Minorities aren’t “regularly” persecuted by police. You need to define what “regularly” means and show your evidence if you want to make such a hyperbolic claim. Criminals are regularly persecuted by police, however.
It happens to be that some demographic groups have higher crime rates and therefore have more frequent police interactions. And if they choose to resist the police or refuse their lawful orders, bad things will happen. But keep in mind the police have hundreds of millions of interactions with people each year. The number that end tragically due to an unjust application of policing (like the Philando Castile case) are incredibly rare. And in case you aren’t aware, black Americans want more policing not less, so don’t speak for them as a white person: https://news.gallup.com/poll/316571/black-americans-police-r...
The facility is already mostly complete, I live close to it. The schedule is for actual construction, certification, and qualification to be completed by July - thus for it to be ready for production.

I don't know if you've been there, but the facility is pretty massive. I don't think packaging will run into space concerns.

There's actually a vaccine plant right next to it, which is dwarfed by the NRC facility (of course not all of it is dedicated to vaccine production)

My design team recently made the switch from Sketch to Figma for better collaboration purposes. It's a bummer that there is no real alternative for outages on their end. I wonder if there are any plans within Figma to facilitate some sort of offline availability at some point...
>As a system administrator, I can use RSS to keep up to date

Along the same sentiment, I've taken things further and update my RSS feeds on demand. I use a suite of tools that pull entries[1] using Newsboat[2] and send them over SMTP (with a `sendmail` tool), optionally saving the emails[3] that couldn't be sent to disk.

Combined with a local server[4] relying on NewsAPI[5] that can pull news from sites that don't provide with an RSS feed (AP, RT…), it's a great decentralised and modular setup!

The real question is, when was the car stopped being their property and started being yours (so you could resell it for cash, for example).

If the title transfer took 10 days, your transaction settled in T+10, even though you might think it's instantaneous.
So on the one hand I see you using extreme words like "deeply corrupted", "erasing historical figures", "destroying", "lunatics running the city into the ground".

Then on the other hand I see that your ire's target is something as trivial as a city deciding on a fresh start and changing the names of a bunch of schools after a few decades, or centuries. It's not like they're writing the great presidents out of the US History curriculum.

And this imbalance begs the question: Why on earth are you and the blog-posters you referenced so angry about this? Have you asked yourself if it's healthy to be this angry?

Regarding Lowell, I think it's a shameful that they're proposing to ditch merit-based admissions, but they have pretty good cover given the state law. Citing [from CA law](https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySectio....):

> the governing board of each school district, as a condition for the receipt of school apportionments from the State School Fund, shall adopt rules and regulations establishing a policy of open enrollment within the district for residents of the district...it shall include a selection policy for a school that receives requests for admission in excess of the capacity of the school that ensures that selection of pupils to enroll in the school is made through a random, unbiased process that *prohibits an evaluation of whether a pupil should be enrolled based upon the pupil’s academic or athletic performance.*

The law then goes on to caveat

> However, school districts may employ existing entrance criteria for specialized schools or programs if the criteria are uniformly applied to all applicants. This subdivision shall not be construed to prohibit school districts from using academic performance to determine eligibility for, or placement in, programs for gifted and talented pupils established pursuant to former Chapter 8 (commencing with Section 52200) of Part 28 of Division 4, as that chapter read on January 1, 2014.

SFUSD's claim is that Lowell no longer has _existing criteria_ since they made changes for COVID. At face value it seems reasonable, but I will be lobbying for them to keep merit-based admissions and allow this alleged lawbreaking to be tested in court.
Fair enough. A key difference, of course, is that the commission is well defined compared to the tip, which is left to the whims of the customer.

Getting back to my original question: I often get better service from grocery store workers (depending on the chain, of course), than I do from restaurant workers. Yet no one pays them a tip. Same goes for Costco employees. Often the worker at the REI store will spend an inordinate amount of time helping me. No one pays them a tip, and they don't get a commission. From my perspective, all of these people are actually providing a service to me that I actually want, when I want it. Whereas with waiters, they are typically forced upon me. It's usually the exception that I want some service that requires a waiter.

