> Even if Amazon orders one of every product, it's easy to beat that system.

I wasn't talking about proactively ordering one of everything, but ordering something in response to a specific complaint about a specific practice. So, while we're making up numbers, they might actually end up ordering 10 copies of 0.01% of their items. Make the penalties for getting caught onerous enough, and they might deter the practice completely.

Sure, some vendor might then only put a solicitation in 1 in 20 items, but they'll still have a significant chance of getting caught, and it's not like Amazon should be so transparent about the process so a vendor can game it.

But to my original point: it's totally practical for Amazon to take visible action in response to a single complaint, without opening the door up to griefing.

The reason for this is that they don't need to rely 100% on crowdsourced feedback for compliance enforcement (and to think they would shows a really blinkered webtech-centric viewpoint). The complaint -> investigation -> substantiation -> enforcement process is tried and true technology that's even older than UNIX.

I typically do, although some dinners or lunches will have a component that is reheated (e.g., reheat some frozen braise from last weekend, but with fresh cooked veg and potatoes, say.)

If I'm in a hurry, there are lots of things I can make in 30 min or less. More often if I'm busy I'll make something that doesn't require much interaction; e.g. 10-15 min prep and 60 nearly untouched in a 500 degree oven for a roast chicken with root veg in one pan. I do other things in that hour.

Honestly, I've been doing this long enough I'm pretty efficient. I could save a little time buying more prepared food, but my meal quality would go way down so I don't mind. Shopping is pretty efficient too, as I mostly don't shop by recipe.

To be fair though, I find cooking relaxing as a way to wind down after work, so sometimes I'll do something more involved just for the hell of it on a random Wednesday.
First of all, it’s not just women appearing in pornography.

Some people believe that pornography is inherently harmful; that viewing it degrades the viewer and psychologically harms them. Making pornography “acceptable” would be accepting this harm, inflicted on countless millions of people, in order to protect the relatively tiny amount of people who perform in it.
This is also why capital letters are bad.

It's easy to write code which fails to check for a capital letter, which leads to errors when subsequent code requires a lower-case letter.

Capital letters are a billion dollar boondoggle.

It behooves languages to have a lower-case (or non-capital) character type which cannot be constructed with or assigned a capital letter.
You cannot stop that. You can get around it for a while by serving the script yourself and setting a CNAME record for your domain to point to us. That's why we recommend integrating Pirsch into your backend so that it can't be blocked: https://docs.pirsch.io/get-started/backend-integration/

Sadly it can't really, because Rust doesn't have control-flow based type refinement like TypeScript.. In TS the type of `file` after the throw is File. In Rust it stays `Option<file>` so you would have to unsafely unwrap it below the if block.

Yeah, I don't know how I'd spend $1500 in food for two people. I can't imagine I spend half that (looking at my latest card statement) on average, and that includes some random take out and we aren't really shopping based on value other than stocking up on things we use that are on sale.

That said, when I was in my 20's and single I probably spent more than that per month because practically every meal was fast food, take out, or otherwise prepared in some manner. I suspect they could save a good $1,000/mo if they started cooking exclusively at home and paid attention to a budget while shopping.

McDonalds is surprisingly expensive if you eat it every day.

I still keep the Amex Platinum

The main issue with the Platinum is that it doesn't accrue points as fast as it doesn't have spending categories and it doesn't have as many transfer partners. There are ways to get a bunch of points though, its just different.

The varying perks are worthwhile and rotate a lot. Love the statement credits, $200 Uber credits and other things.

I think its worth it

Amex also only does soft-pulls, which to me is more valuable than any hard pull

I'd not heard of airflow before. Some of the other comments mention using it for ETL jobs. The webpage makes it sound like a generic job scheduler.

Jenkins is also a generic job scheduler, but it is primarily used for CI/CD. It seems like there's some overlap here though; I'm interested to hear other peoples thoughts on "I have a bunch of jobs that need to be run; they aren't necessarily ETL or CI/CD; what tool is good for this, and how would I differentiate between them."

