Amazon makes money by being so damn easy to spend your money and get products. One click buying probably increased the average American's monthly spending a decent percentage alone.

Making it just as easy for third party sellers is a no brainier, and will only increase their influence and grasp.

Especially if they can cut small business overhead significantly. Today, why would anyone want the overhead of building and maintaining an ecommerce site when their business is too small to do it without lots of money and additional overhead.

> That’s not what is going on. News broadcasters are denouncing it as dangerous, and we can’t talk about it. Social media is banning videos by actual doctors.

Certainly context is important here.

Taking regular antibiotics is also touted as dangerous and widely criticized because of the potential fallout effects of doing so, and yet I just finished a prescription of Moxifloxacin to resolve pneumonia and pleural effusion. It doesn't mean that the criticism is wrong.

And, forgive me if I'm mistaken, but isn't the video that was removed by a doctor who is known for citing some vaccines as coming from alien DNA and criticizing mask-wearing as a useless endeavour? If so, then I'm not terribly surprised. And regardless, I don't believe that falls under the definition of free speech anyhow—Twitter is a private company (this is the platform coming under fire for that, yeah?).

> A pizza 2 inches deep? Surely there is another name for such a meal.

Yes, it's a tourist trap meal. We here in Chicago really do like deep-dish pizza, but many of the more famous brands exaggerate the thickness because it seems as though tourists prefer it that way. A typical Chicago resident isn't going to buy one like this more than once every few years, unless they have visitors that insist on it.

You eat it with a fork and knife. Despite the huge amount of cheese and sauce, a good one will have a really crunchy crust and it should be so good that you consider it one of the best parts of the pizza.

The flavor/preparation/ingredients are what make a good Chicago-style pizza and not the thickness. In more residential areas, you'll have pizza shops where the deep dish pizza is no more than 1 inch, which is really what a Chicago resident buys for themselves (but the thin crust is most definitely purchased more frequently).
I think a big part of the issue with these things is that porting popular applications is not a high priority in the industry. I pitched porting v8 to RISC-V to a few companies a couple years back, and it seems like they were not interested in that.

Getting ATX (or other standardized) form-factor boards with chips big enough to test applications on, in my opinion, should be a high priority. As much as people talk about "post-PC" or whatever, PC-form-factor computers are the center of development and understanding, especially for server applications.

Being able to buy or use existing power supplies, chassis, disks, NICs, and GPUs (and maybe DIMMs, if that's not a massive engineering challenge) and put together a "PC" I think is really the key to development of the architecture, and they're a portal to applications like Windows laptops (see Qualcomm AArch64 laptops) and Chromebooks (big part of what I was thinking of when I begun and abandoned porting V8).

If there were ATX form-factor AArch64 boards available for less than a thousand bucks early on, it would have hit Android and laptops possibly a year or two earlier, with significantly less specific investment from ARM Holdings.

I do know that "bet paid off for us."

I know that because it wasn't a one time incident. We continued to consciously and intentionally consume zinc-rich foods at a greater rate than normal and it successfully alleviated symptoms that had us concerned. It did so consistently for some period of time until those symptoms finally resolved. We pay very close attention to our diets because of the medical situation. So I know we were consuming abnormally high levels of zinc for some weeks.

Your framing seems to suggest you think I am saying zinc helped "cure" us of the infection. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying it helped mitigate the worst of our symptoms, which is a completely different claim.

You are correct that I don't know for absolute certain that we had Covid-19 because that was never verified by testing. I've already made that clear and also made it clear that I'm not suggesting treatment to anyone else.

I'm aware there are people promoting zinc as a means to cure Covid-19. I'm not remotely suggesting that.

Even if you accept that I'm correct about having it and I'm correct about zinc helping us, the only takeaway here is that zinc may mitigate some symptoms in some populations, especially populations prone to nutrient deficiencies.

If you have any reason to believe you are zinc deficient, zinc is a good thing to take to treat your deficiency. If you aren't deficient, I'm not recommending it for any purpose.

This is a consistent stance of mine and has been for many years: It's a good thing to determine if you have deficiencies and redress those deficiencies. Otherwise, I absolutely don't recommend any kind of supplement at all. I think it's a dangerous practice to take supplements if you aren't deficient.