The point being: There are more ways than tips to build a culture of good service, and it's inane to think tips are needed to maintain quality.
No, the fertilizer is ad-funded media, which gets clicks by fomenting outrage. They literally get paid to sow split and discord.
This sort of diplomatic “loan” with extensive negotiations is typically done with the expectation from both sides that, in practice, it will never be returned. I expect (and hope) that Cubans got something in return.

Getting to the discussion at hand: Are they dying because of a lack of tips? It seems their decline is orthogonal to the issue.

Also, as someone pointed out, they typically get paid commissions, but my there are lots of other places where one does get pretty good service without tips or commissions:

I don't know if it is practical in general, but the Norwegian show Norsemen is filmed twice: once in Norwegian and once in English:

Start sending the exec's who had the final say in these decisions to jail. And then slap the company with a fine proportional to their networth. You'll see companies actually following the law a lot more then. Right now there is almost zero consequences. What they get some bad PR and a slap on the wrist? That'll definitely make them not do it again!

Honestly as a big company why wouldn't you just go cutting corners and breaking a bunch of laws. The gain you get is larger than the loss when you get into legal trouble so why would you follow the laws anyway.
Not at all. That's nonsense. Now, can you please answer the question you keep dodging?

If the USSR had such a wonderful society, why did they have to systematically mass murder ordinary people who wanted to leave this wonderful society?
Great collection of rss feeds.

I build my own rss feed for HN, because i want only see posts which reach >500 Points in a week [1].

So i did for a few other websites:
Reddit r/programming (at least 500 points / week)[2]
Producthunt (at least 300 / week)[3]

What I'm searching, is a rss feed where i get notified when a book author release a new Book. Unfortunately i didn't found one.

However, any path towards a cleaner, more environmentally sound future requires the mass adoption of electric. Fossil Fuels are named as such for a reason. Getting caught up on growth is an inappropriate lens in this context.
The article you quote mostly concludes that it was probably a correct assertion. While the Moses parkways were certainly based on older ones they were found to also have substantially lower bridge clearances than the ones they imitated.

To be honest, what I find more confusing is that nearly a century later we still cling to the parkways being for no commercial traffic. It wouldn’t be all that radical to, whenever a bridge is up for replacement, replace it with a bridge that does meet Interstate clearance standards, and it would provide a less chokepointy system for trucks and take them off local roads, where they have a worse impact. The days of the bucolic parkway have long passed and they are all heavy commuter routes now.
It’s interesting how people don’t realize Google is basically saving these advertisers from bankruptcy, and yet they’re still complaining.

You realize Google could just have done what Apple is doing and completely get rid of all third party cookies with no replacement right? The privacy sandbox API is a lifeline to third party advertisers that otherwise would be completely screwed.

You can also argue that Republican leaders tacitly supported the BLM protests.

You didn't see republican leaders putting on riot gear to go beat people up, thus they must have been supportive
Cool that people still keep such stuff!
I was part of the demoscene way back in the late 80s-early 90s, and I just clicked randomly on some of these fonts and one of them looked familiar. However I couldn’t tell if it was one that my friend (in our demo group that I’ve long since lost touch with) had made or if I saw it in someone else’s demo... this was not a time where we concerned ourselves with archiving our work for future generations to watch. And it would be impossible to find out since my parents kept asking me whether or not to keep my old Amiga that was sitting unused for years ... and I ignored their questions and eventually they threw it away... I’m just glad Bitcoin hadn’t been invented yet — haha.
I understand (and generally agree to) the arguments that people should be paid a living wage, and tipping after the transaction doesn't have any effect on an individual level.
But I wonder what's the effect on service quality on general? Are there any studies on this?

Asking because here in Germany, service is often terrible, at least in casual restaurants. Like it's not uncommon to spend more time waiting than eating. You come in, you wait 10 minutes before they find out (you're usually not seated), get your menus, wait another 10 minutes until they come back. You get your food, and sometimes you can be glad if you ever see them again. If you want to pay and don't have another 15 minutes, go to the counter. I often prefer going to self-service restaurants because it is less of a hassle. Going to a restaurant in a 60 minute lunch break is a challenge.

