Walmart will be at the top. Government basically ran all the mom and pops out of business with the shutdown, funneling everyone into the big chains. I am sure all those apocryphal letters and emails from "someone in the national guard/white house" telling everyone the government would starve them if they didnt shop till they dropped, were from some psycho or more likely group of psychos working in the marketing department of a big retail chain.

The panic shopping really boosted sales and had the added bonus of draining everyone's wallets before the economic crash made everyone poor and unemployed. Of course, walmart gets to skim off the welfare too, so they really are an indestructible company. We should make them a government department already, seeing as how teaching people to apply for government subsidy is part of their employee training.
Target is notoriously bad for this. I got like half off an expensive supplement just by pulling up the website.
I'm pretty good at JavaScript ecosystem, like Webpack and all other staff.

But for me, to setup some full-sized project is still pretty daunting, and boilerplates and scaffolds are pretty messy and brittle.

When I'm setting up side projects, I would still use Basic Node.js + Parcel + Heroku as a starting point. It would only take minutes at most.
In the US, in the 50s most women weren't in the labor-force. That is about half of the population.
Got my nephew the $329 iPad, and its been great. No major complaints. We initially got him a similarly priced Chromebook, as they’re education targeted, but quickly returned. The Chromebook was unexpectedly sluggish and cumbersome.

Any educational apps you can recommend?
But that’s not the discussion. A land value tax captures pretty much all the value of the land. So a prime spot in a major city might cost $500,000 but have annual property taxes of $100,000.

The goal is to make the land unattractive unless you optimize the use of the land and build high density.
Too many of Google's eggs have been in one basket for quite some time. Thiel was spot on in Zero to One when he pointed out how many of Google's endeavors are simply a cover for its stranglehold (read: monopoly) on search and associated adds. Also, given Slack and Zoom's growth certainly Google is crying when it thinks about Wave and Hangouts.

Microsoft had to fall to get back up again. Now it's Google's turn.

The meta-question: Does the commentary in GPT-3's output apply to the output itself?
I imagine companies like Apple spend time scouring Amazon and other websites for unauthorized sellers or even buying one or two to check for fakes. But clearly it's too much for many brands to keep up with, especially if Amazon is only minimally cooperative.
Not sure why you are downvoted. But some subs like politics and worldnews are just pure propaganda and bots driven at this point.

IMO suggestions like "cancel Netflix" are meant to be a little deeper than just "stop spending $16 every month". Binge-watching the same old TV shows is such an easy depression loop to get stuck in :/

On Chrome based browsers on Android at least, it works perfectly fine with momentum. It even does accumulating momentum, I can easily get it up to 6,000px/frame.

Put another way, Google has a blindspot. It can't figure out what it can't figure out.
I would argue that making an offer that you know cannot be fulfilled "We price match other retailers!" because you know other retailers don't carry that SKU for identical products because it is limited to your store is misleading/deception.
I don't think this is true.

Reddit worked hard to keep alt-right viewpoints on the site, but subs like r/the_donald were so nasty that they had no choice. They also banned liberal subs at the same time.

Let's not act like Reddit is banning subs that discuss trickle down economics or debate the merits of a smaller government.
I hadn't been on reddit in years, but just went on from this post. I'd say it feels like "Youtube Comments, the app".
Great work. Good way to not have to see distracting posts with bot driven upvotes.

What technology stack did you use in the front end?
Totally get it! The team (@veshji and @euroelessar) struggled a bit in convincing me that the new Envoy way is a simpler one. I do not regret giving in.

Operationally, there are many differences (esp. around Observability) but if I were to distill it down to one thing it is a clean separation between data- and control-plane. This basically means that it was designed to be automated and the automation layer (xDS) itself runs just like any other normal service in production.

What do the numeric figures mean at the top of a topic card?

Things like 1b, 7b, 2.1bt and 11% and 17%

Is there somewhere that explains those? Did I miss some internet wide naming convention ??? :)
I am sorry, but I think you overcorrected. The problem was that we locked down at all. Nearly the same mitigation could have happened with masks, distance and isolation. Yes, testing was a shitshow.

But look at Spain, Australia etc. If you lock down, eventually the virus comes back. Here are literally the only options:

1. Lockdown fully and completely until there is a vaccine that's distributed

2. Lockdown hard until cases in (Region) are zero and then reopen without any outside entry to (Region)

3. Take public health measures like masking, isolation of sick, protection of weak and accept cases and deaths

4. Ignore it, accept lots of death and cases

This virus will continue to spread until there is immunity, either through natural means or vaccine. Lockdowns don't stop the virus unless migration is also stopped. Period. All it takes is one person to fall through the cracks and your 6 months of lockdown are thrown out the window.

