To be fair, a sport like sledding does not exist for the audience as much as for participants themselves. I doubt anyone gets into that sport to make a living out of it. I expect that's the case for most olympic disciplines.

Your critique is fair for a couple of other sports, particularly boxing/fighting and american football.
The odds of universities publishing zoom links are essentially zero. You might find individual faculty posting syllabi with Zoom links somewhere online that anyone can see -- this would likely fly under the radar.

To do this, you would definitely want to contact the professor in advance. Email addresses for individual faculty are in general published and very easy to find.

Works great here in Canada. My neighbors are Lebanese, Iranian (although he calls himself Persian), Polish and Brazilian. All very Canadian, which is not a synonym for assimilated.
For context, it is fairly well-established through historical records that the figure is not ancient, but was made perhaps in the 17th century as a satirical portrait of Oliver Cromwell [there are other theories]. So it's unlike the really prehistoric horse figures (eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uffington_White_Horse). Good to have the snails confirm this!

Your statement is rather misleading.

First of all, any people outside Germany need to know that "DHL" in Germany refers to the regular parcel post of the former German national post. What other countries outside Germany call "DHL" is actually called "DHL Express" in Germany and they are a separate subsidiary of Deutsche Post World Net. They have their own fleet of delivery cars and also local parcel depots.

Secondly, it's important to note that in Germany, Deutsche Post DHL delivers 95% of all packages within Germany on the next day. This means, that your insinuation that non-Amazon packages are not delivered fast is untrue.

And, thirdly, Amazon pays for their packages being prioritized. Amazon calls this delivery service "Amazon Prime", at DHL, these packages are internally called "PRIO" (it's also on the label) and Amazon actually pays for that. Other types of packages include "VIP" which is used for packages with valuable content.

And since Amazon pays your the prioritization of their packages, every other customer can do that as well with DHL guaranteeing that your package gets delivered on the next day.

However, since 95% of all DHL standard packages in Germany are delivered on the next day anyway, most customers aren't using this particular service. There is simply no gain since a standard parcel ("Paket" as compared to the even cheaper "Päckchen") already comes with tracking and insurance up to 500 Euros.

Please keep in mind that in the US, regular packages take 2-3 days which is why choosing priority shipment in the US makes a huge difference as compared to when ordering from Amazon Germany.

That's my whole point. No wonder people are unhappy when they rely on external things for happiness and fulfillment. It's peak stupidity.

I don't believe what you're describing is sustainable long term.

I think Jim Carrey said it best: "I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer."
It makes sense in the wider context of the republican party generally viewing free universal services as a bad thing - the push to privatize education, the push to eliminate or scale back public health care systems like medicare, the push to scale back public pension systems like social security.

A given politician might have their own reasons for wanting to privatize everything (profit, ideology, etc) but it's pretty consistent across the whole party that they aren't fond of any of these programs - I wouldn't actually attribute this to key donors.
Yes, same here. I noticed reddit is much better at providing (useful and direct) answers.

I think part of the reason for that is that off-reddit there's so much emphasis on SEO and analytics (trying to hit all the right keywords, linking to other pages/sites, tricking people to stay on a page/site longer etc.) that everything becomes very cluttered very quickly.
Same on Chrome...
> I live in one of the more multicultural cities in the Western world. I have seen little evidence to suggest that even second and third generation immigrants assimilate into the host culture more than superficially. I have seen plenty of evidence to the contrary, which I will not list here due to it being tangential and often mistaken for malice.

What city do you live in, exactly?

I live in Los Angeles - one of several metropolises that I've lived in on several continents - and the vast majority of second and third generation immigrants I've met have had no trouble assimilating into their host culture. As an immigrant, in fact, I have struggled to find any zero or first generation immigrants that do not bemoan that their offspring are completely detached from their culture. They consider themselves lucky if their grandkids still speak their "native" tongue at a primary school level.

What I have seen everywhere, however, is a lot of small minded people who are only capable of differentiating each other by superficial ethnic stereotypes, dominated by skin color and religion. They've always got "plenty of evidence" that they "will not list here due to it being tangential and often mistaken for malice."

My apologies if I've got the wrong impression, but perhaps your understanding and methods of "assimilation" are fundamentally flawed.
Free? It would have required more effort, but they could have encrypted all the data, and then sent the key to a well-known white-hat security researcher, or someone who could be trusted to administrate important cases (they'd of course be free to ignore it). The encryption could be done on the compromised server with a forEach, so it'd be a single request.

I think some people in this thread want to be a bit too "absolutist" about it. Everyone's servers were exposed to heartbleed, spectre, meltdown, etc so the absolutists would apparently want the whole internet deleted.

Edit: It would be helpful if down-voter could explain (I might learn something).

I think this is the norm in Canada. I’m getting all of my packages from a third party logistics company. A small local operation. This is in a major central city.

That’s probably because Canada Post is just so terrible and expensive here that it’s worth it.

> Is that because there's cross-subsidy from non-rural folks

This is how a lot of subsidies work in the US. City-dwellers subsidize rural communities.

