The most interesting part of the HN discussion is not about the definition of what Amazon is doing, but the occasional misunderstanding of how large brick and mortar retail businesses operate at scale (see: buying shelf space/payment dependant on sales/etc).

There are lots of folks on here that understand what Amazon is doing, less who understand retail businesses mechanisms.

I'm not sure what Amazon is doing is legal (def will vary widely between the eu and us markets), but it is another interesting example of how doing something at scale can be perceived as fundamentally different then when it's done in a smaller way (especially as it pertains to privacy).
Out of my 4 spots, 2 are urban and 2 are suburban. I’ve had a great suburban experience, 1 bad. Both urban were really good.

I realize that could come off as accusatory, but I've seen this said a bunch. And it seems like it never occurs to people that maybe they're so invested in a certain viewpoint that they've given up the meta-cognition to consider something they've convinced themselves to be wrong.

What if $company, for whatever reason, decided every employee in $state would have their salary reduced by X% across the board and $state announced they would step in and use taxpayer money to make up the difference in $company employee paychecks. Would you be absolutely fine with your taxpayer money being used to subsidize labor in that way? What if $company is highly profitable and sitting on more cash than $state government has available? What if you're a business owner in $state and have to compete in the market for labor where one big player with tons of money gets to pay less for the same work?

It's not about income tax so much as it is about the government subsidy being granted and whether or not it's the best use of the government's limited financial resources.

It's amazing how many of these ideas have already been tried in some way or another. I thought I had a couple of clever, novel ideas for aircraft design, but then I came across this book[0]. The book is about technical progress more generally, but has a long section that goes over aircraft development (mainly focusing on VTOL). All sorts of things were tried from roughly the 30s-70s, including most of the stuff that is reappearing today. Basically every clever idea I thought I'd originated had already been flown, and while some worked okay, none were better in practice than what's been settled on commercially.

IMC Financial Markets | Software Engineer, Developer Productivity ; Linux SRE | Chicago, Amsterdam | ONSITE | Full-time | http://www.imc.com

DevProd: We're looking for an experienced Software Engineer to join our small Developer Productivity team. The team improves developer experience with a particular focus on build speed, verification tooling, and codebase improvements using the Bazel build system in our Java/C++/etc codebase. In this generalist role you'll often dive deep to solve problems all across our tech stack to provide high-quality tooling and services to our internal developer community.

Primary languages: Starlark (Bazel's subset of Python), shell scripting, C++, Java. Our technology organization is growing steadily, which means maintaining the simplicity and speed of our software builds is more valuable than ever and regularly presents new and interesting challenges.

Linux SRE: Almost everything we do is on-prem bare-metal as opposed to cloud, and we're hiring SREs with deep Linux systems experience to provision, operate, and improve our global server fleet. Both growing scale and low-latency requirements regularly present new problems to solve. The team is small and often works closely with colleagues across the org in a collaborative environment. Python and Puppet experience a plus. While there are occasional issues requiring off-hours attention, there is no on-call rotation.

To get started, email me at the address listed in my profile with "HN MAY" in the subject.

(Even though this lists ONSITE, we've been operating fully remote during COVID)

IMC is among the world’s leading technology-driven trading firms, and a market maker in securities listed on exchanges across the globe. High-performance algorithms, smart strategies, and collaborative teams are the core of our business.
TSMC's upstream is ASML. And interestingly ASML just recently managed to come up with a "good enough" pellicle (a transparent protector for the lithography mask) for EUV, and they are outsourcing the manufacturing of that to Mitsui as fast as they can.

"The pellicle production tools have been installed in Mitsui, which this year will ramp up EUV pellicles based on ASML’s technology. Mitsui is no stranger to pellicles, and already produces optical pellicles. ASML will continue to do R&D for future pellicles."

https://semiengineering.com/euv-pellicles-finally-ready/

There is specialization (comparative advantage) outsourcing, with a living connection between the partners. ASML does the R&D an Mitsui scales it up, etc.