There are structural problems that need to be addressed, the fact that hospitals are profit driven and operate near 100% capacity at all times. The fact that our public health departments are political by their leadership. The fact that there is zero trust of anyone anywhere.

But you fix all of those and you still have a virus that will spread until immunizations levels are met.

Finally, the Gulf States are having their _first wave_! They flattened the curve during the NYC outbreak. But people moved, virus spread.

Lockdowns are a terrible, blunt, unsustainable, damaging, dangerous and ineffective in the long run.

the parent comment is that we should build highspeed trains like the ones in other countries that demolish plane travel time and overall checkin to destination time.
yes, good point, it's been around since the 90s when all of the work done on it was funded by purely academic institutions. I'm 29 years old, and I started using Haskell in about 2009, and I think that's around the time when it started picking up a larger userbase too.
The last few times I’ve been to reddit /r/all was just full of news about Donald Trump. As someone that doesn’t really get current American politics I’m just so confused at how people don’t get tired of it. Like I get it, fill the front page for a few days in 2016... but its like every day... all the time... I just want cute pictures of cats... can’t we just have 1 happy place.
Among my cohort (20s-30s), I'd say it's 99% gmail. Is there something equally hegemonic for West Europe? A lot of my german friends use GMX but I don't see as much from other countries.

> So...what next? How do creators get paid?

I think Flattr has (or had) a model like...

1. you give Flattr a constant $X per month (you choose the X)

2. Flattr tracks the content you consume, using a browser plugin

3. Flattr divides up your $X among the creators you viewed, and sends it to them

I never used it, but it seems like an interesting model. I like the idea of spending a flat $30/month on "internet content", without agonizing about whether X webcomic deserves my Patreon support.
No, but I am not sure why you got downvoted for asking.
I agree with everything you just said. What I mean about quantum mechanics comes from the fact that neuroscience has never been able to locate "where" in the brain any memory is stored. I think consciousness and memory are interdependent, and that consciousness is essentially memory.

You can invent new thoughts and ideas, but they are always built from existing ones, as their building blocks. I think the answer to the question 'where/how' is memory 'stored' in the brain is: "It's not". I believe the brain is quantum mechanically connected to all prior states of itself (like all matter is), and so what we call 'memory' is actually a 'direct connection' thru spacetime to the actual event.

Needless to say it would take a book to describe this theory in detail, so maybe I'll write up all my thoughts at some point, but it explains lots of mysteries of intelligences once you accept this interconnection model. Everything from savantism, to instinct behaviors, to fungal intelligences falls into place.

Once you accept that all complex patterns in nature that 'evolve' are always still 'connected directly to' all prior copies of themselves, and able to exchange wave potentials, it makes many things that used to seem 'paranormal' or 'magical' suddenly have a more scientific explanation.

You have to have great machine learning and information organization solutions to function at that scale and I think it’s where the seams really show on Amazon’s two pizza team approach and deeply fractured dogfooding approaches to rely on internal versions of their external ML consumer services.
Not at all, first there is not one type of city riding, not one type of city rider and even each specific ride can be different.

Each city has different topography, traffic, weather, bike lanes, bike culture, helmets laws, side walk riding laws, common type of bikes etc.

A woman taking her kids to day care in Tokyo will probably ride on the sidewalk without an helmet on electric bike with two toddler sits. A guy riding to work in Sydney might come from a remote suburb on a sporty road bike where he can only ride on the road with the occasional bike lane in the inner city.

It is a completely different experience and require different type of routes. A good application needs to take into account all those parameters and deduct some optimal route. It is not that simple.

Wow, I remember reading about the “Wobblies” in my high school history book. I had no idea they were still around.
Building high-speed train track would provide exactly that, something like Shinkansen or CRH trains.
Maybe I'm wrong. I do hope the model works. But all I can think of when I see their business model is Spotify. Where content creators are being paid cents, and have to rely on alternative streams of income like concert and merch. Except in this case, there is no alternative, the patron model was supposed to be the alternative to ads and sponsorship.

I do wonder how much can be contributed to the content creator, even without considering the cut they take for their services. If I'm watching more than 5 content creators in the month, then they're getting less than a dollar each.