> you think USPS is more efficient than a private sector alternative would be?

Likely any cost savings non-rural people would see is at the cost of pensions, employee benefits, or other potential stones-to-be-bled. If USPS is privatized, these things will be strangled to death.

> Wouldn't this more logically be something for the states to do?

No, I don't think so. This is just a backdoor to make privatization easier: whenever some state either mismanages their postal service or simply can't keep it afloat, we'll be at the cutting block again. Furthermore, there's obvious potential efficiencies an interstate mail network has compared to a state-level mail network. The "decentralization" here just necessitates more communication overhead, potentially different laws requiring re-sorting, and a bunch of other potential headaches.
I don't think this is the case of people not being concerned, but simply the ignorance on their part about the setup. People just presume that the defaults are safe, and never bother getting into the details.
I use Plausible and switched immediately after the launch from GA. I am very satisfied except that it seems that I cannot share sites with other people, if we are more than 1 that manage it.

I hope they'll fix that!
Ask HN: Any improvement in Gmail's treatment of small servers in the past year?
It's been over a year since the Google Is Eating Our Mail (https://www.tablix.org/~avian/blog/archives/2019/04/google_is_eating_our_mail/) post trended on HN. In that thread, a Gmail PM reassured that Google does have an incentive to cooperate with smaller email servers and fix problems like their mail getting rejected or delivered to the Spam folder when sent to Gmail addresses (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19758386 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19759411).

I'm wondering whether any of you have seen any improvements on this front in the past year. Are there any new introspection tools to diagnose deliverability problems when they happen? New guidelines which verifiably reduce the probability of such problems occurring?

As an administrator of a small email server (with SPF/DKIM/DMARC/MTA-STS set up properly and a clean reputation of 5+ years), from my point of view nothing has changed, except perhaps for the worse. Email sent to Gmail users seems to end up in the Spam folder more often than before.

In case you're not familiar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technocracy

By definition a technocrat would be ordained as an expert in his field. However, this does not preclude the fallibility of man. If we extrapolate from this, we can say that it would be impossible for an individual or group of individuals to obtain the perfect information necessary to ideally centrally plan a society.

There is a propensity for 'experts' in their field to massage data to suit political or personal goals. Heart attack deaths are down, but COVID deaths are up. Some have suggested that this is due to selective reporting of deaths which would otherwise be cardiac arrests as COVID related deaths.

There's also the problem of the unseen. Even if the epidemiologists could have the perfect information in regards to controlling an outbreak, they wouldn't necessarily appreciate the economic or social implications of their mandates.

If we accept these limitations, we can say that greater information can be obtained via the network effects of decentralized decision making. This is the value of individualism which has allowed the west to flourish, whereas more communal cultures have been regressive. Of course this is all a very general overview.

>and now we're experiencing Covid spikes. I wonder why?

I'll ignore your cherry picking and refrain from picking an equivalent counter-example.

If we accept that the US has failed in managing the covid crisis, then we should just as readily ask if top-down planning has been effective. Instead you focus on the inverse.
I question this logic - there seem to be fundamental differences in even the basic services between various cloud providers. For example you can resize a compute-attached disk size live in GCP while you can't in AWS. Many intricacies like this are annoying, but at the same time advantageous if you know and use them. If you are primarily trying to just offer another layer on top of these cloud services, (like snowflake) where cross-cloud compatibility is part of your selling point, then it makes sense to abstract the cloud layer. Otherwise, I feel like it's better to choose a reliable vendor and stick to them, optimizing according to their strengths/weaknesses. Or go cross cloud but for very specific technologies (iirc BuzzFeed did this).
None of this is simple. We're drowning in YAML files. It's difficult to maintain. Jinja + ansible + helm... it's a joke.

There must be a better way of doing all this.
What the original OP said about German parcel services was wrong anyway. Even standard DHL packages in Germany are delivered the next day 95% of the cases.

It's just that Amazon pays DHL extra money that they guarantee next day delivery. It's just that Amazon can tell their customers that the shipment will arrive on a certain date.

However, as I said, since 95% of DHL standard packages arrive on the next day in Germany anyway, there is no point trying to scandalize Amazon's prioritized treatment (which they also pay for, btw).

Source: A close family member of mine works at DHL Germany so I have some insight on their business.
Interesting.

My guess is that in EE and laboratory-based CS, professors have a lot of work that they can readily farm out to people working under their supervision. This is less true in math, where it typically requires a big effort to get a student up to speed.
As an administrator of a small email server, I've never had problems. I even send automated garbage from nagios/munin/etc without SPF or DKIM and it makes it into the inbox on Google.

Anatomy of a ‘Mega-Blaze’
Hi,

thanks for your input, it's greatly appreciated. I'm quite new to considering my power consumption, so indeed I may still do naive choices. I only based it on the reputation of ARM for being more energy efficient, and the observation that ARM devices indeed run longer with a full battery charge (but there may indeed be a lot of secondary variables explaining it).

I'm curious : how do you measure the consumption of electricity in watts? Is there a tool meant for that?

