Yeah, since they were pressured by the government into issuing a recall, they figured it would be a good time to shed customers that don't provide them recurring income which will offset the cost of the recall.
It would be useful but it would probably require Amazon’s cooperation. I agree that it doesn’t mean the reporter did anything wrong to run the story with the info they could gather. Maybe someone from Amazon will explain in response to this story?

But there is a mystery at the heart of this story. Amazon’s decisions seem hard to explain. We should let it remain a mystery until we learn more, without either assuming they’re evil villains or speculating that there must be a logical explanation.

(And it might have been good for the story itself to say this.)
Same with my dad and his car, he is restoring an old Ford and its taken him at least 6 years to get all the parts from a wide variety of sources all over the country. He was very lucky to find some of the OEM trim for the car from a guy a few towns over, in basically new condition. Apparently said guy has a huge collection of parts for old Ford vehicles.
Regarding your proposed scheme, what's to stop me taking a screenshot from the app and sharing it with all my friends? If the QR code contains no personal info then how does the person scanning it know who the code was generated for?
if the compensation is artificially kept low yes, this should be (and is?) illegal. the fact that there are other places nearby that pay really well tells me that, at a minimum, people have options.
The US does not use GPS for primary navigation and never has. It is used for small corrections within the (classified) error bounds of INS, which is already very low in state-of-the-art systems. The US largely doesn't rely on a single INS either, but uses large networks of INS and other localization technologies to significantly reduce INS error. The purpose of GPS was to provide a highly accurate model of the world, not to navigate it per se.

Some newer INS technology purportedly can reliably maintain precision within the error margin of GPS corrections for very long periods of time such that it renders GPS corrections largely pointless. The US considers this keystone technology for the military; the state-of-the-art is strictly controlled classified technology.
They pay you for work because it’s work, not because it’s fun. It’s easy to say, but they get X from you for that money. They don’t take it, you give it. If you are unhappy with how much you are giving than give less. If they are unhappy with how much you are giving than they pay less. Just adjust how much you are willing to give.
I agree this is more hassle but the QR code implementation is only fine if you trust that some EU governments or companies won't try to abuse the system in the future. I'm not saying that this will happen but why not design the system so that it is not possible?

If verifier app will at some point start pinging some server having a QRCode in PDF or printed on paper won't save you from someone tracking all places you are going to. Imagine how useful it can be for tracking some politicians, activists or journalists and correlating that check-in information who they might be meeting with.
Why is that obvious? The only thing that’s obvious to me is that if these cross-platform GUI frameworks don’t support the web then almost no one who needs to build a cross-platform GUI will have any use for them.

> I think it's more that, if an item is in genuinely resellable working condition, lots of people are willing to pay 70% for it

That isn't the author's point. If it cost 20% of the price to produce and ship a product to the end user (AKA 400% markup, which isn't unreasonable for many items) then providing a discount >20% is less profitable than selling a new item at full price. Obviously it isn't an exact formula (you may capture sales that you would have otherwise lost) but the larger the discount the less likely it is to make sense, even if the item is "free" to sell because your profit off of the discounted "free to produce" item is less than the profit off of the new item, even after subtracting the costs.
> A second point, oft neglected in the crypto community, is that crypto prices won’t continue to go up forever at high rates.

The True Believers expect and want this to happen. It has to level out to be a currency. Cryptocurrency is useless as a currency with the current volatility as a result of ignorant and rank speculation.
Had this for a year and it's a huge pain in the neck. Mercifully, my levels dropped to zero after a year and I was declared clear, but I'm now ultra-paranoid about ticks when going outside. I nearly died from it while discovering I had it: had a cheeseburger for dinner and woke up in the middle of the night covered in hives and then collapsed in anaphylaxis. One emergency room trip later (apparently my BP dropped to 'how are you still breathing' levels briefly) I was back on my feet, but I spent the ensuing year scrutinizing food for mammal contributions. I found them in surprising places: that soup at the Chinese restaurant flavored with pork fat (glad I asked first!), the vitamins and medications in gelatin capsules, the chicken wings fried in beef fat.

The annoying thing about this is that it's extremely variable. The allergist I saw is one of the names on the early studies of this, and has been seeing patients throughout the southeast with it for the last twenty or so years. He's seen people that reacted violently if Wendy's didn't change the fryer oil, and other patients that barely reacted unless they had a steak. He even had one cattle farmer who would react to eating anyone's cattle except his own, to which he didn't react at all.
The novel idea reminds me a bit of the Greg Egan short story The Moral Virologist[0] in his collection Axiomatic.

"John Shawcross is a fundamentalist Christian who is disappointed that safe sex has limited the spread of HIV/AIDS, which he considers to be God's punishment for sexual immorality; consequently, he becomes a virologist, so that he may create a new, more lethal virus."

I still remember my first palm pilot and already wondering why it wasn't a cell phone. I had a Nokia 9000iL that connected to the internet using a built in modem at 9600 baud in 1998 so I saw the internet as fully mobile from very early on.

