Because more people than you think do not understand this and how delivery platforms work (ie. that restaurants do not control them)

If you're a restaurant and some of your dishes do not handle delivery well then you should not sell them as delivery/takeaway but only on premises. Otherwise you'll have to accept that some customers will be unhappy and leave a bad review.

I think this is a learning curve for many restaurants that are not used to this business model. Certainly in Europe it was not usual for restaurants to offer delivery/takeaway, which was only done by some pizzerias for a long time. Now these platforms are booming and the pandemic has made them critical.
I'm for cool research, but I am also tired of the trend where security companies come up with a flashy name, logo, url, etc. for every exploit/vuln.
You can have 20 years of experience or 20 one year experiences.
Looks like this is from Lorena Gonzalez, the author of the notorious AB5. Like that law, it seems rather too broad. By my reading it would ban a hypothetical app that worked on behalf of customers to deliver orders, even if the app explicitly mentions it is not affiliated with the restaurant or business. This doesn’t seem like a good thing for Californians.
I'm wondering if this is also be applicable in the case of a closed combustion wood burning fireplace? (internally, at least). My understanding is that they create quite a tight seal when all closed up.
> The strategy that can work is for the EU to partner with TSMC to build a foundry in the EU that produces at the node they want to intercept (2 nm?).

that's hardly in Taiwan's geopolitical interest. perhaps if the EU made some serious political concessions to Taiwan.
So, you’re saying that it’s impractical to switch build systems, and that it’s inappropriate to suggest alternative build systems?

I think that if you’re reading a suggestion to “just use X” on Hacker News, the sensible thing to do is to evaluate the suggestion for your own. You don’t need to put a long list of caveats in front of every software recommendation. If your problem is, “My builds are slow, I want distributed builds,” then you should probably at least consider the two most popular solutions to that problem, which are Bazel and Distcc. Both with their drawbacks.
Low Tech Magazine, one of my favorite sites online, has written a few articles on wood and biomass:

Yeah, the incremental builds are pretty good. I even turned on LiveReload and it's ok-ish. It's not super snappy but it mostly works.

If I move to something else I want the ability to include proper components on the page, whether React or Svelte or something. I'd love to find the sweet spot where I can embed interactive examples without having to "program my blog" like Gatsby. Elder.js looks interesting, but probably more complex than what I need.

And anyway, every time I start considering this path, I being to wonder whether rewriting my blog is really the best use of my time...
Just for what it’s worth, I’ve never had any lag, hanging, stuttering, etc. with Sublime Text 3. It’s very fast.

It will create a moat between "worthy" and "unworthy" scientific journals - those which the Indian government is willing to support financially and those which it is not. There may also be some risk that Indian government will give preferential treatment to journals that publish more from their own institutions.
Disclosing suppliers implies existential possibility of a supplier that can be trusted. A user with heightened security needs understands that the only way to guarantee supplier trustworthiness is to personally be present at the factory.

Disclosing schematics (open-source hardware) and board x-rays removes the supplier trust requirement. A user with heightened security needs can diff received hardware with the reference (don’t trust; verify), or build their own phone to the spec.

> A food delivery platform shall not arrange for the delivery of an order from a food facility without first obtaining an agreement with the food facility expressly authorizing the food delivery platform to take orders and deliver meals prepared by the food facility.

That's more than just preventing apps from listing a restaurant. I don't think delivery services should be able to represent restaurants without an agreement like many of them currently do, but I think this goes way too far.

This basically outlaws competition in the food delivery market.

EDIT: A food delivery service essentially buys food from a restaurant, then resells it to the customer. Is there any precedent for outlawing sale of a legal product to a business?
Well maybe because in government grants waste and fraud are the rule, while in private startups they are the exception.

And it is the investors problem when a startup fails, and they are aware of it. But with governments, it is OUR money squandered away by politicians and their friends.
Some foods definitely work better than others. As others have noted, pizza usually does. And Asian stir fry type dishes are mostly pretty decent. Basic fried chicken (or rotisserie chicken) are fine too actually. They're not totally top drawer fried chicken like you get at a good restaurant that specializes in it but it's pretty good heated up in the oven. Soups. Etc.

And then there are a lot of foods that just aren't going to be good. Basically, if it's something that either cold or that you would normally consider reheating in the oven or microwave it's probably OK. Otherwise, not.