And there's stubbornness driven outsourcing, where companies for some reason don't want to offer a competitive compensation, but are willing to spend a lot on service contracts. (Because they can claim that the risks are managed by the service provider.) And they end up with subpar solutions supplied by whatever vendors that had the patience to deliver to a completely incompetent client (and the necessary audacity to bill them as much as possible).

Texas, rather than having income taxes, just has relatively high property taxes compared to other states. It's not like you don't pay any taxes living in Texas.

In fact, I would consider high property taxes with zero income tax to be a rather regressive form of taxation that strongly benefits high income earners.
And you've got to engineer for its safety. Most batteries are in highly firewalled (in the physical sense of walls made to keep fire from spreading in the battery), structurally intense places in an EV (often in current "skateboard" designs the battery helps make up the literal foundations of the car). Making them removable adds safety tradeoffs (weaker firewalls so that they can be opened/closed for battery removal operations; among other structural trade-offs).
We did a lot of studies of this, and one of the more

I am a product designer building products for more than 7 years now with my team. I love being in the early stages of the startup. Working closely with founders, listening to their ideas, being deep in the problem space, and talking to users. Mixing all of this to bring functional yet beautiful designs that are not going to break developers’ necks.

In the past 7 years, I built and designed multiple products used by tens of thousands of users.

I am open to fixed term contract (up to 3 months) to help you brainstorm, validate and design the product you envisioned.
The most obvious and resilient scam ever. Makes me doubt how bright the future of humanity is.
I disagree that everything would be slow. Yeah, there are websites with so many JS bloat that they can make the fans start up in my laptop, but otherwise, your computer does a shitton of things, most of which is essential complexity.

To-the-point software is actually really fast, like gcc/clang does tons of optimizations compared to what compilers did a few decades ago, and I doubt you could realistically optimize it by a significant percentage in the general case. Same for databases. Browsers themselves are also pushing the boundaries of hardware, they can display static HTML/CSS ridiculously fast even though it is not ideal for layouting. Pretty much only the top of the abstractions “suck” sometimes, but there are really fast JS apps as well.

> we even have magazines comparing the IQs of different presidents throughout history, as estimated by pseudo-psychologists.

Which magazine / when? It sounds like this might actually contain some insight into the thinking of the magazine's editors, which could be interesting (so long as one is careful to assign no truth value to the content).

Edit: Googling has led me to a few, all citing this one paper from 2006. Political Psychology, Vol. 27, No. 4 (Aug., 2006), pp. 511-526 TLDR: The methodology is a bit loose, taking biographical achievements in earlier life and correlating them with people of known intelligence who did similar things. This leads to the perhaps-unsurprising result that they were all estimated at above-average IQ. I'm not sure why a 2006 paper would be turned into article fodder now.
This breaks the rules at the top. Please don't do that.

Setting inplace=True isn't too bad, but I definitely have had many issues with working with indexes in Pandas. I don't understand why they didn't design it so that the index can be referenced like any other columns. It overcomplicates things like having to know the subtle difference between join() and merge().
Just look at how well this works out for every town trying to set up its own broadband when Comcast and others fail to invest. Lawsuits raining down for every possible reason, shared public resources blocked for months, misinformation campaigns to convince people that public broadband is a waste of their money and anyone involved in it should be kicked from their office.

Its like competing in a five hundred meter sprint if the winner of the last twenty races had a shotgun. His time sucks, but he doesn't need to actually run as long as nobody else makes it to the finishing line.
> No matter how elaborate your designs, someone will always find a way in given enough incentive

I'd reverse it. When you realize you need "security" you can't just focus on one or two aspects. You have to figure out what you need security from. A padlock won't stop the government of course, but it will stop a teenager who wouldn't want to leave any trace of breaking it nor know how to pick locks.

Just like storing your cryptocurrencies on a hardware device might protect it against phishing attacks or other technological attacks but it won't stop someone from grabbing you in person and threatening you with a hammer. For that you need physical protection.

So unless you know who you're protecting yourself/your thing against, you won't be able to know what security you really need.
Arguably updating packages could be a bit more obvious than

I stayed on WSL1 for the shared localhost. And WSL2 still have some performance issues related to memory usage and Disk IO.

