> I called Amazon and they of course speak of them like they are some completely separate affiliate that has nothing to do with them. This is despite the fact they say Amazon and deliver only Amazon packages.

That's entirely the point: create a policy to cover your ass, put some schmuck under so much pressure that he's forced to violate it, then blame the schmuck when there's pushback (and try to present yourself as the good guy in the process).
Any non trivial app requires an understanding of a much larger part of the codebase than a tool like Copilot is looking at at any one time.

I don't think that's important. Copilot, at least as it's been demo'd so far judging by the examples, is to help you write small, standalone functions. It shouldn't need to know about the rest of the application. Just as the functions that you write yourself shouldn't need to know about the rest of the application either.

If your functions need a broad understanding of the codebase as a whole how the heck do you write tests that don't fail the instant anything changes?

>I'd rather have a happy safe driver than a miserable one at the end of his or her rope, all so I could save a dollar.

I mean, that's just you and your ethics as a person. Capitalism demands relentless and permanent profit, so capitalist culture is middle-managers doing exactly the opposite of you. Worse, they're in a rat-race against other middle-managers to see who can save the most money. So the system is designed to make sure workers don't get decent wages, feel safe, or happy. The system can't be for relentless profit and kindess to employees, unless pressure from the outside via regulations or collective bargaining. I think the idea that good hearted people at these companies should just generous is a little naive. The good hearted most likely don't get into positions of power and even if they did, they're still playing the same oppressive game everyone else is for their own paychecks. Its greed and short-sightedness, and oppression all the way down.
Why did they put so much effort into lying if it didn't matter?
> There is no "cancelling" debt. There's only forcing other people to pay.

No, there is actually cancelling debt.

There is also forcing someone else to pay, but that’s a different thing.

Its probably the case that only some (such as government-held portion) of the debt at issue could Constitutionally be cancelled, in the strict sense, though.

> The incentives here are entirely backwards.

Because its not (unlike, say, bankruptcy), an ongoing thing available to people in the future, it has negligible incentive effect. Even as precedent, the expectation “if a set of debts across society becomes sufficiently onerous, they may be cancelled for everyone” creates very little incentive for anyone.

The sources used in that article that mention his Soviet life are this very Youtube video(!), his own writings (sometimes under a pseudonym), a single newspaper obituary with no sources except quotes from people that knew him, or the CIA.

Supplement the list provided in the article by more modern boogeymen such as Negroes, Jews, Arabs, etc. and you have a nice explanation of recent history. I realize this may be deeply offensive to some of the readership here and emphasize that I don't look at the world in these terms. However, recent history is full of people that actually do demonize these groups of people; no matter how irrational that is.

Nothing has changed here except our ability to find meaningless differences among groups of people with enough of a qualifier to split the world into "us" and "them". It's a natural reflex that transcends genetics, race, and other ways to qualify people as us and them. There have been plenty of experiments to suggest that this us and them reasoning does not really have to involve anything meaningful or substantial. E.g. the Stanford Prison Experiment is a great example where giving some people a uniform is enough to trigger the effect.

IMHO Neanderthals did not actually disappear and the different subspecies of humanity simply merged to create a more fit offspring. Apparently humans carry enough neanderthal DNA to suggest that inter (sub)species breeding was a thing. Is that "us" or "them" or does that even mean anything? What do we call the humans without this DNA? Pure breads or ancestors? Is that better, worse, or just different? Is that even a thing? I.e. didn't those humans just die out?

We like to dramatize things into epic battles, fights, etc. But life a few thousand years ago was brutal and very much survival of the fittest biased. Apparently, humans with some neanderthal DNA were somewhat fitter and survived into modernity. No need to get judgemental about that.

> I don't get Amazon's play here.

According to the article, so far it’s only two delivery companies in one city, not an actual large trend across the country.

When negotiating with providers and vendors at scale, it’s common for some of them to give “no bid” responses or withdraw from negotiations if they don’t think the contract will be worth their time. The only way to find true market rate is to negotiate until some vendors or providers decline or withdraw, which is more or less what’s happening here.

If Amazon was unable to find other market rate delivery companies or unable to deliver the packages themselves, they’d pay more. The article has a heavy anti-Amazon angle, but this is just what market rate price discovery looks like at scale. Amazon deliveries haven’t ground to a halt in the city, so presumably they have a cheaper solution than using these two companies that would only work for higher rates.

