I don't.

I have been a professional job seeker for 11 years since I have left college. I guess I would call myself a front-end developer though I have never had a front-end job. I am able to find work here and there as a freelancer and I have worked one tech job in QA in my 20s. I am now in my 30s. I make the majority of my money flipping stuff and working in service industry jobs and occasionally find work as a designer, developer, photographer, videographer, video editor, and much more....I know how to do a lot of things, but finding a job isn't one of them.

This has developed a lack of trust in humanity for me and a great mental illness. I have and probably won't ever trust an individual again when one grows up trying their hardest to develop skills when skills don't matter.
If the food doesn't travel well, maybe don't offer it for take-out? I'm just as likely to ding a restaurant with a bad review if I pick up food and don't like it as if GrubHub delivers it and I don't like it.
WHat if the delivery person that grubhub uses is useless and the regular delivery person that Restaurant X uses isn't.

YOu can end up getting poorly delivered cold food from GrubHub and make restaurant X look bad.

Restaurant X might end up having a load of disappointed customers, reduced custom and have no idea why. They dont know there is actually now a middle man they didn't agree to between them and their customer.
By which definition?

Congrats on the free money. It's pretty well known class action suits serve only to enrichen counsel, and in rare occasions may have a side effect of marginally disrupting a business's cash flow.
Nintendo is strange about it, though. They usually only C&D projects bring their IP to other platforms (discounting emulation for a bit since emulation doesn’t directly infringe). They have allowed numerous ROM hacks to exist completely unimpeded. If Mario Royale had been a combination ROM hack and LUA script/custom emulator, it’d probably still be around. I’m honestly surprised I haven’t heard much about them going after the SM64 ports.
Nothing says 'fearless' like taking 'risks' where you're safe, but other people are endangered.

More for sure but that has to do with density not party lines. Again I wish it were that simple but corruption doesn't know party lines.
I've always liked 1/7 as well, and I never realized that thing about doubling from 7 giving 14, 28, 56. People are always impressed when I can rattle off the digits of x/7.

By the way, I appreciate your use of U+0305 combining overline. Did you enter those manually or do you have some neat way of doing it?

Pandemic of 1890 might be a better example, because it is speculated it was caused by the OC43 coronovirus. It lasted 4 years.
I agree that class actual settlements are Usually underwhelming, but were you specifically (even in expectation/probabilistically) hurt by those wrongs, and if so, what do you think is the more accurate figure for the harm you faced?
I'm no expert on this particular issue, but I would guess that the FTC has the authority to impose regulation against things like this. If so, then, if everything were functioning well, there wouldn't necessarily be any need to change laws.

It's also possible that it's already a tort, or can relatively quickly be established as tort by the outcome of a lawsuit like this.

In general, Congress isn't where you go first; Congress is where you go when all else fails and you're willing to take your chances putting a decision like this to a bunch of people whose paychecks are, to an approximation, paid by the companies with the deepest pockets.
This is really clever. Just couldn't exist without the changes/standardization in browser technology that have happened in the past 1-2 years. Congrats, and really excited about the potential.
> New York and Sweden have tackled the virus have been the most consistent. There was a large first wave, but no second wave (measured in deaths).

Sweden reported all time high new case numbers today. They have also enacted stricter restrictions in recent days than they've done so far.

The death numbers haven't risen yet, but hospitalizations are on the way up.
> The state administers the largest corporate welfare program in the economy via government-guaranteed mortgages.

It's easy to make an efficient economy, it's harder to make one that produces results that are morally acceptable. How do you propose making housing feasible to most people?
I mean it's easy to make a society more efficient by eliminating those with special needs as well, we know that, we just don't want it.
The lawsuit [1] lists the following Factual Allegations:

• Gruhub tells consumers it’s working cooperatively with restaurants

• Grubhub decides to add unaffiliated restaurants to its website and mobile apps without the restaurants’ permission

• Grubhub’s unauthorized use of restaurants’ names and logos misleads consumers and harms restaurants

• Restaurants have good reasons for choosing not to work with Grubhub

◦ Grubhub knows restaurants don’t want its business and tells drivers to disguise their affiliation with Grubhub

◦ Consumers continue to believe restaurants on Grubhub are working cooperatively with Grubhub

◦ Customer confusion leads to poor experiences that hurt restaurants’ hard-earned reputations

◦ Grubhub diverts and impairs demand for local restaurants

• Grubhub knows it is harming restaurants and uses that harm to force restaurants into unwanted partnerships

Where Terrorism Finds Support in the Muslim World (2006)
Accidentally found this statistics and it's quite shocking. I don't want to start a debate about racism. These are just numbers. But we should think about it how this impacts the possibility to make peace between western countries and certain muslim countries.
We're excited to serve you as a customer! And thanks for the feedback that the Instagram snippets helped.

So strange. Published another post about the same topic an hour before you
This seems like a problem that the review companies are responsible for—coalescing reviews into a single, no-context scalar—moreso than it is the intermediaries' fault.

