Amazon just recently started to use robots. Most existing operations still use physical labour. FCs are more efficient, as single entities, because they are designed as such. They have proper infrastructure, tools, people, processes.

For grocery fulfillment, I don't think they are better at scale. Because they are for from the customers, they are not everywhere. Existing stores, so, are there. They use established replenishment from existing warehouses. Which means you have to use existing staff and store processes (and software) to fulfill orders. Which is hard. So it's either expensive or hard to do (which could expensive in itself). Over simplified.
Will anyone even care in 5-10 years?

OP here. This issue broke the website we've been building: https://wormhole.app

The vast majority of the time we spend diagnosing and working around browser bugs is devoted to Safari. As an iPhone/Mac user and lover of all things Web, I really, really want Apple to get their act together with Safari. We sadly keep running into issues like this.

Here are a few more recent examples:

I agree with your point. Maybe I should get off my ass and contribute to an open protocol that I believe in...

Unfortunately I’ve got my day job to perform and my side projects I really enjoy have nothing to do with crypto.
> It’s good news when universities share technology with the private sector, and when startup companies get formed based on university research.

It’s public money that is going to feed private individuals. With no ROI/commission. I don’t feel like it’s good news.
Matrix doesn't "use google captcha". Matrix.org, one instance among so many, uses google captcha. Matrix is a federated protocol, so you can choose another instance or setup your own
Different landscapes between cities, different population sprawl, different customs/lifestyles, etc. E.g. cities in northern Australia are separated by vast jungles. Those areas have warmer/dryer climates. Easier to achieve herd immunity in countries like those. Achieve herd immunity in multiple small areas, it turns into achieving herd immunity everywhere.

Obviously if you can force people by gunpoint to not leave their homes, you can slow the spread (i.e. China)
I can attest to Stronglifts 5x5, which takes only 45 minutes 3x a week, and can keep you going for 6 months with amazing results. Pure strength weight lifting has the biggest impact on health out of any fitness activity I've ever tried.

One thing to note as with all lifting especially squats, depending on age, DOMS may be severe. The program starts as light as possible but even that may be too much. If starting from a very sedentary lifestyle it's probably best to start with a couple of weeks of cardio and light movement before lifting.

Damn, it's 8 in the morming and I was really confused what fully homophobic encryption was supposed to be.

That aside, this could be really useful though, if it gets implemented without too much performance loss. It might make using cloud storage services or stuff like Google Photos less problematic. Are there any examples of software services that already successfuly use this?
> Many researchers in academia are still monetary driven.

"Money driven" suggests that is the primary motivation, although I'm not sure that is what you meant: I think that's fairly rare in academia. Money is a consideration for most academics, but prestige generally is a much more important driver.
It might sound a bit pedantic, but kustomize strictly avoids the "Infrastructure as Code" space and stays in the "Infrastructure as Data" space. The main difference is that since it just deals with "data", you can build any higher level tooling on this. One of the major proponents of this idea is Brian Grant from Google. He tweets about this from time to time. Here is a recent one: https://twitter.com/bgrant0607/status/1404461906186833927
That kind of an issue is generally tested against by integration tests. Depending on the root cause unit tests for the entry point code might not have caught it.
Rim breaking on deep dish tempo wheels sounds horrifying.
If the quality of the road is bad, gravel bikes are equally as uncomfortable as race bikes. Not talking about non-asphalted roads as race bikes are of course not made for those.
> They attract programmers that love the beauty of the code - good programmers.

I see Rust as the inverse of this. The resulting code itself is not as concise and not as beautiful as other language can be. This problem is inherent to the problem Rust is trying to solve. But it communicates clearly what the developer intends to do.

> - but they don't actually help accomplish making maintainable code that solves problems

It may not solves your immediate problem, but Rust have solved a lot e.g. figma, discord, aws firecracker. It is just relatively a young language, because it grows slow, or supposed to be slow because of its wide range of capability, for that matter.

> But if I want to get something done, it's boring languages with boring constructs.

"Boring" is vague to describe a language. Choosing a language is always about matching the PL user's requirement and the PL APIs itself.

Tbh, TypeId and generics is the only Rusty thing in this article. Most of the other stuff is the author's invention to demo them. Usually for polymorphism. And it's pretty simple actually, you can just write it in TypeScript in the same way.
Death is 100.00% inevitable. So make a plan. Unlike trying to land a job or retire, it's not a waste of time to plan for.

If you're religious, you'll either go to hell or heaven. Or reincarnate. This depends on if you're a good person. So be a good person, every day, until you die.

It also grants some freedom. You die because you give your last bit of food to someone. Or you die because you got an allergic reaction to vaccines. Or you jump on a grenade. A noble death leads to a noble afterlife.