Are we expecting full financial literacy from people who can't legally decide if taking a shot of whiskey is in their best interest or not? Or from the same people who often cannot even rent a car? Or people with no credit history? An entire forum of what I consider to be some of the smartest adults in the world (myself excluded lol), can't even agree on what this "debt oligation" means; and we're supposed to place this burden of understanding on people who have to raise their hand to ask to go to the bathroom?

We have controls on taking on debt for the other 99% of credit line applications, why is this one so significantly different?

An integer of the smallest denomination. For example, cents for the American dollar. And you probably would want to wrap it in a custom type to simplify displaying it properly, and maybe handle different currencies. If you language has a fixed point type that might also be appropriate, but that's pretty rare, and wouldn't work for currencies that aren't decimal (like the old british pound system).
I should be more broad. Any type of secret that needs to be sent to a user.
Not really, because I also think Amazon is illegally classifying these employees as contractors.

The burden of the proof is always on the person trying to emerge.

Both Assange and Snowden wanted to emerge to notoriety, and projected their own mind frame onto others, thinking they had some sort of royal flush, and as soon as they'd sign off and reveal the information they had , they'd have been acclaimed and an immediate rise to stardom would have ensued.

20-ish years from now the average amount of money in a retirement account ought to be in steep decline, year over year. So the good news is they won't be a very attractive target. The bad news is we're going to have a retirement crisis on top of whatever crisis 20 more years of healthcare cost increases causes (assuming we don't fix that between now and then—call it 50/50 odds, because I'm an optimist).

This is mostly a cultural issue. Being professional is being able to work with people you fundamentally disagree with from a political perspective. But maybe Google shouldn't be a space where people discuss wedge issues to begin with, or write memos about anything on the matter.
>oil companies made us use oil

They also actively lie about oil usage effects on environment, and lobby governments to not only to allow them to continue destruction, but also give them subsidies for it.
> Why is collective bargaining so weak in this industry?

I think because small companies, not workers are the actors here. If the companies themselves got together, it might be interpreted as some kind of illegal cartel. However, it's kind of interesting to consider the idea of a union of small companies (that's permitted only because they're too week vis-a-vis their customers/vendors that they can be explioted, akin to most employee/employer relationships).

Also, if you quit the business, why would keep participating in an organization that has no more relevance to you?
IBM was the entire IT industry of 1950s, 1960s, and most of 1970s. It is hard to explain IBM's dominance in today's terms. IBM used to be so dominant that the entire financial industry could not operate without their IBM mainframes and today major banks still run on IBM.

The downside (to IBM) was that Wall Street decided "never again" and fought hard to prevent another company of IBM's scale from reappearing.
You can, but for some reason it requires a Thunderbolt drive now.

Author claims evidence for effectiveness of face masks is weak, and provides citations. However, one citation states that mask use "seems to be linked to relevant protection during close contact scenarios by limiting pathogen-containing aerosol and liquid droplet dissemination."

Just the sort of scenarios children face in school.

So the choice the paper presents is between children using masks and risking elevated exposure to carbon dioxide (whose treatment is quick and simple), and not using masks and risking COVID (which may have life-long lingering non-treatable effects).

The author recommends the latter.
I'm a programmer who does hobbyist gamedev and is a big fan of blueprints despite writing in text all day, for a few reasons.

* A lot of game engine functionality is extremely helpful but not discoverable. Visual scripting languages make the full spectrum of the engine's API more easily discovered

* Games are very stateful, and I find it is much easier to conceptualize this with blueprints than with code, which is better for functional stuff

* Collapsing nodes in blueprints is much more powerful as a documentation tool than collapsable lines of code. When you collapse nodes, you can show the execution running through long text high level descriptors of what hidden blocks are doing, and without needing to create a function for that task specifically.

e.g. code might do something like

def update_target():

target = find_new_target() # set target to nearest enemy unit

attack_pattern = choose_attack_pattern() # choose next attack pattern

execute_attack() # perform attack montage and execute effects

____________________

whereas the bp would be

Set next target to nearest enemy ->
Choose next attack pattern ->
Perform attack montage and execute effects

It becomes pseudocode that is bright and on the forefront of your attention, vs. most code editors which will highlight code and lowlight comments.
No thank you...

I still can't get over how people fail to realize that arbitrary thresholds for financial reporting (initially set in 1970 at $10k[0]) haven't been adjusted for inflation. To the point where in a not so distant future, settling up funds with friends at a large dinner could in certain cases be considered "structuring"[1]. You have access to all of my credit card records, basically everything I do online, figure it out.

The fed boys have more than enough info, but of course we should trust them with it to tax the rich... Full disclosure, we should definitely tax a-holes with billions in their Roth IRA.

