I fail to understand what's so "revolutionary" in "buying cheap stuff from China for resale online," and being more cost conscious than others at that?

Most 3rd party merchants on Amazon still ship by regular post, generously subsidised by US taxpayers.

Some of them ship by Sunyou. Sunyou just airships everything to US, and then sends by bulk post at commercial rates from there.

The few merchants using "fulfilment by Amazon" still have to get their stuff to USA on their own. Global supply chain service is only available to sellers selling to Amazon itself.

That Stratechery guy barely understands about what he is writing about.
So, after actually reading the article, it's not clear what Amazon are actually doing in this area, the article seems a bit stretched, linking the vague idea that Amazon is investing heavily in supply logistics to the recent pandemic related supply chain issues.

My point was a more general one, that this claim of someone 'beating' or 'bypassing' a problem can, in many common cases, actually just be foisting the problem onto others and/or their future self. Beating a vaccine shortage by buying up stocks of the vaccine is a solution from one angle, but a problem from another.

And it's become fairly mainstream thought that traffic jams are emergent properties of traffic rather than individual problems (e.g. the viral video of the cars going in a circle and causing jams that pass backwards like a wave via mismatched breaking/acceleration). The tone of recent coverage of the supply chain stuff on HN from people with some inside knolwedge reminds me more of traffic engineering, than a stupid bus driver causing trouble.
It doesn't prevent that directly. What it does is allow proprietary forks, and those proprietary forks prevent that.
OP mentioned that they are a paid YouTube member, so they do pay monthly for the service.
Well, taking the actual differences aside as all platforms have their own pros/cons. Once the platform has been chosen for whatever reasons. The question is, do other cloud engineers tend to simply try helping out and resolve the problem or just throw comments about one or the other being better.

I understand the arguments at design level where the task is to choose the right platform for the job.

What I'm seeing is that AWS engineers tend to have that "AWS is the best of the best of the best SIR" attitude like we've seen in one of the scenes of Men in Black.
> doesn't work in all cases (older browsers, NoScript..)

And that is fine. Even if old browsers and noscript were supported, it's usually a small percentage.

> kind of sites doing metrics gathering are the worst offenders in terms of performance.

You have a point. I have a feeling it's an org problem, bloated org builds bloated products, but struggle to articulate it further.

> setup a test VM with 512MB RAM, 1s artificial latency and 20% packet loss.

A synthetic approach will get you a long way already. Though I would like to see it as part of the CI/CD pipeline. Testing perf has to be passive and continuous or it's useless.
They hope you'll be an idiot. That's no reflection on you, just to be clear. It's more hoping that you'll be distracted or just have some sort of brain fart despite being intelligent most of the time. After all, it costs them nothing to try, so why not? It's kind of the same rationale as that car-warranty spam. It doesn't have to work often to become habit.
What type of wipes?
There is nothing new about the vaccine in this report. Only a change in the labeling in Japan. Frankly, even for the Japanese this is not that interesting of a development, let alone internationally.

It's called the (Eric) Holder doctrine:

> That sentiment was echoed as late as 2012 by Lanny Breuer, then the head of the Justice Department’s criminal division, who said in a speech at the New York City Bar Association that he felt it was his duty to consider the health of the company, the industry, and the markets in deciding whether or not to file charges.

There's nothing magical about non-profits that would fix any of these problems.
>One day someone else will push Amazon out.

The question is, "at what cost in the intervening time?"

We've also not seen the combination of scale, network effects and technological capability that's available to companies like Amazon today, making monopoly power even more potent. It's not 100% clear that the potential for their displacement is remotely as viable as has historically been the case for companies.
Why the past tense? Unfortunely in several places across the globe they quite present in modern times.
Well my point is it's nothing to do with 'physical cash' or 'blockchain currency', it's an external effect which could be applied to whatever. Sure less so with something decentralised (again nothing to do with the medium really) - but you can still have positive (as in >0) inflation without someone setting inflation targets and having an 'iron grip' with which to mostly achieve them.
Zig is growing fast, and the dev team should feel proud of what they're building. I think it's great to see metrics like this because they demonstrate an attention to detail that will be necessary for Zig's success.

Metrics help ensure that Zig will stay high-performance as it moves to its self-hosted compiler, which is underway right now.
"Well, I guess child labor did in the short term sense."

It's still working, in the global south, to make products shipped and sold all around the global north... but those of us in the north just don't see it; we no longer see children shuffling off to work, because, thanks to Capitalism's profit-over-people ideals, the labor force that has "disgusted" the consumers in the north (child labor) (and therefore properly threatened the profit of those companies using child labor) has been moved to the south... and those consumers in the north don't really "care" that a bunch of brown and asian children are doing the work now.