The original comment stands. If a substantial portion of people are ordering takeout from intermediaries, it's reasonable that when one of those customers checks the reviews, they contain relevant info from others who've ordered the same way and shared their thoughts. Getting in a huff because of that is akin to trying to silence people talking about you because you don't like what those people are saying and/or how other people are responding to it.

If review sites are unfairly mixing irrelevant info (presenting takeout experience using intermediaries to customers who are looking exclusively to dine in), then the ire should be aimed at those sites and, ultimately, the dine-in customers who let irrelevant info dissuade them from going through with their order.

One problem with the Jamestown colony seems to have been that the settlers were only this kind of people, not people who could do useful stuff.
I have been bitten by Firebase scalability restrictions before, so good to see alternatives coming up. How do you compare to Supabase (http://supabase.io/)?
There are react libraries that offer a basic level of offline support (urql, apollo). You can maybe query data you already have cached, perform mutations and optimistically update the cache offline while the update is hopefully queued (maybe persistent across restarts?) until you go back online. Nothing close to couchbase or realm sync though.
The biggest issue, that we have around here, is that GH, and a few other outfits, SEO-spam their listings, sometimes, using branding elements taken directly from the restaurant's sites, and force themselves to the top of searches.

If there are any issues with the order, I guarantee that GH does a quick dash for the door, leaving the restaurant holding the bag. The problem may have occurred anyway, but the customer was actually GH, not the person who called GH.

GH made a sale, got a commission, then didn't have to stand behind their sale.

It may not be illegal, but it is not-nice.
There is a serious lack of resilience here and I'm sorry this poor fellow got crushed by his own van; Anyone who's been to a Python conference in the last 5 years can likely attest to the "changes" that have taken place, and perhaps if this fellow had written the article before getting crucified I'd have more sympathy for him.

Extremists generally eat their own to further advance their own extremism and their individual position within the group. I wonder, how many did they come for, before him and how many times did he not speak out?
Show HN: We reverse engineered Notion’s API and built 30 automations
I’m using Notion to organize all my personal and professional life, especially after migrating from Evernote.
The amazing thing about notion, is the flexibility of the Views (Table, Kanban, Calendar…).

However, Notion is slow. And is lacking this long waited API to connect it with other tools. Just search “Notion API” on Twitter and you will see +20 tweets per day asking their support about the API ETA.

So, I was so IMPATIENT that I reverse engineered their private API, to be able to read/update/delete any page/view – and then connect it with other tools using Zapier.

Today, I’m launching with my friend Shubham a tool with:
- Zapier private connector
- API documentation to hack around it
- 30+ zaps ready to clone

One use case that motivated building this: Create automatically a note page for every Google calendar event that has a Zoom or Google Meet link. So that I can gather all meeting notes on a Calendar View on Notion :)

We’ll be here all day answering any question you may have!

Agree to disagree (without calling it stupid beyond comprehension). Design is so much more than final UI. It's the whole experience, how it works and how it's distributed. And that involves a lot of stakeholders, not just one designer.

Tucker Carlson Reports He Lost Only Copy of Documents That Nail Biden

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/10/tucker-carlson-lost-...
I registered an account to comment because this made me laugh. One does not simply export images from medical systems. It takes a ton of effort and clicking to get patient images out of most PACS systems IF YOU ARE LUCKY. DICOM images are often high bit-depth JPEG2000 and are hard to get access to because of the way PACS systems and medical devices store data. Screen scraping DICOMs would take ages as each DICOM can have any number of slices. You don't want to lose the original bit-depth either as radiologists use contrast enhancement techniques which don't work with images encoded in 8-bits like screen scrapes. The PACS tech industry is simply painful to deal with.

> Pointing things out over Zoom screenshare is highly time consuming ("click the 4th checkbox on the right", "click the handle and drag")

There are also accessibility issues, on both sides of the connection. For example, if the person providing support is blind, image-based screen sharing is completely unusable; they would have to ask the customer to run a screen reader and share audio (or more likely, they just wouldn't be able to get a job providing remote support in the first place, even if they're technically proficient). If the person receiving support is blind, or has some other disability, it may be challenging for them to get the person providing support to give them instructions that work for them.

In principle, this DOM-sharing approach could solve these problems. Implementing a shared cursor in an accessible way could be an interesting challenge though.
This amazing marketing and very forward looking.

I hope the majority of these conversions are for vanity cars that don't get driven that often. Heavy old cars with horrible safety ratings shouldn't be spending more time on the road.
I will say that for my wife it was mixture. She's patriotic, and it was also the best choice to get her life started after high school. I imagine it's probably some combination for most people.

These were announced two hours ago and are by far the harshest we've had so far in Sweden. They also only cover 43% of the population. (Edit: 57%, also counting the Skåne region's similar recommendations)
You'll find that nobody advertises for your skillset, because statistically speaking you don't exist. I wound up in my current, quite unique, position, by putting in for a position writing firmware. I wasn't deeply qualified for firmware, but I thought it would be interesting work and I was confident in my ability to learn how to it professionally. They ended up hiring another person for that job, but they also hired me. Now they're trying to hire more of me and finding it impossible. Eventually they'll cave and let me train somebody.