I agree with you this is a completely insignificant story.

But it's being spun.
Hmm... I mean, these all seem like mistakes I could make and I don't think I'm the "worst kind of coder".

The currency one I learned a while back, but it's not like I intuited using integers by default.

Value being a reserved keyword, I'm not sure I'd know that and I do Postgres work as part of my myriad duties at the startup I work at. Maybe I'd make that mistake in a migration, maybe I have already.

In a way, is it much different then what we do now as engineers? I'm hard pressed to call it much of an engineering discipline considering most teams I work on barely do design reviews before they launch in to writing code, documentation and meeting minutes are generally an afterthought, and the code review process while decent isn't perfect either and often times relies on arcane knowledge derived over months and years of wrangling with particular <framework, project, technology>.

It's pretty neat, presumably it'll learn as people correct it, and it'll get better over time. I mean it's not even version one.

I get the concerns, but I think they're a bit overblown, and this'll be really useful for people who want to learn how to code. Sure they'll run into some bugs, but, I mean, they were going to do that anyways.
I don't even think the OSI classifies AGPL as an Open Source license, does it. Open Source is Free Software, but that's because it can be relicensed to anything as long as its attribution requirements are held to. Free Software licenses are restrictive (to preserve the access of the user to the software they use.)
Yeah, Prolog is pretty cool!

Another technology I found interesting too learn is ITK (https://itk.org/). You need a different mindset using ITK than other image processing libraries.

Lisp is cool as well.

And fully homomorphic encryption.

Keeping bees is nice as well. One of the best technology invented 9,000 years ago.
I mean the theory in TFA is talking about Neantherdals evolving in Ice Age Europe but somehow that's related to the human genetic bottleneck that had to have had occurred in Africa to apply to all humans unless there's new origin of emergence and migration I didn't know about. The whole theory is bathed in a casual Eurocentrism, we don't even get a reference to a non-European creature of fantasy fitting these traits, we're just sorta assuming this is the case that they're all actually approximate.

Whatever was constitutive for human beings in the period of our dwindling numbers happened in Africa

Why? She knows the capitalism rat-race as well as you do, its just in her paycheck's interest to say these things just like you do capitalistic contributions for your paycheck.

IMO it's one of the better landing pages. It tells you exactly what they offer (email hosting with unlimited domains), and what features they support. Pricing is straightforward (with no nonsense discounts for the first N months) and one click away.

Linked article is just an opinion of some person, and I have to say I quite disagree with it:

- If I'm looking for a email hosting, I definitely know what the pain is, and I assume they will fix it by providing hosting for my emails.

- Testimonials & awards are bullshit. They don't help me determine if I want to use the service or not.

TLDR: modernizing outdated technological systems is the key to fixing this problem.
Ah, I see. My expectation I guess is charging let's just say 1 dollar per order. Or figuring out avg items per order and adding so many cents to each item.

With that extra dollar per order, drivers can be paid decently and at a safe pace. 10 deliveries in an hour is an extra 10 bucks per hour, for example. And of course they can hire more drivers to take the slack, since more people would be applying to this better paying, nicely paced job.

But perhaps my head is in the clouds.
I disagree :)

"in summary it makes it very hard to quickly identify the problem it solves and illustrate how migadu fixes it."

They don't really advertise, and it is word of mouth it seems - if you have got there, then there is a pretty good chance you know what you want, and can spend a few mins to read through and see if it fits.

I really dislike this "distil everything down because people can't spend a few minutes reading" trend, everyone seem far more interested in marketing fluff and speak, and not just taking the time to understand what they want
Using AWS supports abuse?

At least for me, I think I can't support Amazon's treatment of people. Is there a way we on HN can have an effect here, and could avoiding AWS be a start?

Or is there a better way, or am I wrong to draw such conclusions?
Political action is difficult, and takes a long time to have an effect. I can't do anything about the situation in the USA anyway.

I can boycott Amazon immediately, with only a small effort.

I encourage you to do both.
The difference is the intention.
I'm all for abstracting. I like Rails, for example. That said, it gets truly difficult to add or change stuff at the more abstract layers. For example, adding recursive querying to an existing ORM is tough. And on the rare occasion that there is a bug in the abstract layer, debugging that from the normal application code is also tough.

I understand why some corporations prefer dumb boilerplate everywhere for some applications. If there is an outage it's usually easy to fix quickly. Sometimes it's not, if it's a issue in the boilerplate (say, Feb 29 rolls around and all of the boilerplate assumed a 28 day month) that means a huge update all across the system, but that rarely happens in practice.