He did say that the most notable thing about the work was the license, which effectively dismisses the technical work as not notable.

Balanced budget, Americans should be judged as individuals, and drug use is an epidemic. Literally hitler by today's standards. Now we want more spending, it’s fashionable to judge by skin color and gender or impute motives, and drugs are just fine mmmkay.
Mom and pop shops, brick and mortar in general, have largely gone the way of horse drawn carriages. Technology has made them obsolete. There are definitely problems with mega corporations taking over, but Walmart and Amazon are filing in niches in a technological ecosystem where real world small shops aren't viable, and that's a good thing for consumers.

Whatever the solution ends up being, it won't involve the return of brick and mortar - online shopping and Amazon style logistics are here to stay. Breaking up Amazon so that the shipping and warehouse part of the business gets spun off on its own might make sense, with established shipping companies able to compete.

Luddism never works - you can't eliminate automation and do things less efficiently just to arbitrarily provide work for people.
This strategy does not work for somebody trying to publish and monetize content.
>Perfect example of unclear formulated goal of the project

That was exactly my point.

>And if you now accept that any of those above goals may be changed into another during project runtime, you understood why waterfall is not often the best idea.

I think you missed the entire idea of my comment. There is no sense in accepting that those goals will change and trying to start a project that aims to achieve one of them. They are too ambitious and broad in scope and need to be broken into smaller pieces (see Apollo program or SpaceX roadmap - both are focusing first on smaller objectives, that will clarify the next steps).
healthy competition breeds innovation but an oligopoly decimates both sides of the supply and demand curve of a market. We're trying to determine if amazon has crossed that line. It is much more political then it is made out to be and concept of fairness only gets enforced when there is enough agitation in the masses in a democracy. In other words, amazon is not going anywhere any time soon.
They were serving a lot of customers from outside the city who would occasionally visit to trade and shop.

You're getting hammered about the market competition being good for consumers. But even on the labor side, these two aren't the same: Walmart minimum wage is $12 / hour, Amazon just went up to $18.

Conversely, the "that's a market" folks should deep read the article's last bit on how hard it is to be an "Anti Amazon Alliance" e-tailer. Amazon is piling up previously uncorrelated strategic advantages, so that you have to be an expert in way too many things for a small company to compete.

- demand sourcing

- warehousing

- last mile logistics

- defect management

- now, freight forwarding

I think their innovation in these areas is amazing and will some day benefit everyone, but it will eventually take a new type of antitrust (which recognizes cross-leveraging monopolies for efficiency) to keep Amazon from retaining all of the value generated.
Pinata: Manage Video and Files on IPFS
> Rusts std lib indeed cannot stat .

But the kernel can! I mean, stat() isn't a standard library function, it's a system call with (reasonably) well-defined semantics. And "." is a valid path, which returns a valid struct stat block representing a guaranteed-valid (cwd is always live; you're always "somewhere" even if the filesystem has removed the directory) directory.

Coming at this from the perspective of "translate . into the coreutils meaning" is almost certainly the wrong way to think about it. It's rust that has the broken picture of the filesystem environment, coreutils is just doing unix.

The OP states that it was a requirement of attending something they went to.
My optometrist suggested that about every 20-30 minutes or so I should try and pick out something on the horizon or at least several yards away and focus my eyes on it.

Sitting so close to the screen it makes sense, and the “stretch” you feel when focusing on something close and then far away has really decreased my eye strain.
Does github still use Rails in a sort of monolith? I like examples of "monoliths" in the wild that gasp scale as well / better than dozens of microservices painfully working together just to show me a metrics dashboard. Dont get me wrong, not against microservices, it's just that more often than not such architectures have brought more pain than good in my career. I will most of the time gladly trade the overhead of maintaining/managing microservice-glue-infrastructure for a large modular monolith.
> something the rest of the industry has considered very good.

That's a ... very optimistic view of the rest of the industry. You see attitudes similar to those you cite in many places.

That said, testing for games is a very interesting topic indeed. From what I gather, it's easy to build tests that are not very effective, and a lot of work to test non-trivial things. Combine that with the kind of iteration and likely less fixed specs in gaming makes many people think it's not worth it.
I think you are highly underestimating how much science and math comes mainly from advanced pattern matching.

Most stuff is proven by using advanced pattern matching as "intuition", and then breaking problems down into things we can pattern match and prove.

I'm not sure what conceptual understanding you think isn't pattern matching. They are just rules about patterns and interactions of patterns. These rules were developed through pattern matching.
If you're just using Linux on your own servers, or writing userland software for it, then sure, the GPL is easy to comply with. But if you distribute hardware with Linux preinstalled on it, then you do have to provide all the source code. How is this meaningfully different from basic userland tools?
If you have literal gold bars, they are almost certainly in an insured facility; actual risk to you, the owner of the gold bars, is limited.