Disclaimer: my skillset includes a lot of non-software engineering, and I work for a company that does a lot more than software.
What are the top job skills for the future?
By that time, there may even be another threat that proves far more deadly, particularly to young people. For example, car accidents.
Of course you always need some common sense in the process. But it needs to be sense, and not arbitrary, capricious behaviour. And you're right that's something you can never quite encode in the rules. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't have them. Real world laws are also subject to interpretation, with tons of unclear edge cases, but it's still good that they ban murder, theft, and those kind of things.

But yeah, except in extreme cases, I would expect an organisation of such an event to indeed mildly tap the offender on the wrist and maybe help to prevent it in the future. Or tell the complainer that it's not actually a violation of the CoC when it isn't.

Not everything needs to be punished. Just informing people is often enough.
MemgraphDB: Why and how we implemented Bolt Protocol v4
Hey HN,

Karim here from Memgraph.

One of the biggest changes in our latest Memgraph 1.2 release, was the addition of Bolt v4 and v4.1 support.

We thought that it would be interesting to discuss the Bolt Protocol for those of you who are interested in graph databases, and explore what goes into being wire-compatible with another database system.

Please let us know if you have any questions. We're here to help.

Thanks!
I just checked my chat history - I used it in 2013, and there's a huge flood of "welp" from my chat partner between 2015 and 2019. (In 2020, the ball is on my side of the court again, it seems. Welp.)
I don't know if I would count that as any sort of a win, given how the primary owners acquired $11 billion, then were fined only $225 million. I guess crime pays out at 98%.

Its unfortunate that the actual technicians get underpaid in comparison to the business people who essentially summarise the work to non-techies.

I get that communication and networking are important skills, but I wish the business-speak people were valued either equal to or lower than the actual techies, given the respective hours and efforts to the product.
My layman's understanding of trademarks is that the salient detail is whether your use of the trademark would likely cause confusion about the source of the material. The question then is if your app showing up for search results (or whatever other side effects might happen from your use of the trademark) about scrabble would be likely to convince people that the app _might be_ officially endorsed.

I believe current US case law is trending toward keyword stuffing not generally being a trademark violation, even when explicitly targeting a trademarked competitor, but people are getting dragged to court over it from time to time, so that might be more than you'd like to take on.

I think these kinds of terms typically only apply to commercial real estate, or large, multi-tenant properties, which is what your reddit comment was addressing. But perhaps things are different in Canada?
There can be a big difference in time between the people who pickup food and bring it right back to their place and the GH employee who has it sitting in their car for 30 min before he gets to your place. This can make the experience worse and hence hurt the restaurants reputation.
This is the second time you've said basically this same thing in this thread. I want to know your reasoning. In your mind, how does living in an oppressive regime allow you to blatantly disobey the law in another, non-oppressive regime.

Based on the Dr. Christakis interview with Sam Harris, we won't be back to truly normal until 2024. Vaccines won't be widely taken until the end of 2022, 2023 will be a sobering up phase where people aren't quite used to social gatherings again. By 2024 election, we'll finally be having big rallies and big concerts again.

We're all aware of the mortality rate, but not everyone finds sacrificing hundreds of thousands of sick and elderly to be viable just because the denominator is sufficiently large.

It's the same reason we don't tell wheelchair users to "just stay home" if they can't deal with a world that only has stairs.

We're trying to be a more advanced civilization with structures to ensure quality of life for as many as possible, not only the young and healthy. We're evolving beyond the raw survival of the fittest that determined who lived and who died when we were essentially animals.

Many of us spend most of our lives healthy enough not to need help, but either we care that others do, or else we selfishly recognize that we could find ourselves needing help someday for unexpected reasons outside our control. So it's in our best interest to invest in these social structures.

It's like a society-wide marshmallow test.

Tomorrow, I'll apply for other similar roles and I'll interview again and again until something sticks.

>Yes they have to ask for permission to present themselves as an agent of the company, which they do when they present their own phone number as the restaurant phone number. So I imagine the lawsuit will have many legs to stand on.

Except they don't. In fact, they register domain names and set fake websites that say they are the restaurant when they're not. They set up phone numbers that route through Grubhub/Seamless and charge their outrageous commissions even for pickup orders.

While there are many places where delivery services are useful, in places where delivery was already ubiquitous (e.g., NYC), the high commission fees and deceptive practices have forced many low and mid-priced restaurants to close because orders through these services take all their profit and a bunch more, making businesses that had been profitable for years or even decades unprofitable and forcing them to close their doors.

Aside from reducing the number and diversity of restaurants, sucking profit out of such transactions that are way beyond any value provided will also end up costing consumers (that's you) more too.

Why should they need to ask for permission?

Businesses operate in the public sphere; they have physical addresses and show up in business listings, so their locations and info aren't private. The use of the logo for commercial purposes could be a concern; I could see an argument perhaps saying that the businesses should have more control over their trademarked property in the sense that there could be confusion of whether they're working with Grubhub (they're certainly not endorsing Grubhub).

But apart from that, use of the business's information (including name) to describe what restaurants Grubhub will pick up from is nominative fair use. If I make a list of "businesses in my home town," McDonald's can't use trademark law to keep their name off my list. Same deal here.