I thought tech would be used more for good. The 90s were an incredible era where the internet and the people using it were usually good people interested in changing the world. Now everything is a scam, or collecting information on you. In the end, all internet money flows to advertising which is just sad. It's so over-commercialized and my original hopes have long been dashed.

At least I can run Linux. That makes me happy.
Only thing that has worked for me was to get a new job. I tried to work through it, but my performance continually degraded. Only something new/exciting kept me going. Gone through this 3 times now.
>Others can vouch if I'm wrong

The problem is, unless I'm misunderstanding something about HN, they can not vouch until the submission is already dead.

You're not out of bounds to suppose this will have some bad comments, but I do think it's presumptuous to bet there will be no interesting discussion. There in fact has already been both - a lot of interesting discussion, and a little bit of bad comments. I encourage you to flag bad comments while they are still the minority, and only resort to flagging the submission if they take over, since, again, nobody can vouch for the submission until it's dead, at which point there will be fewer people to vouch for it, as it will be hidden.

Edit: Actually, maybe vouch is only for comments, and not for submissions? I'm not sure exactly how it works, but I think my suggestion still makes sense.
What's next, a kettlebell bolted to the floor until I agree to a monthly subscription?

I can't imagine paying this much money to _just_ run. Okay, run and have someone encourage me. I get that they're successful, and lots of people seem to want a treadmill or bike that doesn't move, but I don't personally understand it. I'm starting to feel old fashioned with my workout technology, shoes and shorts.
Navigating those kind of frameworks and libraries is also incredibly frustrating. Where are my data structures? It's all hidden, scattered behind idiosyncratic interfaces that provide little observability.
Yes, and I'll take any reasonable precaution I can to avoid getting COVID: social distancing, wearing a mask, regularly using disinfectant, working from home, etc.

The choice isn't between the vaccine or COVID.
They mention “performance/area” as being dramatically better than Cortex-A75. I’m not familiar with whether area is expected to relate to power usage.
It could be atmospheric effects or another trick of nature. Also, the USG could deny ownership and still be the owner, either because they are lying or because one hand doesn’t know what the others are doing.
Towing ratings are given in lbs but you have to remember that is a "full system" number which includes the load on the hitch, the tongue weight, and (the usual limiting factor) the ability for the vehicle to reasonably accelerate and stop the entire mass in a reasonable time and distance.

I estimated the required power and the equivalent "trailer weight" of towing a tesla model s under full regen elsewhere in this thread; it's roughly equivalent to towing a trailer of approximately 2000-2500lbs, depending on speed. A vehicle with a similar tow rating and a minimum 250hp engine should do the job.
> Why would more features equal less performance?

"More features" can include things that were not feasible in the '90s. Things that inherently consume more resources.

Icons/images are a simple example.

Of course good software can get plenty done with 16x16 images.
Good software may get all that done and more with access to more memory for higher resolution images and more CPU cycles for image manipulation.
This isn't a problem of clean code and software, its a problem of walled gardens.

Starting a business. I had no idea what I was doing when I started, went into pretty heavy debt at one point and worked way more than anyone else I knew. But this taught me far more about what I wanted out of my career than anything else. Truly owning something end to end teaches you a lot about life.

The intended purpose of GPS was navigation. It is reckless to rely solely on GPS for your navigation, but it is a very important part of any modern navigation system.
"I find myself struggling to focus or find the energy to work most days"

Take a good, hard look at your nutrition. Nutritional deficiencies or imbalances can cause all sorts of severe issues, including mental issues such as loss of focus and energy (and worse).

Regular exercise can help with energy, as can getting enough sleep. Make sure you're doing this.

Take a break and do something actually relaxing for a while.

Fortunately, it doesn't sound like you have really severe burnout (where you're severely depressed and absolutely hate and loathe what you do, and never want to do it again)... in which case I'd recommend switching careers, and the sooner the better. In your case it sounds like more like a mild case, where you have a good chance of getting back to work if you take care of yourself.

Still, I'd ask myself: is this really what I want to do in the long run? If not, you might want to start exploring other options... and the sooner the better. It's much harder to switch careers when you get older.

Seeing a therapist might be a good idea too... a real therapist, not one that reflexively fills your mouth with pills.

From the 'Tuning' page:

> In the case of the human voice, these overtones will all be harmonics, because they display relationships based on perfect integers. On non-biologic instruments (which display slight deviations from perfect numbers due to mechanical attributes like stiffness), the whole matrix will get stretched or compressed according to the deviation (or “inharmonicity”) factor

I'm not sure I understand an instrument made mostly of meat and cartilage and maybe a little phlegm can be more 'perfect' than a mechanical one.
As I said, a travesty.

The cleaner at my old office in the UK. Loved her job. Semi-retired old lady, came in, chatted to everyone, only worked a few hours a week, great cleaner.

Ex-girlfriend worked as a maid in a hotel in Broome while travelling. Perfect job, no responsibility, you could do it with a hangover, free accommodation, enough money to drink, an instant social life with the other employees. Stayed there for months until she decided she had to see other places.