Contrary to what I am realizing is a common misconception in this thread that $SNAP is struggling, it is actually doing very well.
The US legalized same sex marriage in 2003 via a ruling of the Massachusetts Supreme Court and it came into effect in 2004. That's ten years prior to the UK. The Full Faith and Credit Clause of the Constitution made those marriages binding everywhere in the US.

Comparing a European country to the US is, in the vast majority of cases, blub provincialism. On the US scale, Qaddafi's atrocities were in every Londoner's back yard. England is the size of Alabama and the western leg of the first US trans-continental railroad was longer than all the high speed rail in France.

It's that convenient smugness that glosses over the historical fact that the Trans-Atlantic slave trade was a European endeavor. Europeans in Europe were turning profit by selling slaves to Europeans in the Americas.

And of course, same sex-marriage is still against the adopted policy of the UK's official churches which in 2016 kicked the Episcopalians out for performing same-sex marriages. The same year the Orlando Pride started playing. The next year, they moved along with the Lions to the stadium with the 49 rainbow seats.

It would be to hope, that they release some rack-mounted hardware with their ARMs. It is actually surprising that the big users of server hardware have not pushed stronger towards ARM. It would absolutely make sense for Apple to use their own Silicon for their serving infrastructure as well as selling them to any interested party, as this increases the unit count of the Apple Silicon, which drives down the cost for all Macs.

I haven't used an Iphone since the Iphone 6 (2014) and I just got an Ipad a few months ago and I was absolutely blown away that the app store is still as bad as it was in 2014. I still have to go to 3rd party websites to actually filter out and find tags and the GOOD apps/games that don't make it to the front page of the app store.

It's wild. Maybe I have the same problem on android and I'm just so used to only using the apps I've known for the last 10+ years that I haven't realized it. I don't really game on Android like I do my ipad, that's where I started to realize I was just not finding things unless I went 3rd party site or found their name and searched directly for them.
> On 2), using the iPad Pro puts me in the opposite camp, where sheer performance is better from my perception. The limitations come more from what I can do that how good/fast/responsive it is done.

How much of that is because it's using a 120hz display, vs 60hz on most computers?
Just on pure aesthetics, I had kind of wanted an Xserve as a recording computer to put in the rack next to all the synth modules. Of course, it never made financial sense to do so.
Refusing to tag a v1.0 at least signals your intentions of API instability, so I don't see how it's abuse. Semver without incrementing a 0 major version is just the status quo of arbitrary versioning where anything can break, and you have to scour patch notes to find out. But it's not abuse. It's what we live with with the vast majority of software.

The difference is that someone doing that on semver at least may cross the threshold into sanity one day, or is signalling that it's possibly in their roadmap. Seems like a notch better than the rest of software.

But I think your frustration makes more sense reserved for the 99% rest of software.

Same exact thing happened to me at Microsoft during the system design interview round. Interviewer wouldn't just let me explain and kept on arguing about a relatively minor issue and wouldn't let me proceed and in the end failed me because I didn't come up with a good design. Really the whole 45 minutes were like him repeatedly stopping me and coming back to that one issue.
look at all the articles since 2010 or so about Amazon and Tesla being bubbles. Or before that, articles in 2007-2010 about Facebook being Myspace. Or about Uber dying due to debt (this was in 2014-2016). These are the companies pundits write the most about ,and have been wrong. Yeah, many unicorns do fail or get acquired for sub-billion, but pundits seldom if ever write about them, except when they fail. The media wrote way more articles about Uber being a bubble than Fab, even though Fab died and Uber is doing well and worth >$40 billion .

Underrated comment. This is something that has been on my mind for some time.

A symbiotic relationship between entertainment, news, and the legal system developed to something very different than what we have been accustomed to. It may be a dangerous arrangement, not all that different from the way labor is provided to the prison system, entertainment content is provided to the news media.
I agree that was what I originally disliked about Facebook. But I think a bigger problem (that definitely got worse over time) was the way everything gets swept away on FB. If you see something, it's very difficult to get back to it later. This is demoralizing for the writers too.
It's not really about whether the software is actually more stable, it's the signaling the project gives by choosing to hold their version numbers in semver's semantic no-man's-land where the version numbers aren't expected to give a clear indication of the severity of the change.