AWS is not a great place for small projects that you want to set up quickly. There are a lot of options with a much more lightweight setup experience: zeit/vercel, netlify, digitalocean, firebase.
What it costs to have your garbage collected also matters a lot.
On Twitch, they use subscriptions (for ad free), ad revenue, merch, donations directly and donations via Twitch.

Working really well for a lot of streamers. There is pretty much zero friction on the user end once a payment method is set up.

Of course, this is a live entertainment type service and they are basically selling interaction with the audience, but I don't see why that type of payment scheme can't transfer to other products.

On Twitch you can literally donate $.01 at a time.
Yes yes, everything we've ever done is bad, mmkay.
They don't. Or rather, there is some nuance to this. People value things that have high signal to noise ratios. I will read books (given they have a good review) over articles, or audiobooks over podcasts, both of which I pay for because I know that the signal is high relative to the noise. Creators, should they wish to make money, will move into these higher value productions.

One might say that this may not work for all types of content, to which I say, there is always an analogue. Upcoming are paid newsletters where before they were usually free, for example, or in the worst case, people will offer money via Patreon.
If I am a printer and print jobs that start out OK and then end up porn or right wing racist stuff, and I refuse those jobs, you feel you can sue to force me to do your stuff? Good luck.

Good question, I forgot to add that to the help section :)

B = board

t = topic

b = bookmark

bt = bookmarks per topic

The percentage is the "coverage" received by a given topic in each board. If a board has 10 bookmarks and 3 of them are labeled e.g. "topicX", topicX's coverage is 30%. Totals may add up to more than 100% due to multiple topic assignments.

It helps you figure out where you stand in terms of the information you collect. I sometimes have to e.g. research and compare a number of topics within a given theme (e.g. companies in nanotechnology), and I want to make sure I do enough digging on each one.

I'm here if you have more questions!
And there's that whole predatory lending business Opera makes a lot of its money from.
Here's the thing though: typically, the market discerns that wages have increased slowly and incrementally, which is why it's only able to incorporate that information over a period of time. If we passed a UBI in this country, suddenly, my landlord, the grocery store, etc. would all instantly know that my wages have increased, and by what amount.

Because housing expenses are generally the single largest expense in any household budget, that means landlords are going to reap the majority of the benefit here. People selling homes also know that wages have gone up and by what amount, so this will impact the sale price of new homes. So, any amount of UBI would end up being a huge cash transfer from renters to landlords and other existing homeowners.

Australian deflation is false though, as the CPI has been impacted significantly by the free child care. Wait and see what it looks like in ~6 months time when the next figures come out without any influence of free childcare.
I'm with you. People ignore the value these services bring, which at least for the consumer (even when poor) is far outsized what they are paying.
And as if that wasn’t impressive enough, Randy Linden also had a copy for the Sega Dreamcast, Bleemcast, where you could boot the emulator then load a PSX game. I think they had 3 or 4 versions for Gran Turismo, Tekken and a couple of other big games. It blows my mind how talented that guy is.
What about those who mostly rely on Fox news?
In my city they kept them as separate stores for quite a while, but in-store branding definitely changed colour. At one point, a Best Buy and Future Shop were actually sharing a parking lot. It was in a large "power center", with many stores between them, but still the same parking lot.

It took quite a while for Best Buy to finally rationalize its store locations and get rid of the redundancy. Some Future Shops took on Best Buy branding, and in cases like the one above one of them was picked to close.
Looks very nice.

Relatedly, I wish I could automatically freeze and archive every single web page I visit, minus heavy media, possibly with very low quality images. I tried squid and the internet archive’s proxies, but MITM’ing myself is just slightly too annoying. There’s SingleFile[0] which does pretty much exactly what I want, ripping every single page into a self-extracting HTML+zip file, but it runs inside the browser so it adds a little delay after you navigate to a page, again slightly too annoying. Anyone have a recommendation for a seamless way to do this? Otherwise I’ll probably roll my own extension that pipes every URL to a local process that rips in the background with e.g. selenium.

I wish there were a way to run fully privileged extensions in Firefox, i.e. in the browser context instead of the page...

> FWIW If you are worried this is just the honour system, which it is, be even more afraid of credit cards. Payment card settlement is entirely on the honour system and has fewer safeguards. Any merchant can present settlement paperwork saying card #123456789 agreed to pay me $8000 and your bank will by default take $8000 from the account #123456789 corresponds to.

They won't take money out of your bank account. They'll add $8000 to your credit card bill, and if you don't pay that bill they can report you to a credit bureau, cancel the card, take you to court, but you'll still have access to your money while it's all being sorted out. That's the argument for credit cards being safer.