Also, tipping is uncommon. I just wonder whether there is any correlation.
I struggle with balancing the urge to putter like the author puts it, with doing "expansionistic" things like marketing or building features that are valuable to new customers rather than existing ones. The "correct" business analysis will say the business gets much more out of new acquisition channels than micro-optimizing the product further, that I shouldn't fall into the "build it and they will come" mentality. But my first instinct will always be to want to just create the best possible product for my existing customers - it's what brings me joy, and it's really hard for me to designate any suboptimal state of the product as "good enough for now" and focus on acquisition instead. For now I try to balance it by alternating doing one or the other in each sprint - that way I never neglect puttering completely, but I also force myself not to do it exclusively like I'd probably do if I just based the decision on personal motivation.

I’m not sure if you’re speaking towards me here but if you are believe me I’ve wished for years there was a backbone in the other party that didn’t fall in lockstep. Even so, that party doesn’t follow him any more. And even when it did it only represented ~1/3 of US society.
I think this is spot on, when you post something to a communications platform you are publishing content. How can there be any expectation you can then un-publish it? Consider this in the context of bullying or shaming, should someone who sends me an abusive message have the ability to delete all trace of it afterwards?

There are a lot of reasons for which an engine would fail to start in such a scenario. They all boil down to the turbulent airflow and high pressure in the nozzle inhibiting the ignition process.

How exactly you decide to fix it depends on many things. It's impossible to tell. But they are all downstream of the same failure, which is overcoming the high pressure and turbulent flow.
The Republican party ran in 2020 on doing whatever trump wants, and still got a whole ton of a lot of votes on that platform.

I'd say if you have existing customers, you're already past most companies with a "built it and they will come" mentality. Most of those fail to ever acquire real users.
“Sliding” backpack lightens its wearer's load, generates electricity
But the real situation is even stronger to my point, because most software in use today won't be in 30 years. So the real graph for established products is that you continue to get new users for five or ten years as young people learn and old people die, but never enough to even hit the halfway mark. Then your company folds or gets out-competed by something else, your user base falls off a cliff and the software becomes irrelevant.

The point at which "new users" are the majority of the user base never even happens.

I want to remind you that the military are supposed to take orders from their commander in chief - who, on January 6th, was Donald Trump.

Neither January 6th, nor in Athens would a mob rush the chambers of government to install God-King Billy Rando, who nobody has heard of. Coups only work when the person benefiting from them already has a large amount of civilian and political, and sometimes, but not always, military support behind him - but not large enough to win power through legitimate means.

Suppose that the mob compelled congress to affirm Trump as the winner. Do you really think the 'police' (Which police force? Would they have jurisdiction? Who'd be giving them this order? Nancy Pelosi does not give police forces orders...) would have headed to Pennsylvania avenue to arrest Trump? What if the part of the military that is supposed to put down civilian coups (Which part is that, by the way?) decided to sit this one out?

At best, events would escalate into an actual, successful coup.

People love bringing up E. coli whenever this sort of thing comes up, but it's not a compelling argument. It generally refers to the observation that if you have a bacterium swimming towards something that's bad (ie, an increasing concentration of a toxic molecule), it'll tend to start swimming away. The obvious implication is that the bacterium has to remember that it's trying to swim away from something in order to keep doing so.

In reality, we've had an alternative explanation for about 20 years. The chemical receptors that respond to the molecules E. coli wants to get away from activate and generate a cascade that causes the flagella (the stranded "tail" molecules that allow them to swim) to start rotating in the opposite direction. This causes them to become tangled, and this results in the bacterium moving around randomly rather than making any progress in one direction. If it heads away from the noxious source, the receptors stop activating, the flagella start rotating in the correct direction, and it heads off in a straight line again.

