Speaking of Sweden's road safety rate...
It doesn't make sense yet (if ever).

I buy they're prototyping it, but launching? That's a long shot. The tech is nowhere near ready for them yet.

They're extremely fragile, the screens have weird artifacts near the fold, water resistance is awful, scratch resistance is awful, usability sucks.

Physics really doesn't want you to build a foldable smartphone, and in any case it's mostly a gimmick. The UX is not better, it's arguably worse.

Should've read this earlier. Hopefully they keep their sales pitch to a minimum in my country...
Under the current framework, you cannot get wealthy off of salary. If you working a wage, then you are a corporate slave most of the time.
This is an interesting thought experiment. Maybe the objection is that Amazon is erroneously considered a neutral marketplace, and not a "store". But practically is there a difference between these arrangements, other than the incidence of who technically is the retailer and who is the wholesaler?

I think the real issue is how people shop online versus in stores. Online, they see a linear feed of individual products and buy whatever is near the top. In a store, they see a variety of displays, and it's almost hard not to comparison shop even a little bit.

It's much, much easier to be "anti-competitive" on a web store than a physical store. Imagine if Costco did what Amazon does, deliberately making Kirkland products easier to find in the store and look more reputable/trusted compared to other brands.

So I don't think the problem is that this particular move by Amazon is any more anti-competitive than anything a normal store with store brand would do. The problem is that Amazon already engages in other anti-competitive activity, so pretty much anything they do related to their own store brand is distasteful.
Ya...bog standard VGA can do 80x50; VESA SVGA can do 132x50 (or more, I think). I seemed to remember 8514/XGA had something like a 132x50 mode with decently readable fonts (8x16?), but I can't find a reference. 132x50 + tmux/screen is pretty usable.

You could also plug in a Hercules mono card and get a 2-monitor setup, if you had software that could grok it. The color and mono video memory lived in different, non-overlapping memory regions. Couple of shops (Xerox. Amdek? Moniterm?) had 1280x800 monochrome setups that could be a second monitor like this. Those were pretty sweet.
> A currency needs to be inflationary or people hoard it instead of spending it, see bitcoin for an excellent example.

I don't think people are going to starve to death because they know their coins will buy more food next week. But if it stops people spending on unnecessary things, is that such a bad thing?
No in that case Costco would likely get into legal problems.

Actually there had been legal cases with unfair market practices in grocery stores between different competing products sold there. I think there is currently a ongoing case with Oreo.
Possibly, but what they care about really is "What experience will users have when they visit a site". The GA script loading time is totally part of that, so why discount it from the measurements?
You just made my point exactly with your last sentence:

"Since around 2013, though, the USPS HAS mandated new communities get a single mail hub, but it still satisfies their rule of delivering for every address."

This in no way satisfies delivering to every address. It is a clear break from this commitment.
Thank you for sharing your story, that pathway sounds scary to say the least. I am absolutely impressed how well you seem to take it.

I which you the best of luck and a long life after your encounter with that incredibly scary yet fascinating robot!
It’s convenient to share in a Slack (and similar) channel. At least I do it all the time. Also, convenient to attach in an RCA doc that’s shared with higher ups who don’t have time to play around with metrics dashboard.
That's not as true as one would hope. There's not a lot of "cultural fluency" involved in matching squares, unless you're from the jungle and have grown up never seeing any squares. (The theory that people who grew up not looking at corners would be less able to perceive square shapes has received some attention, but we have to admit that doesn't have much relevance to people living in modern countries like America or India .)

Now, cultural fluency questions have appeared on IQ tests, especially in the past. However that's not so much an attack on the idea of "g" as it is a problem with antiquated methods of measuring it.

That's not to say that IQ tests are that accurate. The biggest confounder I know of is ADHD, which causes the tests to come out five whole points lower on average. I'm sure there are others.
> Belgium

Belgium doesn't have coal plants.

Belgium's nuclear plants are/were scheduled to close because they've surpassed their initial lifespan. An extension was added but that has almost been surpassed as well. These are plants which have been in operation for 40-50 years.

Replacements aren't being build because they are "unsafe". They aren't being build because it's economically not viable to do so in a country like Belgium. Not at this moment in time, not in the past 20 to 30 years.

Belgium's major energy operators are also largely controlled by French energy conglomerates such as ENGIE.
Monopoly isn't the best term either, there's definitely other companies that are vertically integrated and are single-sources. What they don't do (or try to avoid?) is leveraging their position to unfairly complete with other companies.

Amazon launching new product lines and boosting them to the top of the search results is almost textbook leveraging. Having information showing they used their internal data to find which products to market is basically icing on the cake.