It seems that mostly people use whatever they have setup, so if someone already does CI/CD through jenkins, they will add other unrelated jobs to jenkins just to avoid setting something else up. Any thoughts on if things are being left on the table here, as even generic tools can make you feel like you are "swimming up stream" if you are doing things that the rest of the community is not with them.

or the range of customers has simply broadened and includes way more casual shoppers now who like to buy from third party vendors rather than wanting a sort of premium experiences, after all AliExpress is pretty damn popular.

>I know HN will see this as Apple further locking down the platform, but it's also plausible that they just want to reduce the number of ways the OS can be installed and upgraded.

How is reducing the number of ways one can acquire or install something not further locking down a platform?

That's pretty much what 'locking down' a platform comes down to, reducing the number of ways you can install various kinds of software on said platform. An OS is still another piece of software.

But she was posting amateur porn on Reddit way before she became a porn star. This is going back to 2013-ish, she posted on r/cuckold and r/hotwife very detailed descriptions and photos of her first sexual encounter in her new open relationship with her husband at the time (or maybe it was fiancé?).

Like literally in real time.. she posted text "Waiting for him to arrive" along with pictures of herself ... all the way to the finish as it were.

This was the first encounter of many that she willingly posted. Along with verification photos.

A lot of this feels like having your cake and eating it too. You created this persona and you promoted it and shared with the world when it suited you and enjoyed the wealth and fame.

One benefit I've taken more advantage of, that I've found a lot of people aren't familiar with is the concierge service. You can call or email them (which is now my preference).

In addition to some obvious things like finding a hotel or calling a car rental agency on my behalf (being able to send a quick email is significantly more convenient than waiting on hold for an hour) they've...

1. Helped me find an air conditioner along my driving route in CA when they were mostly all sold out. This took place over 48 hours. They would give me updates every 6 hours either via email, phone, or both.

2. Called several bike repair shops with information that was important to me — turnaround time, walking distance, price, etc...

3. Researched comparative information on model years of a car I was thinking about buying. E.g. 2017 adds these features, 2018 has these changes from 2017, etc...

4. I've called them to see if there are any road closures or issues with my route while driving.

As mentioned below, the card is really $250 a year or roughly $20/month and is it worth it for this benefit alone. I've used Magic ($35/hr...) and Fancy Hands and I've actually found the service to be superior. And I don't have to worry about the amount of time they spend.

From what I can tell they have what seems to be employed professionals who answer the phone (and maybe the initial emails) who are very personable and knowledgeable and then farm out a lot of the actual grunt work to different researchers. While the quality I've gotten from Fancy Hands / Magic has been much lower in terms of actually understanding what I'm asking for. Seems to be more college students / gig workers.

That's separate from the very good car rental insurance... DashPass (no delivery fees, reduced fees), 10X Lyft points. And things like extended purchase and warranty protection which I haven't used yet.
And we call such people "puritans" and don't let them dictate our moral norms.

Show HN: I made a solar-powered, ePaper photo frame
Looks like this year ePaper projects have been popping around[1], so this is mine.

I made a photo frame with the intention of having a record of my family's history that can potentially outlive me. Knowing the challenges of long-lived digital projects, I consider this a moving target that will go through several iterations, but the first version showed encouraging results.

I wonder if anyone else is interested in having something like that in their living rooms.

So you’re claiming that the physics community is driven by blind tribalism and is in fact, not scientific? That’s a big case condensed into a two sentence defense of psuedoscience.
You're not really addressing their point. Some people believe that drugs are "inherently harmful", but an outright ban or "war on drugs" made the problem worse. It pushed drugs to the unregulated black market.

The same would happen if you were to ban porn. Demand would still be there, people would just be forced to go onto the unregulated black market to satisfy their demands. Meaning it would make the situation much worse.

If porn were to remain legal than the government can resolve these issues by proposing regulation to mitigate the abuses.
Actually I think most people would not jump at the opportunity to do science if they knew that their source of funding was a 55 year-old man who had been accused of raping girls as young as 12 years of age, and that the reason why the accused was funding their research was because he was trying to buy special treatment from the criminal justice system.