But what about the memory? If the bacterium didn't remember what happened, isn't there a high chance that it would just end up doing the same thing again? Yes, but we don't need to bring RNA into this. One of the molecules involved in the cascade is activated by phosphorylation - once phosphorylated, its sensitivity changes. Over time, another molecule dephosphorylates it, but this altered sensitivity means the bacterium is more sensitive to the noxious molecule than it was previously and biases the bacterium to move away.

So "memory" in this case is actually just a modification of the gain in the response to a stimulus. Does it demonstrate that responses can be influenced by something that happened in the past without requiring a nervous system? Yup, absolutely. Is it something that gives us a better understanding of how rich long term memories are stored in the brain? Not really.

(Source: my first attempt at a PhD was working with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Bray who did a bunch of the computational modelling that demonstrated we didn't need anything overly complicated to understand what was going on here. Absolutely wonderful scientist, but I fell out with departmental IT staff over network security stuff. Ironic with hindsight. Also, this is my recollection from almost 20 years ago, so details may be inaccurate)
Hits home! One of these days I'll join you and have my own garden.
When I drove for Uber for a brief period I almost never got cash tips. Before they introduced the tipping option in the app I maybe got tips in cash 5-10% of the time. When Uber added tipping I did find I got tipped a bit more than I did in the past and cash dipped to almost never. Now to be fair I am in Canada and we are a lot more digital when it comes to payment. I know America still has a decent amount of cash usage, but I know many people here don't carry cash on them, especially younger people.

I found that one of the few times I'd get a "tip" in cash was when someone asked if I was okay waiting for them to run into a convenience store on their way home, or for me to go to another destination that wasn't put into Uber after the first drop-off. And that worked for me, I'd much rather take cash and cut out Uber of taking a huge chunk of that extra.
This is a valid thought experiment to consider.

I'm old enough that racking my own boxes and hosting everything myself is both natural and easy (and cheaper and faster).

But working with plenty of young developers, most don't have any exposure or interest in setting up anything other than AWS services tied together.

So like it or not (I don't) we're rushing towards a world where AWS (maaybe GCP, mostly not) is the only way to build something.

It's good to consider the implications of this.

Though there's little you can do to escape Google if you are using Android, what gives me some sort of peace is blocking internet access to apps like gboard. (AFAIK it's the only keyboard with support to inline autofill; this is literally the only reason keeping me from torching the app)

Make time to reiterate. Despite proper planning, I always find better ways to do things once the code is written. In my opinion, refactoring code is the best way to improve your coding skills.

Writing a lot of tests also forces you to think about better ways to write code. It encourages you to write simple, modular, and often stateless code.

Linting and code reviews are important too. I learned a lot from my coworkers, but also from AirBnB's coding standards.
I agree with you and I will add my own tint to it: I do this to push myself to grow and move forward and then lie back and do what's comfortable and familiar. Rinse and repeat.
You can't just ask Airbnb to delete your account. The procedure to delete the account yourself that's explained all over the internet does not work, at least in europe. I requested the removal of my deactivated account four times over the course of 8 months via their email support.

It was always the same script: first they purposefully confuse it with account deactivation and they confirm your removal, but formulated in a way in which it could also mean deactivated, then, after you answer to the ticket that what you meant is actual deletion, not deactivation, they tell you that they forwarded your request to someone who will delete your account and that they will write you once it's done. No change in approach changed their script in any way.

> Ich habe deine Anfrage an jemanden aus meinem Team weitergeleitet, der dich dabei besser unterstützen kann. Der entsprechende Mitarbeiter wird sich in Kürze bei dir melden. Falls du in der Zwischenzeit weitere Fragen oder Bedenken hast, kannst du gerne auf diese E-Mail antworten

... then I waited six weeks and back to square one, since I could always still login to get the deactivated message. The offer to answer on the same ticket again is apparently untrue. ..at least they never answered again on the same ticket.

What helped was not contacting support but instead pasting a comically formal erasure request (Article 17 of the GDPR) from the internet to dpo@airbn..

As far as I am able to validate, this did it.