If you're not religious, then why worry? Supporting your family? Get life insurance. Write a will.

There's a theory that we will become dust and our consciousness becomes pure energy, one with the environment. That's pretty cool, isn't it?

Anything I left out? Identify it. Plan for it. If there's one thing you can control, this is it.
Rim brakes cannot fit around a wide tyre. Mechanical disc brakes with good pads (this is key, swap them out if necessary) are much more powerful than road rim brakes.

I'm very happy with this trend, too.

I've always had full-on road-bikes (skinny tyres, etc). While those are great for a ride out on the hills around my parents' house, I now live in the city where the roads are in a pretty bad shape, and more importantly they're very often paved with cobblestones (probably the very same ones laid down by the Romans).

I'm looking to buy an electric bike for my commute, and most bikes have the "upright" geometry. Maybe it's because of my habits, but I don't feel as safe on those, I find them less manoeuvrable and less efficient if I need to pedal hard (though with the electric motor that last point might be less important).

I'm happy those new "all-track" as they're called here exist, with disk brakes and all the creature comforts of regular "city bikes" but with a more familiar-to-me riding position. I'm less happy with those bikes always having a suspended fork, which I've always seen as useless for road bikes, but oh well...
I highly appreciate your hard-working skills as the post you published have some great information which is quite beneficial for me, I hope you will post more like that in the future

Any where I can look to gain insight on the Chinese market absorbing inflation?
Are there any benchmarks to estimate its usability?

I first encountered FHE many years ago, but while the concept is cool, the performance hit (IIRC I saw literally a million times slowdown back then) made it absolutely impractical for non-toy problems. And whenever I see reports, they tend to note that it's slow, just as this project (https://github.com/google/fully-homomorphic-encryption/tree/...) notes "the run-times of the FHE-C++ operations are likely to be too long to be practical at this time.", it does not provide any data on just how slow it is.

Are there measurements on how long the demos take to execute, so that I can evaluate if it has the potential for some specific idea without having to set up the build system to try it out myself? E.g. run the same string capitalization demo on 100, 10 000 and 1 000 0000 characters to benchmark its speed.

If you reread the comment chain the original context had to do with collection of PII. HN has only my IP address (no email, phone number, credit card, or ID). I am well aware that data regarding user interactions can be highly sensitive but it's not what was being discussed.
This was a 7% perf boost compiling the kernel, which does a lot of small file IO and memory allocations and thus stresses the MM code in the kernel.

The stock market performs two useful functions - a mechanism to raise capital (IPOs) and a mechanism to distribute profit (dividends).

We could live without it, and in an unequal society it's a bit broken because it tends to concentrate wealth when there's people who have massive amounts of market-making power, but removing it would probably be worse. In the 60s and 70s when ordinary people owned a more significant proportion of shares it worked quite well.
The old saying "The Markets Can Remain Irrational Longer Than You Can Remain Solvent" still applies.

Crypto has bred a generation of traders that have internalized hodling no matter what. This kind of provides the intrinsic value that cryptocurrencies originally lack.
Why are the internet companies worth more? Just ask yourself if you bought more online than the previous year and whether or not that consumption changes moving forward. For the vast majority of Americans, it is clear 2020 was an amazing year for Amazon.

I don't think they do if you're just referring to how difficult it is to pull off a 51% attack. Assume the status quo is that it costs X to secure 51% of the hash power. If there is a new ASIC that can hash twice as fast with the same energy use, then suddenly it will cost 0.5X to secure 51% of the hash power. But if the price of Bitcoin remains the same, then miners will have an incentive to double their hash power as that was their breakeven point before. And so now you've gone back to the previous status quo. Assuming the attackers have access to the new ASICs, it still costs X to 51% attack the network.
Width matters for air resistance. I can hear the air coming off my 2.1 inch tyres. Rene Herse knob bikes are still pretty loud in my experience!
IndexedDB does indeed suck, but there's really no alternative to it if you want Safari and Firefox support. Fortunately, in Chrome we have the FileSystem Access API which has a feature that lets you write into an "origin private" store, similar to how IndexedDB partitions storage per origin.

There's even recent work to add even higher performance APIs into the Filesystem Access API and the reception from Firefox and Safari has been positive. Really early work is happening here: https://github.com/WICG/storage-foundation-api-explainer and the latest proposal is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/121OZpRk7bKSF7qU3kQLqAEUV...

If Pi was chosen for its price, there are quite a few laptops on Ebay, that would have been much cheaper.
10 watts per tire is an absolutely enormous amount given that the rolling resistance of the tire itself is only 10 watts in total. The BRR test also claims that "the drum is covered with diamond plate to simulate an average road" - it isn't completely smooth [1]. If you're riding on roads that are so bumpy that you really need super low pressures (e.g. significantly lower than the 60psi you can run on a 28mm GP5000) then rolling resistance isn't a high priority. But honestly very few actual roads are that bad.