And, as others have noted, take-out you have more control over. There are some sandwiches I'll order from a local place and pickup given that I know I'll be home in less than 10 minutes. I'd be less tempted if I knew it might be sitting in a delivery car for an hour.
Yeah but Oracle generally only screws over companies who either can afford it easily or have used expensive external "consultants" to help make the decision, both have a low sympathy vote from me.
> How much of the USD 24,040 figure of New York goes to New York Police Department?

Not much, if any. It's a rounding error and only brought up as a political point really. In terms of budgets it's immaterial - ignoring entirely of course the social aspects of the situation.

The football stuff is also highly annoying and problematic, but those do tend (in my limited experience at least) to be built in high performing districts simply due to the tax demographics needed to build such things. Again, in the context of this discussion it's pretty much immaterial.

The massive waste is almost all administrative burden and in my (again, limited) experience almost outright fraud. Just the small amount of interaction I've had with major public school districts show the incompetence of the administrative layers is endemic - massive amounts of wasteful and outright fraudulent spending is done each year that in no way makes it to the students.

Look into how many >$120k/yr admins the NYC public school district has.

Then in the US we also have a major problem of turning schools into defacto social welfare centers. Schools are now expected to provide free meals, social services, etc. where in other countries those are handled by other sectors of public service for the most part. All public schools are also expected to have trained and licensed special ed teachers (for a rapidly growing special ed student population), and in the US inner cities in particular teachers largely act more as behavioral mediators than teachers in many classrooms. Then we get into the insane amount of lawsuits and liability said special ed and social services gets schools into and the incompetent administrators terrified of anyone with a lawyer.

All adds up to just waste billions of dollars on things that are not directly related to teaching students.

The problems are multifaceted and deep, but the easy headline outrages like you pulled out usually are pretty inconsequential - and in my jaded mind are argued about to keep folks too preoccupied to dig into the real issues.
This is a bit like what Google does, but not multicast. Inactive RPC channels are downgraded from TCP to UDP and the health/load packets are sent less often. A client can maintain a smaller active subset of channels but still have complete load data for all its peers.
> In the US neither the original CARES act ($1.4 TN) passed in March, nor the new stimulus bill ($0.9 TN) has any funds dedicated to cutting edge industries.

That's because the US largely doesn't have to do that. The reason the US has a couple hundred major technology companies and Europe doesn't is due to its far superior venture capital market, which Europe almost entirely lacks by relative scale and so it has to try to make up for it with government money (which has been a repeated approach in Europe going back decades now, it hasn't worked well).
I don't think most jobs actually depend on formal testing: there are a lot of people doing science and engineering work that aren't duly-accredited "Professional Engineers" and, of course, there are many other fields that also don't have accreditation.

> I'm not a fan of whiteboard coding challenges, even though they got me my first "real" Bay Area tech job.

This is the fundamental part that is broken in my experience.

They are often challenges/coding puzzles, when rather white board exercises should focus on collaboration, and solving problems with code.

Having a "gotcha" that shows rudimentary CS understanding is fine (such as understanding why the obvious O(N^2) is a bad solution). But having a gotcha that requires some crazy leap of faith guess (or having seen the problem before) is not.

I admit, my fondness for a candidate increases with the level of complexity of coding problem they can solve; however needing hints on the harder problems doesn't mean they are not qualified.

I tend to favor ebooks for things that I know have a shorter shelf life. Especially technology stuff. There are books I may read again in 10 or 20 years, but technology books are outdated within a couple of years at most. It seems wasteful to get them on paper.

Job board industry veteran here. You are right it's hard to scale up a job board because of the two sided market. Once you get to a certain size, you are suddenly competing with Indeed, Facebook, Google and LinkedIn (and all the other job boards). Getting started is pretty easy right now because the employer side is very much into pay-per-click or pay-per-apply syndication and there is high demand for jobs on the job seeker side of the market. The key is to have a source of traffic that you can convert into click and applications. You'll see all kinds of niche job boards spring up right now fueled by traffic from communities like this, product hunt and even appropriated email lists that people take when they are laid off (yes, that's probably unethical, but lots of job boards get their start when a developer or recruiter starts one up in anger).

So should companies who provide software and devices worth MILLIONS to factories also port those from DOS 4.something to newer operating systems?

Because they don't. A friend had to source BIOS chips for fried ones for an out of warranty CNC machine from around the world just to not have it fail completely.
Such clickbait

Simple math states that not everyone can be a leader. 1 leader needs more than 1 “followers”, hence only a tiny subset of people become leaders.

People can come up with all sorts of way that might increase their or their kids’ chances of becoming a leader, but in reality only a small subset ever will.

