 'fix' this. Don't tell me eliding entries from the naughty list is some enormous engineering exercise. Only a fool would believe that.

it's kind of ironic that the main value proposition of static site generators like Gatsby is that it's just a file so it's portable and you can take them anywhere, instead of getting locked into server/client based database systems, yet here they are, trying to monetize by building the "the best way to build and maintain Gatsby sites".

From my point of view, if they succeed in achieving that goal, that means Gatsby the open source project has failed, because it contradicts its purpose.

I can understand them raising a few million dollars, but $28M? Not so sure, I actually think the VC money will do more harm than good.

For starters, their highest selling plane, the 737 series, is a six decade old obsolete fly-by-mechanical-cable design that sits too low to the ground to fit large modern high efficiency jet engines.

Medium has a revenue sharing thing where a medium pro users fees are allocated to write depending on what the user reads. I don't know anyone who has medium pro though.
I think the Daily Note is the best example here, in both Obsidian and Roam. It makes it easy to jot down quick notes about the things you read/learned without thinking too much where to put it. You just highlight a few key words you find reasonable and then you'd be able to find that piece using any of them and then follow the graph around.

Now instead of just reading articles in Pocket I always take quick notes and save the most important parts for me.

On top of that if there was evidence behind all indictments, then we would not need judges, only prosecutors. It is up to the court to decide if "there is evidence" or not.
Yes, but there's more than one way to save Boeing's defense business and recent scandals have left them with less political capital then they would have otherwise had. There's no guarantee post-bailout Boeing would be the same company as pre-bailout Boeing or even remain a single company.

I have listened to a podcast about the F-35. It has touchscreens but they also put a lot of the critical functions onto the stick so the touchscreen doesn't need to be used when things are shaking. I imagine it's the same here. The astronauts probably don't have much to do during a launch and can't do much when things go wrong.
I unfortunately think that flights are likely to end up at a more expensive equilibrium. There’ll be a lot less pressure to cut costs and a bit more pressure to improve the experience, now that all the lifestyles revolving around regular air travel have been disrupted.
My wife stays home with the kids and she made the comment at the beginning of all this that the most frustrating thing was all the people posting about how hard it was to be home all the time or reaching out to see how she was doing.

From her perspective, very little about her day to day life actually changed.

The main thing we had to adjust to is that we couldn't go to stores anymore as a way to get out of the house. We replaced that with taking walks and socializing with our neighbors.

Monday she went to the fabric store for the first time in three months. She was pretty excited about that.

"Never" implies conclusivity?

Either way, you wouldn't use "should never" when it comes to batteries, which still has bulging, quality issues, etc throughout the entire technology industry with cell phones bulging, phones catching on fire, batteries on airplanes themselves being damaged, car batteries catching fire.

It's very well known that modern lithium ion battery tech isn't all that "failsafe" so using the words "should never bulge" in this context is very deceptive.

It is more likely that any battery using current battery tech in consumer devices will buldge within a certain number of charge cycles (which might be higher than the useful lifetime of the device), but it's very likely that the battery will bulge.

It’s not that the signs are bad insofar as the roads are old and weren’t designed for the speeds that people are driving and the volume of traffic that they handle. Cutting over four lanes over the course of a mile when everybody is going 50 and there’s plenty of room is significantly easier than how it is now.
Being receptive and responsive to critics is a function of marketing. And that's what this is -- marketing.

Further more just because the role exists doesn't mean it matters. My Org has all sorts of diversity and sustainability managers, and their relevance ends the moment business decisions come into play.

Then they can focus on just being a defense contractor. But there's nothing that requires them to bail out the commercial airline business, and it wouldn't be the first time a major aerospace and defense company made this pivot.

I think we all recognize that the web today has become overcomplicated. That said, a lot of Drew's advice here is dogmatic.

> Leave the page at its default font size and avoid using custom fonts, preferring to use vague selections like “sans-serif” and “monospace”.

Why? These are all easily customizable by the user.

> Try not to use a purely visual representation of information, such as an icon: these should always be paired with text.

There are plenty of near–universally recognizable icons. Do your OS's windows say "close" in the title bar, or do they simply have an X?

> Also avoid moving information around — animations and visually complex state transitions.

Animations can be overused, but they can also serve an important purpose: displaying the transition between states.

For example, when you scroll your mouse, does the window just snap to the next page? Or does it go bit by bit so you can see where the new information comes from, and where the old information goes? Which do you think is a better experience?
Because individual users don't give a lot of revenue to any SaaS company. That's why Notion just made their personal tier free.