As many of us already know, three triplets from France were allegedly "overnighted" to Mr. Epstein as a "birthday present" on his island in the Caribbean, where they were forced to perform oral sex on Mr. Epstein before being sent back home the next day, with the excuse being that the three girls were from a poor area of France whose parents desperately needed the money.

There are some out there, including Epstein himself in one of his last interviews with the press, who claim that pedophiles are the next "oppressed sexual minority" that needs to be liberated, comparing their plight to that of homosexuals in decades past.

The liberation that they seek, supported by ex-MIT luminaries like Richard Stallman, is nothing short of a redefinition of the legal notion of "consent."

As Epstein's longtime friend and Harvard law professor Allen Dershowitz argues to justify the "sweetheart deal" that he obtained for Mr. Epstein from US attorney Alex Acosta, if a 14 year-old is old enough to consent to an abortion after being raped, she must have also been old enough to consent to the statutory rape.

And so if you're from that camp, maybe taking money from Epstein is no big deal. It certainly wasn't for folks like Seth Lloyd, Joi Ito, Marvin Minsky, Steven Pinker, Stephen Kosslyn, Benedict Gross, Martin Nowak, Larry Summers, Larry Summers' wife, and countless others. Some even sent the convicted child rapist personally signed thank-you notes like MIT president Rafael Reif.

I know that I would not have taken his money, as well as most of my colleagues who took very unpleasant jobs in industry because they could not obtain funding the "old-fashioned way," which is by earning it through applying for primarily government-funded research grants that are subject to a peer-review process.

This is not to say that all of the research that government is funding is worth taxpayer money, or that there is enough money to fund the work that really needs to get done, for example in the medical domain.

My suggestion to Mr. Reif though is very simple: instead of taking money from convicted child rapists, why not try spending the billions that your university already receives from taxpayers more responsibly, especially at places like MIT Lincoln Laboratory, which he should know a thing or two about since he became president of MIT for his role in the cover-up of missile defense research fraud at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, which some observers believe led Susan Hockfield to unexpectedly resign from her position as president of MIT when the university was forced to enter into a settlement agreement with MIT Prof. Postol under the threat of facing potential criminal obstruction of justice charges, the terms of which are still sealed to this day.
I'm hosting a Hacker News book swap
Hey, everyone. If you have books that you aren't planning to read again, consider trading it for a book you will read in a book swap.

Just let me know which books you have, and which books you want. I will match you with someone to send your book to, and it is on you to mail your book. I will do my best to make sure everyone gets a book they want, but if nobody has the book you want, I will notify you and keep you out of the pool (unless you're willing to receive a random one!).

Sign up if you're interested: https://forms.gle/nGo5Q4B15W1oL54dA

Some things to keep in mind: Another user will have your address, so if that's not something you're comfortable with, please don't give it away! Finally, because of the free nature of this, I can't guarantee that everyone will do their part and mail their book.

Tailing some portion of missile subs won't do - a single missile sub is an existential threat so deterrence isn't destabilized until the adversary can credibly eliminate all of them within ~10 minutes.

It takes a nuclear sub to trail a nuclear sub. NK and China have exclusively, and primarily (respectively) diesel subs. These have to surface and run their engines to charge batteries. They cannot make 20+ knots submerged for long, and they cannot track deeply submerged submarines from the surface. Surfacing and running diesels would make their presence known. They cannot range far from port, and certainly cannot track missile boats under the arctic ice.

Russia has a sufficiently large nuclear fleet, but it is outdated and probably outclassed by US technology. There is probably greater disparity between the powers than existed during the cold war, at which time deterrence was credible.
Consent is consent. Don't tell people what they can and can't enjoy.

I know it's counterintuitive, but being on the receiving end of consensual "abuse"/disrespect etc in a sexual context is something loads of people are actually into. It's not just in porn.