Weren't those new bikes heavier?

My own road bike is nothing particularly fancy, but it's very light. Just because those bikes may be made to take more of a beating than a road-bike, they may be heavier. I'm thinking in particular tougher wheels and front work, possibly the whole frame.
Can a useful comparison be made between Cue and Clojure.spec?
There is a major trade-off between convenience and security. Qubes is likely significantly more secure, but it is far, and I mean FAR less convenient.

Not a bad thing at all, I feel both have their place but they aren't comparable. Also you pretty much can't (shouldn't is more correct but when you do, you will feel it is closer to can't) run Qubes on the kind of low-end hardware many chromebooks ship with.

1. No, the state doesn’t have to register my phone number. And in countries where this is the case, that’s not a question of technology.

2. In poor countries where monthly phone bills or lack of banking is an issue they often have prepaid.

3. Almost every adult in the world has a phone, you don’t even need a smartphone for some of these payment systems.

4. If you’re a poor Kenyan farmer that has been using your phone to pay anonymously for over a decade, I highly doubt you care that you need “permission” from Safaricom to do it.

So no, I really really don’t see the point. And I am someone that raised (a tiny amount of) seed money for a crypto based money transfer system for Africa in 2012. There could be improvements on the margins but there’s really no disruptive advantage to it being “decentralised”.
I disagree a bit on this. Looking at previous data breaches, when something like an s3 bucket gets hacked, the news is not going to be about on how Amazon is responsible for company X's data breach but on how company X's servers got hacked. Stripe, like AWS, is the infrastructure, the onus is on a company to ensure their infrastructure security as it can be an existential risk. A philosophy of Stripe's is that that they succeed when their customers succeed, I'd like to think that they have a shared interest in try to prevent their customers being breached as much as possible.

Both of the issues you cited with drugs (harm caused by action performed whilst on drug) and prostitution (coercion) are the crimes rather than the drug or prostitution itself.

Driving while intoxicated should certainly be a crime, as should rape, or forms of coercion like intimidation. These are one step removed from the acts themselves though.

With prostitution we should be acting to separate the violence etc from the act, and one way to do that is to not punish the victim. Provide support, reduce moral judgement.

Regarding sodomy (not just buggery, but onanism, buggery, oral sex, anything non procreative), I suspect the reason provided initially would be that it's preventing conception. This limits the expansion of a culture. The aspect of disgust came later (see ancient Greek consideration of the topic vs Abrahamic faith).

Yeah you nailed it. This was ostensibly a technology company but they haven’t put out any real products I’m aware of in long time and have extracted some large amounts from big tech over the years. If they tried to knock us off or invalidate our patent the university would have gotten involved, that’s not a profitable avenue for them. Without that protection they likely would have set up a meeting to say “oh that’s really interesting work, but you know we have a patent that covers this so really it’s our work you understand”

So, let’s examine that. Why are IPO shares worth a shit? Ok, you got awarded an i.o.u. It has no connection to profit making since the market is irrational. How many times does a stock dump on record earnings (Apple). Why do we value this thing? Either the company cut you into revenue sharing or they didn’t, but why in God’s name are the rest of us being influenced by essentially financial influencers.

I mean I can understand why they dropped websql, as great a project as SQLite is, mandating that browsers expose SQLite is not a spec, and expecting a complete reimplementation of sql by browser developers would be foolish.

But yeah the assertion that indexeddb is any good is hardly convincing.

Nowadays you can use sqlite3 through wasm if you want, though I don’t know how you’d handle the persistence layer.

The size increase factor for vector is a compromise between performance and wasting memory. It's also a fairly hot code path, so you don't want to run some complicated code there to estimate the 'optimal' factor.

About the best you can do is if you know beforehand roughly how big it will be, is to reserve that capacity with std::vector::reserve().
I tappped out a couple of years ago. I don't have agency over most of the issues and if I did have agency I would probably already know about it from the community.

It's not willful ignorance, I have just acknowleded that I have limited time and resources and I should put those back into my local community. Being angry at stories on the internet helps no one.

I check in periodically, like once a month, to make sure I can still talk to people about stuff and am not too far out of the loop. But the daily scoop is not necessary.

All the people I know who like to think about issues deeply generally hate to be described as left or right and much prefer to reject labels.

Sometimes I'm not sure they actually can't be labelled, and sometimes the difficulty in labelling them comes from an overall lack of coherency rather than a truly uncategorisable position, but, I don't know anyone who calls themselves a centrist and could talk about politics in any depth. Centrism seems mostly, at least where I live, to be what people call themselves when they just support the status quo and wish politics would go away.