Google has already been dinged for this with their Google Apps boosterism on their search results. I can't imagine this goes any differently from that.
I hope this is the beginning of the end of phone companies expanding into being mass media companies.
Even if you worked there, you may not have been aware of the fact that Yahoo already had an investment in a still small, but exponentially growing ecommerce startup in China, or that part of the reason the deal fell apart was because of a difference in opinion over how to value that asset.
explorer.exe . Has always worked for me from inside wsl
I am not so sure you understand how well I am aware.
I really didn't though. There was real fear at the time that if auto makers went under it would ripple through their supply chains and gut the economies of numerous states, then leading to a cascading series of state and local budgetary crises. How correct that assessment was is up for debate.

The fear with banking was that the industry had become so consolidated and interleaved that a failure of one mega-bank would bring down the whole financial system and cause a liquidity crisis that would tank any industry that relied on credit for ongoing operations, which is most industries.

None of this was about companies' behavior it was about how they had become so large that their failure would destroy huge segments of the real economy. Arguably though, the bailouts are a form of moral hazard that make more companies too big to fail.

Its commentary on the system.
Yeah, come to think of it I guess it’s not obvious is profitable and definitely not extremely profitable.

Technically (and by accident) what I originally said is still true— it makes a lot of money (but may cost a lot of money) and so it still looks good on quarterly reports (esp. if they bury the costs) so they’ll keep it around.

Plus, I wouldn’t be surprised if my Google search results were informed and improved by their data about my watch history.
That’s why they used the words “this sort of thing” and not “this thing”.

Amazon Advertising | Front End Engineer | New York, NY | Full-time | ONSITE/HYBRID (remote for now)

https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/1412492/front-end-engineer (for better results, don't apply online - message me first and I'll make a referral)

My team owns the campaign building experience for Self-Service Performance Advertising. We meet the demand of worldwide advertisers to reach full-funnel audiences, both on and off of Amazon. I'm looking for a front-end engineer to be a reliable, capable contributor to this team’s mission. You will own the design and implementation of major end-to-end features. You will also be a part of a community of SDEs and FEEs, where there is a strong spirit of collaboration and support. You will regularly work with fellow engineers, designers, product managers, and engineering leaders. This role necessitates a comfort-level with ambiguity and a desire to create, iterate and improve.

2+ years professional experience in large-scale front-end software development required. This is fully remote for now, but we'll eventually snap to Amazon's on-site policy, which will most likely involve some hybrid working model. Team is centered in New York City.

Contact: benhaas@amazon.com (I'm the SDM for this team, not a recruiter)
It's a lot easier to comparison shop. Also you can trust that the Quaker on the shelf is real name-brand Quaker. So you can look at the store brand prices, packaging, etc. and make a reasonably informed and quick decision.

I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon lets the fraud and ratings scams go somewhat unchecked so as to make their own house brand look "safe" and desirable.
Digitizing Websites
Hilarious advice considering Google's own non-adherence to it. Opening Gmail today is slower than when I was opening it on IE6 in 2004.
Interesting point. 'Glitch' seems to have it's own agency.

Another good bit of etymology. Popularization of 'cool' / Lester Young.
I went to splay.com - and I have literally no idea what your site is.. please ELI5.

Its just a bunch of images, which load very slowly... no about or any other information.
The amount of data Google gets off of people using GA is incredible and they don't pay for it.
Google should be paying people for using their GA.
This is generally not how grocery operates today.

Most large grocers:

- Sell shelf location slots to the highest bidder.
- Include a consignment clause in their vendor agreements requiring vendors to take back spoiled, customer-damaged, and unsold inventory at X point or on-demand.
- Require merchandisers to keep inventory in-stock for as many products as they can get vendors to manage (e.g. the coke delivery person is in-store several days a week.)

All of this is especially true for shelf stable products and beverages.

The modern grocery store is effectively managed like a flea market and is allowed to do so because the chains have so much leverage.

So while we can take issue with Amazon’s practices, we have to remember that most of large-scale retail operates in ways that if written about to the level of Amazon, we’d also be griping about.
Define "gut up". Why would Apollo want to destroy the asset they just bought?

The entire state of Florida should be a nature preserve, maybe it already is.
This looks awesome. Is the underlying recorded data available in an easy to parse format like JSON?

Would be quite powerful to do 90% of the work of transforming that recording to a puppeteer script to add to one’s test suite.

Speaking of which, what is the state of the art right now for browser automation scripts?
If society knew what it wanted then there would be no point in trying something new. Even if it did know, there are wouldn't be "reasonable industry practices". The only experts in that domain are called lawyers.

Many businesses base their existence on breaking and building systems. After all, they're called start-ups for a reason. Proactive regulation (which seems like what you're proposing) just sounds like putting the cart before the horse and expecting the rest of the world to follow. To paraphrase Henry Ford, if he concerned himself with what people said they wanted, they would ask for faster horses.
They can produce blocks with invalid signatures, but they're stopped by nodes validating. But if instead of validation nodes skip blocks and use a commitment to the state, then they're not validating anymore. How that fails is why I gave the ethereum example, because I think the security has actually practically failed there-- just not been exploited yet.