Amazon uses multiple delivery companies in Germany, including their own Amazon Logistics, Hermes, DHL standard, DHL Express, UPS, Pin AG and Deutsche Post Letter.

It usually depends on the location of the recipient.
well, the API is supposed to be a payment api that you can look up previous payments made to it, and verify names, IBAN codes etc. And thought should be given to what a normal financial application api might be like. From scratch in a language I specified I could do maintenance level coding in.

But yes, I guess that's probably the advice I'm going with, it has definitely soured me on going further.

One problem I see is that for more tech-savy Linux users, which are the people most CLI software is targeted at, convenience means simply installing something via their distributions package manager. I am not interested in downloading your precompiled static binary or setting up your private repository. I want to run `foo install bar` and get on with my work.

On the other hand there are some more mainstream optionally paid for (via Steam/Windows Store) GUI tools that I can freely download using my package manager, presumably because the main target audience actually prefers the paid distribution channels.

I think the GUI/CLI app markets could be more different than you think.
Yeah, but in order for your project to be successful in that way it would have to mean that a lot of people need to sign up.

I live in a rural area in northen europe, they chances of this site becoming big enough for it to be interesting for me are very slim. Of course I could find internet friends through it, but that's not what the site claims to aim to solve for me.

I don't want to be negative, but I think the most common first question will be what gender people are since that info is missing. People will just go around whatever obstacles exist in order to date if that's what they want. I would suggest instead of having a separate dating section so those people will fill up there instead.

Dating and sex also sells and could help the signups along the way.

Good article, but I thought webpack is founded by The OpenJS Foundation these days, who are making an astonishing job of identifying and sustaining core web packages. Unfortunately, they also picked controversial software like AMP (in exchange for contributions by Google I guess) to make it appear a grassroots or "legitimate" effort. Also, I think the ongoing trend to slap a thin wrapper on top of F/OSS and sell it as a service (aka "the Cloud") points to a weakness in F/OSS licensing schemes that needs to be addressed as I'm sure that almost all devs working on F/OSS don't intend their work to become part of a lock-in scheme, mass surveillance, or both, all the while not even getting contributions back. Apart from the licensing situation, F/OSS developers serious about generating an income might also need to work on integration and polish; at least it's what the success of stuff like Docker suggests, which, as super-practical as it is, in a way is benefitting from "too much" F/OSS, too many Linux distros, either too much or not enough NIH in F/OSS, F/OSS failing to directly engage with their user base, and/or developers not personally promoting their software such that the whole thing is falling prey to large corporations giving the illusion of order and maintenance, when the reality is that the initial development of any package of significant depth and its maintenance can only be provided by individual developers or small teams in the end.

Thing is. Whilst doing stock buybacks and dividends is best for the stockholders, it isn't best for the employees. Nor is it good for other stakeholders in the company.

In our modern state of stockholder supremacy, that doesn't tend to matter much. But I think it should matter more.

In today's world of powerful neural networks, one would think training a network to identify sites which try to get the user to pay for something wouldn't be that hard.

I think this is instead an active choice on the part of Google. When the options are "show someone's personal blog as the top result" or "show some company as the top result", they always choose the latter because a company is somehow believed to be more trustworthy.
Well, of course nice things can bring you joy. But after the initial delight only through the experiences the things bring.

Like the very nice in the suburbs with the huge garden won’t bring you much joy if you always come home after dark and never have time to play with the kids outside our having friends over because your commute and the need to work long hours to afford it.

On the other hand, it brings me great joy just strolling around the garden watching everything growing or picking raspberries with my 3 year old son. So of course, in a sense, the house and the garden brings me joy.

Or take another example. I have a nice $300 fountain pen. It brings me a little bit of joy every time I pick it up to write with it, just because the nib has the right amount of flex and it balances so well in my hand, the surface is soft but not slippery, etc. And I make sure that I have reason to use it for note taking and journaling, because it wouldn’t make me happy with dried ink in a drawer, or just looking nice in a stand on the top of my desk.

So, it’s not that things are unimportant. Not at all. But I think we need to think about how they bring us happiness, because it is not the ownership in itself. (Then I’m certain that there is a class of people who thrives from a warm cozy feeling of just staring at a bank statement with a large positive amount.)
Does Amazon pay extra for priority service? According to the first sentence of the article:

> The delivery of first-class and priority mail is being intentionally delayed so that letter carriers can prioritize the delivery of Amazon packages

it's priority and first-class mail that is being delayed in favour of (fourth-class) Amazon packages.
And everything can be implemented in assembly, that doesn't mean that there aren't superior alternatives.
I know about spans and stackalloc, I mean quite literally does the word affordance mean something technical here that I've not come across?
> It's just a normal service like any other. Normal companies do that just fine.

No, they don't. Like others have mentioned USPS delivers to anyone in the extended U.S. with sane prices. They also provide sane international shipping prices. USPS also provides other services like free shipping materials and free pickup. Hiding these and the other services they provide behind companies who only care about the bottom line would hurt people who couldn't afford the services or simply have services they're used to dropped.
If only the other side felt the same way.