I'm not saying they'd do it for free - well, possibly the cleaner in the UK (forgotten her name). But they definitely weren't stuck there doing a job they hated just for the money.

That's fair, and I agree the fraction of people who "drive stick" over here is far smaller than in the UK, where it's the majority case (by far).

I do know a few people who've bought themselves a manual drive car (normally a performance one, after they've got to the point where they're financially secure) and without exception they passed their test in an automatic...
Dark Matter was first postulated because galaxy rotation curves strongly suggested if there was not unseen matter, galaxies would fly apart. But these observations of galaxies were each of a galaxy in isolation, not taking into account the gravitational effects of other "nearby" galaxies. In essence, Dark Matter is a fudge to explain the observation that galaxies are not flying apart. Since, other observations that can't be explained have been lumped into Dark Matter. But it turns out, Dark Matter is unnecessary to explain galaxy rotation curves.[0] Galaxies are never gravitationally isolated. They always come in clusters and superclusters.

The question is, without the need for Dark Matter to explain galaxy rotation curves, what are the remaining reasons for the need for Dark Matter?
I'm in a similar boat, I've been working for 10 years and I was burnt out before the pandemic, but the last year has been brutal.

People in the replies are saying "get a hobby", which isn't a bad idea if you find yourself over-working. Personally, my burnout is more like inability to initiate tasks and focus during the workday. I can go cycling or play video games no problem, any time, but work specifically is a huge barrier.

The only solution I've seen work is to take an extended break, and identify what about your work is burning you out. Do you need more autonomy? Do you need more guidance? Purpose? Connection with your coworkers? Personally, I realized I wouldn't ever use our product (it's very complicated for little benefit compared to the competition) and it has mountains of tech debt nobody cares about cleaning up, which has really killed my motivation. So I'm going to quit soon and take a few months to deliberately search for a company doing something that seems valuable/important.
> Five months after he first posted his solutions online, Mr. Ziraoui has now disappeared from the Zodiac forums. He has stopped responding to comments, saying he did not “have the skills to play” in the charged environment of the online forums.

The most significant modern phenomenon is online social movements. They are very powerful, overriding almost any other factor in society, and not surprisingly they are used to manipulate people and public affairs.

Many do not identify them as a specific phenomenon; the movements strongly react to anything that might undermine them, of course, including defining them as anything but a grassroots, incidental grouping of individuals (e.g., no group psychology); and few understand how they work.

They are not a well-defined concept, their existence is often denied, but they are everywhere and changing our world.
Everything gets boring after the initial rush of learning a new skill.

Everything.

I'm certain that even astronauts are "over it" by the 3rd or 4th time they go to space. The key is seeking out orthogonal fields. Luckily with programming, there are so many of those that you're only limited by the human lifespan. Tired of crunching ML data? Try game programming. It's almost a completely different discipline, while still building on the things you know.
Well, a different perspective (as someone who was unwillingly tossed back into the dating pool at age 38).

While online dating was indeed a bit of a nightmare, dating older women in general was a net positive for me.

I liked people who have lived life a bit, made mistakes, hopefully learned from them, are past the point of obsession about body type, and are more focused on character and how to treat/be treated properly.

People do learn and grow as they age, and most of us become better people.
Cargo trains are much longer than container ships (at least in the US). The average train is over a mile long, and trains that are 3 or more miles long are not uncommon. A single ship is of course still going to carry a lot more cargo, but don't underestimate the throughput of trains.

I am really really challenging your sentiment - we live in a time where more and more people than ever stay single even in their early 30s. Especially the gender balance there has changed immensly. What evidence do you have to the contrary?
Thank you for this. I am definitely going to try these bullets. My sleep has been pretty poor as well as other habits having been trapped in my apartment for 1.5 years (my city/state locked down especially hard).
I'm not so much trying to create a gotcha moment but rather have them logically explain how something would be possible. Hopefully we could think it through and determine if it made sense knowing what we know.

But I'm not sure whether this is really the cause of my observation; everything looked normal in April and May, but suddenly by end of May the bumblebees vanished. I still see some from time to time (one or two a day, compared to dozens in normal years). I also found a few exhausted ones on the ground that could no longer fly, but there were no mites on those.

Everything that uses NVIDIA drivers on Linux, e.g. through OpenGL. Just bringing up an empty window takes over a second these days, while it was <200ms just a few years ago, even with spinning metal disks instead of SSDs.
Voting with your wallet also doesn't work in an economy where companies are either backed by VCs or can borrow at near-zero interest rates. Companies like WeWork and Uber can lose billions per quarter by undercutting competitors, yet stay afloat because of the SV money hose.
>Isnt this rating more about supporting and breaking force for the combined vehicle and load weight.

There are braking requirements in the test but the bottleneck is almost always (i.e. I want to say always but I don't put it past Dodge to show up with a 700hp vehicle) the acceleration and minimum speed up a grade portions of the test. Given the weight that can be accelerated and pulled up a grade per the test requirements basically every vehicle winds up passing the braking portion with room to spare.

But if you get all your vehicle performance advice on Reddit and HN I can see why you'd think brakes are always the bottleneck.