It's a top of the funnel to convert people at workspaces into using the tool because they're familiar with it (not talking about Obsidian specifically, but in general).
Ok I'll bite: how is "you are free say what you want but you may have to face a firing squad" and different in experience to "you cannot say any of these things, if you do you will face a firing squad" ?

The whole POINT of 'free speech' is that there are no consequences.

(And no you shouldn't be allowed to shout 'fire' in a theatre).
Which, if you break it down further:

1. Everyone's "algorithm" is different. Even if you could bake every possible filter into your eGrocery product, can you imagine the UX nightmare?

2. The "that I like the most" is a tough thing to quantify. Who is "I"? Me? My wife? My kids? My mom who's coming to visit this weekend? What do I like? Specific brands? Things I've bought before? From that store, or a different one? Things I might like because they share characteristics?
I don't think there's many people out there other than Boomers that look at GE as an important brand name. I definitely don't have anything from them nor do I plan to buy anything any time soon.
No, but it probably depends on your definition of "way ahead".

There's a location here in Oregon that fails to tell motorists of a major traffic merge coming. If you miss the merge, you exit the freeway. Granted it's not difficult to get back on, but there's no way to know this in advance. Prior to the pandemic - at minimum once a month - there would be a traffic incident here because people don't get any warning this merge is coming up so make drastic changes at the last second.

Here's the location on street view. Notice there's nothing indicating a merge is coming on the far right lane:
https://www.google.com/maps/@45.3709178,-122.7485804,3a,75y,...

Once you enter the turn to go right, still no indication of an upcoming merge: https://www.google.com/maps/@45.3703302,-122.7526115,3a,75y,...

Here's the merge, but notice that it's not until further ahead that you're now being notified the far right lane is an exit lane:
https://www.google.com/maps/@45.37444,-122.7554676,3a,75y,13...

Result? A daily traffic nightmare and constant near-death experiences.

EDIT: BTW Google Maps makes it look like you have plenty of time to move from the exit lane and back onto the free-way, but it's an illusion. People are flying at high speeds on the left and you only have several seconds to get into the correct lane.

EDIT: Forgot to mention this funny part. Conversely on the other side of traffic for that same freeway (I-205), they DO make use of adequate signage. Here's one that shows a merge is coming up: https://www.google.com/maps/@45.370089,-122.749564,3a,75y,52...

About two miles down, they notify you well ahead of time that the far right lane will be an exit lane: https://www.google.com/maps/@45.373263,-122.7342592,3a,75y,8...
You debate an inherently bad-faith interlocutor, not to win the debate with them, but to win the audience. The thing is, something like stormfront is out there, whether twitter or whoever carries them or not. I'd like their drivel to be clearly exposed as drivel, and clearly understood to be drivel by everyone, so that when they get exposed to it in some unexpected way (they follow an innocent-looking link or whatever), then they take one look, think "Oh yeah, that garbage. Yeah, they make it sound good, but it's still trash." That happens when the stuff is publicly challenged and refuted, not when it's hidden away.
I think the better way to describe this would be that Airbus has more of their plane models be on a modern base. All of Airbus models are fly by wire and almost all share the same type rating.

Specifically the 737 and 757 are based on very old designs.

> Write notes every single time. Don’t copy paste notes from your kindle or phone, write manually, typing every single word. Also try to paraphrase, this way you are forced to actively think about the material you’re reading.

This basically got me through college.

With some of the less interesting stuff, my eyes would glide across the page without my brain being engaged at all. So I'd restart, and 10 minutes later I'd find I had read the same page 5 times and retained nothing.

Probably this happened because I impatiently wanted to get to the end ASAP, so I would try to rush the process, ironically slowing it down.

But knowing that I was going to be writing notes was enough to make my brain engage. I'm impatient, but I'm also too proud to write down something that I know isn't right, even in my own notes. Also, I guess it feels good to produce some kind of concrete work output.
My understanding is that Boeing has used composites for a wider variety of structures, and more complex structures than Airbus, though I am not the OP, or an expert in the field.

The article may be narrative, but you are parroting a similarly false narrative.

The way China dealt with Wuhan was that of the most extreme surveillance state and restricting every fundamental human right there was. The state claimed private property for its own. Arguably the most draconian lockdown seen in the last century anywhere. No democratic country has that sort of power.

We now know, that Chinese authorities did all of the following:

1. Silenced the messenger, ie. the first doctors who came out with news of this virus

2. Lied to the WHO about human to human transmission

3. Deliberately delayed information about the full scope of the epidemic in their nation, for weeks, while international flights were still running.

No one here is arguing that Trump did not completely mismanage this situation. But the main culprit of this crisis was elsewhere. Trump was the idiot at the gates that let in the Trojan horse. China was the one that constructed it.