But yeah, I agree, Windows 10 has a great UX. I switched to windows because of the WSL, and I end up using it less and less over time: ssh, ansible, and avoiding cross-compiling toolchains when building releases, that's about it.
Yes, absolutely-- the general claim lacks enough specificity to fully evaluate it. Should there be a need for extremely high precision, even somewhat "slow" speeds would be considered relativistic in terms of the need to take such corrections into account.
There are plenty of internet OTT services that provide live TV like Hulu Live, YouTube TV, Sling, etc.

These days if you’re not into sports, there is really no need for live TV. You can mix and match streaming services.
A quick search for Lishi tools shows many sites selling them. At $80 each, the cost to tinker around is too high for me. AliExpress has what I assume to be terrible quality ones selling for about $40 each.
Not sure if it applies to the US, but generally municipalities could use taxpayer money to fund it and make the service free, which beats any corporation, since it's equivalent to making it mandatory to be a customer.

The fact is every state brings these incentives to the bargaining table with large firms. A region that doesn’t participate won’t likely get a seat at the table. There are state-funded economic development agencies whose role it is to field RFPs from growing firms and complete for the location of their new facilities.

This particular one is rather innocent as it is indexed to employee pay, ensuring that employment is required for any future tax breaks. Many of the failed packages have not been crafted so well, for instance with flat sums or without performance requirements.

The best thing that could happen would be that states collectively agree to stop playing that game together, but barring a federal ban that seems unlikely that all parties would walk away from that bargaining tool.
Is the solution presented in the blog to utilize a cookie to determine if someone is a prospective user versus already a user not an acceptable compromise?

It seems rather straightforward to me, from their example, to de-emphasize the "Sign Up" button and prioritize the "Sign In" button for someone who already has an account.

It's true in the U.S. as well. There are abandoned buildings all over Los Angeles that are just sitting rotting. Here is one that has been abandoned for years, is burned out, and even sits directly adjacent to a subway station.

I've noticed this for years, and always wondered "Why?" myself. Then I came across a UX blog where the author suggested doing exactly this. Their reasoning being that new users aren't familiar with your website, so they need a big garish button to help them sign up easily, whereas regular users are familiar with your website already so they will know where the Login link resides.

I don't agree with it personally, I think it reflects an organization where marketing is prioritised over customer happiness.
Airtable | San Francisco/Mountain View CA; Austin TX | Onsite | Software Engineer (many roles open), Data Engineer, Data Scientist, SRE, Engineering Manager

[COVID-19: The whole company is currently working remotely. Employees can be fully remote until at least summer 2021.]

Airtable's mission is to democratize software creation by enabling anyone to build tools that meet their unique needs. So far, we've built a real-time collaborative database and a rich set of components that enable applications and workflows to be assembled around that database. Unlike single-purpose apps, we think of Airtable as a toolkit of building blocks that people repurpose to create their own applications.

To give a flavor of our approach to product design, here's a blog post describing how we made Airtable's lightweight scripting layer: https://airtable.news/creating-a-scripting-environment-for-a...

We believe strongly in continuously improving our codebase and practices, even when it takes ambitious effort. Here's a recent blog post about how we ported a million lines of our code from Flow to Typescript:
https://medium.com/airtable-eng/the-continual-evolution-of-a...

We're hiring software engineers for web (JavaScript + TypeScript, Node, React), iOS (Objective-C, Swift), and Android, as well as data engineering, data science, SRE, and many other roles.

We're a team with diverse backgrounds. We believe in the power of highly motivated and capable individuals to accomplish great things in small teams, with end-to-end ownership of projects and rapid iteration.

> Leveling the playing field, as you say, would be a significant infringement of state rights.

States don’t have rights, like any other level of government they jave powers granted by the people.

Further, when it comes to acts affecting interstate commerce, the federal government has been granted preemptive powers, since the adoption of the Constitution, for the exact purpose of levelling the playing field. So even if one makes the terminological error of referring to states powers reserved against the federal government as “rights”, this very much would not violate those “rights”.