> 3 sets of 20 6 days a week

Why on earth would you do hypertrophy sets for a body part that clearly benefits more from pure max strength training? Lower those numbers to 5 sets of 3-5 reps at max intensity, and recover for at least 48 hours. At 6 days a week, you're pretty much begging for an injury.

My recollection is that running Windows’ servers was generally and all or nothing thing. Either you were a Windows’ shop that hired all Windows’ people and had a hefty annual contract with MSFT or you’d never consider MSSql.
In short - use eyes in as wide range as possible.

If working with screens a lot, I first make sure they are properly balanced (brightness/contrast/color) for the ambient light, so eyes don't receive too much energy off the screen.

Then distance it, preferrably farther than arm length, with something visible behind the monitor (not just a wall of screen). This way I can direct eyes farther away to relax.

Also good quality sleep, which at times is very much a non-trivial task.

Ah, the most critical, and both hardest and easiest task - taking breaks to give eyes and mind some rest. Advice that all parents give to kids, yet often fail to follow themselves...

Show HN: A place for feedback on PCB designs
Going from a large corporate environment with strict design reviews, to the only hardware adept person on my small team I was really missing some sort of feedback on some of my (open source) designs. Reddit.com/r/printedcircuitboards roughly serves as this, but I thought it could be fun to spin up something purpose built.

The hope is to build a nice environment to get some fresh eyes on a new PCB design before you wait 2-3 weeks to get your PCBs built. The schematic gets shown in a PDF viewer and any uploaded Gerber files are converted to SVG and displayed for reference.

Long term, I would love to see if this can grow into a repository of open source hardware that could easily be indexed and referenced for inspiration.

Obviously, please don't post any IP protected designs here.

Because by rejecting work from people who've seen the leaked code, you can be sure that your project doesn't become a derived work. That doesn't imply the reverse; that if you accept code from people who've looked, your project must be derived a work.

I would agree that politicians did try to handicap USPS probably to benefit UPS/FedEx. I would also say every entity, government or non government, should be required to fund future promises today, otherwise it should be listed as debt on the balance sheet.

Deferred compensation is used too easily to shift costs from today into the future and keep those costs off the books, either by not accounting for them at all or undervaluing them.
This is an interesting point. In the early days of my own journey into writing tests, I did take note that much of the content I was consuming was created by the Ruby community. In fact, one of my favorite speakers to listen to Sandi Metz comes from the Ruby community.

The community adoption of practices does seem key. If there is a culture in C/C++ where tests aren’t really a practice, that would partially explain the phenomena I observe.

And I mean, it's true for a lot of places. When I lived in France and there was some riot, my american friends called me asking how I was, afraid for my life because of the CNN loop, and now that I live in HK, I have german friends, tourists not even residents, who send to american frigging senators worried email asking to sanction our oppressors because of the same kind of news loop.

China over reacted and is not doing the right thing ... yet. It's not finished, the Earth is still rotating, it's still our country too, we'll find another way to express our discontent. What doesn't help is the news loop constantly exciting the debate to irrationality.

https://martinfowler.com/articles/agile-aus-2018.html

Our challenge at the moment isn't making agile a thing that people want to do, it's dealing with what I call faux-agile: agile that's just the name, but none of the practices and values in place. Ron Jeffries often refers to it as "Dark Agile", or specifically "Dark Scrum". This is actually even worse than just pretending to do agile, it's actively using the name "agile" against the basic principles of what we were trying to do, when we talked about doing this kind of work in the late 90s and at Snowbird.
This looks very useful for newsletters, but what I'm seeking is a tool that lets you create a live segment of users and send a message to them when they enter the segment. So - transactional product emails, rather than newsletters.
Quite frankly, now that YouTube has built its media ecosystem, they have an incentive to marginalize the long tail. The big channels (or rather, their distribution companies) have dedicated account managers who can clear this kind of stuff up. Big channels are easier to manage from a platform perspective since there’s someone you can call to clear up any issues (who you already have a contractual relationship with), so you don’t need to trust an unaccountable algorithm.

If you’re not a YouTube partner? You’re collateral damage that is baked into the design and considered acceptable by YouTube. Your value as an independent content creator is very low to them. The effort required to moderate independent creators is significantly higher than it is to moderate managed partners on a per-view basis. It’s a lot of work for small dollar amounts.

This is a pretty common situation we’ve seen play out over the last century. When a new media paradigm is established, there’s a land rush. But once the initial land rush is over, the industry regulates itself and consolidates for efficiency. The new media landscape eventually becomes the very thing they displaced. Ever wonder why YouTube has as many ads as broadcast TV these days?