In particular, what the signal says is, "We aren't yet ready to think about or support the needs of someone who's trying to use this in production."

Which, if the project is also then pitching the software as production-ready, is a terrible mixed message. Maintainers really should pick one story and stick with it.

Since the magic of TikTok is the "for you" page, if reels does not replicate well then it may not take away a significant share.

>Europe [The member countries of the EU, not the entire continent] is responsible for the largest portion of construction costs (45.6 percent); the remainder is shared equally by China, India, Japan, Korea, Russia and the US (9.1 percent each). The Members contribute very little monetary contribution to the project: instead, nine-tenths of contributions will be delivered to the ITER Organization in the form of completed components, systems or buildings. In this way, the scientific and industrial fabric in each Member is prepared for the step after ITER—the conception and realization of the type of prototype fusion reactor that will demonstrate industrial-scale fusion electricity within this half of the century. For all Members, the potential benefits of participation are significant: by contributing a portion of the project's costs, Members benefit from 100 percent of the scientific results and all generated intellectual property.

Again, I suspect we agree on most of this.

It's definitely different for junior positions, when someone hasn't had enough time to build up a breadth of experience yet and getting to a useful depth of understanding in at least one area is more important.

FWIW, I also think it's different at elite levels. If you actually are the person who had to, say, develop a data storage system for Facebook at a scale no-one had ever done before, you're probably a database specialist with skills and knowledge in that area far beyond any generalist's. But these positions are rare, as is the need to have someone with that level of specialist skills on your team.

For seniors at a high but not exceptional level -- that is, the most senior people you're likely to find in most organisations doing web development -- it's definitely normal for someone to develop both breadth and depth of skill and understanding throughout their career. No doubt many front-end developers (in the programming sense) do also have some level of ability with design work, and many back-end developers (ditto) do also have some level of ability with database design. There's certainly nothing wrong with that, and it's certainly helpful to have that level of understanding whether it's to use the skills directly or just to communicate more effectively with a colleague who has responsibility for that aspect of the work.

The only area where perhaps we would slightly disagree is in the idea that being a senior front-end or back-end developer necessarily requires advanced skills in specific related areas as well. The industry is huge and the number of related skills that are potentially useful is large, and which ones are useful for a particular person playing a particular role can vary widely.

For example, I've met someone who is very capable when it comes to writing server-side code yet who as far as I know has never touched a database in well over a decade. Their speciality is interfaces for network-connected devices. While a recent project for them might well have had a snazzy SPA on the front-end and a super-dooper GraphQL API running server-side, what is behind that API is probably nothing like a SQL or NoSQL database at all. On the other hand, they probably know a lot more about calling local C APIs from server-side languages like JS or Python than most. I would certainly call that person a senior level developer -- I doubt there are more than a few thousand people in the entire world with the combination of skills and experience they have, maybe not even that many -- but it seems they would not clear the bar for you because they lack significant database expertise?
Researchers Say Teslas Aren’t Safer on Autopilot, Call for Driver Monitoring
I did a working holiday in the Oz to do fiber optic network stuff for the NBN. Applied to Amazon and one or two others (Telstra, et al) in Australia on a lark. I still get hit up by them occasionally.

Eventually I decided to bite, and responded back to a recruiter. "Why are you contacting me, I'm not in the Oz"

The answer was along the lines of the parent comment: "good technical hires go to London or San Fran."
I'm not sure it's right to see this as a cost. Natural famines were themselves long-term risks and great catastrophes - every premodern state lived with the knowledge that, if the weather turned bad, they might suddenly run out of food and lose a tenth or more of their population. As far as I know, none of modern farming's tail risks approach that scale of disaster.
Sounds like you’re not convinced.

Yes, I understand you fully acknowledge you may not have had it, but that acknowledgement contradicts that claim that zinc consumption alleviated its effects. What you can say is that you may have had Covid-19, and increased zinc consumption may have helped.

To a consumer a 1.0.0 may be more stable.

At a 1.0.0 you expect the authors to not change the API for what ever the API is for the thing. Your interactions with the software have an expected level of stability and authors don't need to take into account prior to that.

Stable means no changing or firmly established. Once you tag a 1.0.0 you say that some things will no longer change. Hence, an element of stability.