And most of the time, those that do become leaders do so because of their parents’ socioeconomic status
No it hasn't, and the type of deal it is going to get looks likely to be different under Biden than under Trump. I think your point is relevant regarding ARM-Nvidia, as semiconductor technology has tended to be the subject of trade barriers, and is seen as a strategic national asset.
You see a bunch of blatantly wrong things about countries as well that would be obvious for anyone who lived there. As a uncontroversial example, Winnie the Pooh clearly isn't banned in China, given how much merchandise is manufactured there. The "ghost cities" that were reported in about in China a few years are largely populated. They were empty at the time because they were new.

One of the companies I interviewed at had me do this exercise at the end of the interview and to be frank, I bombed it quite badly. One issue was the syntax was so weird compared to the type of code I'm used to writing and reading from others in library code that it was hard for me to comprehend the logic without the benefit of looking it up.

I was filled with anxiety working under the time pressure to understand a document of code which I had very little context of, and no previous relationship with the reviewer so I kept thinking to myself whether or not the question that came into my mind was stupid obvious.

In contrast, when I had take-home tests, I scored exceptionally high on all of them, leading to offers. I recognize that a lot of people here hate them because of the time involved and it's akin to spec work, but IMO it felt much more like my usual day-to-day life as a developer.

One of the take home tests had existing code to work from but again, working at my own pace and having access to online resources to read docs was much less anxiety provoking.
You are probably right although its parent company does own several other companies as well.
There is a very significant distinction - a private key does not (or should not) leave the user's computer. A private key is very long password that is magically¹ never revealed to anyone during normal use, only it's accessibility is proven.

If the user does not verify the remote host's fingerprint (vast majority doesn't), they could be sending the password to an attacker / honeypot or just wrong server / password. And if they reuse passwords, server can record passwords and someone could try them elsewhere.

If you're using passwords, it is very likely the password was copy-pasted to an inappropriate host (or passwords common for many hosts). It is also very likely the first connection to a server from a given computer was without verifying the remote host (server fingerprint), users are likely try and accept all kinds of things if they connection doesn't work, and I've even seen people disable host key verification so they wouldn't be bothered when a server is reinstalled / ip is reused.

Local accessibility of private keys is a significant issue, but if a program can read .ssh/..., it can usually also alias ssh=store-pasword-and-ssh, so using password doesn't help that much, vs. it's other issues.

If you're using passwords for yourself, it may be manageable, but I never give other people ssh login access using passwords.

Does delivery tend to be different from takeout in your experience? It does in mine. The gap between finishing prep and me eating it is much longer for delivery, except that the apps almost all lie about it. While your order is sitting there waiting for a driver for 10 minutes, they tell you, no way! It’s not our inability to get a driver there quickly! It’s the restaurant who is still wrapping up right now! If they even tell you that. Then they drop off a few other orders on the way. You end up with food you think came off the stove 13 minutes ago that actually came off like 40 minutes ago. And then you think it came out of the oven worse because the app puts all the blame and uncertainty on the restaurant.
I would love a source on this. But even if true, that still paints Trump as the bigger golfer since Obama had 2x as many years to play essentially the same amount of golf.

It’s a long, rambling post with some fairly vague and difficult to falsify accusations. I have no connections to Apple (other than as a consumer), but I could not wade through the article enough to determine if I thought there was an actual smoking gun.

> I know I want to spend as little time as possible thinking about sales and marketing, and just focus on improving my product and making my customers happy.

That's fine and understandable, but you also have to weigh the risks of delegating those responsibilities to external parties that don't necessarily care about your success because they have thousands if not millions of customers. Not to mention the restaurants that don't want any part of the delivery platforms altogether because they don't like what they're seeing.

In an opt-out model, the restaurant has to take time to deal with (and possibly remove themselves) from a platform that didn't ask for their business, potentially dealing with upset customers along the way. Wasn't the whole point of this idea to reduce time and energy spent on these kinds of activities to focus on the food and the community? If you had no idea that you were on one of these platforms and an angry customer reaches out to you, how does that benefit the restaurant?

It's really strange to see a collectivist for-the-greater-good argument being applied in a business sense here because it's based on two incorrect underlying assumptions: that every business owner wants the same thing (automated marketing and logistics services handled by one provider), and that platforms will always act in the best interests of their users. As a hypothetical business owner, shouldn't I have the right to prevent delivery platforms from using my restaurant without my permission? Say I get a bad experience with a delivery platform once, and I remove myself. Now I have a keep a lookout for any other platform that wants to use my name, all because those platforms made the argument that they know what's best for the restaurants and then didn't measure up. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