> as for storage and performance, maybe it would make sense to take the performance hit of maintaining a persistent immutable set such that you would be able to travel back as far as you like with minimal overhead.

The cost of supporting that arbitrarily would be extremely high over and above the cost of having the complete blockchain. I don't see why anyone would choose to run a node to serve that. I certainly wouldn't-- it's obnoxious enough just to have an archive node. But having some periodic snapshots would probably be fine ... but not that many since each would be on the order of 7GB of additional storage.

No, there is work ongoing I haven't been following closely. Sounds like you're more interested in the assumeutxo style usage, so search for that and muhash.
At this point though, there’s so many EVs on the road in LA/SF that the HOV lanes aren’t necessarily faster.
Is this true? Plenty of IQ tests are extremely simple pattern recognition. The science of measuring human cognitive performance is plagued by cultural taboos more so than process issues.
I already have everything I need, what should I consume next?

Those examples are not consumption, they are investments for the future and are arguably a net positive and a saving's mechanism by themselves (saving the planet, your living condition, etc).
Almost every small local news website that wants to send you push notifications has started doing this—a sticky popup that they can show you as many times as they want, providing only a little more information then the actual permissions pop-up would, allowing them to bypass "only request permissions after user interaction" schemes and reducing their (UA-visible) decline rates.

Try to think of the Torah -- God's literal word, to Orthodox Jews -- as the Constitution, and rabbinical scholars throughout the generations as the Supreme Court.

The Torah prohibits work on Shabbat, but only points out a few instances in the broadest terms. One of those is to not carry items "between domains", directly referenced in Exodus and Jerimiah, but again only a single passage in each instance. This was expanded upon in Talmudic works, which include an explanation of what exactly constitutes a public domain.

The eruv is not a loophole to "fool God". The eruv is a means to adjust the technical (or legal) definition of a public domain.

When one ensures that a community has a functioning eruv, that itself is part of Shabbat observance.
My solution for "I will always download" ... I have separate sim for my facebook account, and I only use it to register messenger.

I have contemplated switching to e-ink smarphone. Eink screens are getting usable enough for texting/banking, but are still horrible enough not to spend hours on social media.
> That’s not to say that impact can or should be measured by the number of likes received (unlike, say, personal worth). But the individual responses tell a story of how meaningful even the smallest tweak can be to your users.

Depends a lot on how you define "impact" at the end of the day. Did such measures make GitHub preferable over other platforms? It's not obvious.

It's easy to mistake the visibility of solving an issue with its impact. Sometimes they have no impact at all yet they seem important.
I thoroughly enjoyed this, also found a couple collections of additional variants:

Right, but what Google did was to slow down only the non-AMP ads. If the goal was to build a better user experience, they should have slowed ALL the ads.
I think discord is great but I do agree with you. The whole "join a new server" UX is in this weird place where you might not use it that often (even if you are a heavy discord user), discord having an unusual concept of servers, combined with the flip-flop dance between browser and native app.

The end result feels slightly off. Like I can't say what should be happening, but what is actually happening feels not quite right.
I'm not sure why this really matters? As someone who is personally indifferent to Elon, this is not very interesting. To Elon detractors and people who want to see him fail, it just seems like an opportunity to 'dunk' on him in the media. People come and go from companies for various reasons, doesn't mean they are doomed.

I'm not an expert on Neuralink, but the little bit I've seen from them it seems like they are in very early exploratory stages. I imagine this is an area of science that's very well understood. So they are likely blazing a path into uncharted territory. If the least they do is make meaningful contributions or discoveries in this field, I still think that's pretty awesome.

As far as delivering a product? I'm not aware that they've promised anything as far as that. Sure like most Musk companies they talk big game and throw around lofty concepts, but that's always been their strategy to churn up interest in the media.

Presumably they intent to start out with some type of device to assist paralyzed folks interact with computers/ phones. If they do achieve this, that would be remarkable. But this is realistically still what, just a guess, 3-5 years away?

I'm not sold on Samsung's "behind the screen" anything. The fingerprint sensor in my wife's phone is embedded in the screen, and it just doesn't work. The sensor on the back of the phone was much, much better.
Yes, there are different tiers of abstraction, but I think this article, about lifetimes, would be better if it just discussed scope.

As is, it goes into implementation details for block scoped storage, but just posits that new and delete exist without mentioning any detail. That’s unbalanced.

Rereading it, it also assumes you know C well enough to know about malloc, so maybe, just saying “C++ can automatically do stuff when variables go out of scope or when you allocate or free memory. Here’s what it can do…” might be sufficient)
I think it means level. I assume the reason to say that is that having a higher level in a video game is considered good, whereas it is common for people to discriminate against people of more age.
