I personally avoid buying on Amazon now if possible.

I still have Prime so occasionally I buy something, but the shipping is rarely 2-day anymore. I’m surprised when it actually arrives in 2 days.

Anecdotally, when browsing I often see many items that look to be exact rebranded duplicates (i.e. cheap headphones) of each other, from companies I’ve never heard of.

I’m not against a cheap and low-quality item that is good enough - they are perfect for me. But it’s been years since I trusted the reviews on Amazon, and it’s nice to have items that last and maybe create less waste. I’ve heard of counterfeit items as well, although haven’t encountered any myself. And increasingly the prices aren’t better on Amazon than elsewhere.

So many items are made in China. Not a problem outright, and not unique to Amazon or even caused by Amazon. But it’s non-obvious where an item is made. Usually there’s a Q&A where a user responds with where it’s made, but not always. I am looking for a moka pot, and it turns out the classic Bialetti moka pots are not all made in Italy but maybe certain sizes of certain models are, and it’s extremely difficult to get information on specific styles/sizes of a product with the way reviews for all styles/sizes are mushed together, especially when reviews for OLDER models are still included on product pages for new models. I opted to grab a moka pot in person at Target on my next visit since they have one in store. A while ago, I bought a nice Zojirushi rice cooker from Amazon and looked for one made in Japan. Luckily, the brand clearly stamps “Made in Japan” on the front of the machine when that is the case. It was probably a 20%(?) premium for that stamp, and I wonder if it was worth it (so far so good).

Amazon shipping is still quite fast and the Amazon return/refund policy is still great, as far as I know. I like the option to return items to Amazon through Kohls, although you can’t return all items through Kohls.

But other stores have good return policies as well. Target and Best Buy both have good shipping, store pickup, and curbside pickup options, and with easy returns in my experience. They both have a decent catalog of online only items, and good information on which stores have which products in stock.
I think developing an entire neighborhood of SFH is more expensive than developing a duplex or quad, which is what most upzoning would legalize.

If you take loan, it is also leveraged investment with some tax benefits, and lower risk: you can file for foreclosure if underwater without need to pay out of debts.
I have a two-letter github username and get tagged accidentally all the time. Also invitations to private repos.
I muted it via gmail after trying to unsubscribe.
Linking dictatorship and women rights is a smart move, a brand new kind of propoganda against China. I'd suggest armour yourself with more magical wards - why not? - China is oppressing LGBT, China is oppressing women, China is oppressing disabled, China is oppressing elderly, and China is most definitely oppressing 10 year old LGBT female cats with three legs parading for gun rights.

Geez.
Who knows. The page is down and 90% of is never got to read the article but the title sounds appealing.

Well, just position:fixed; bottom:0; your footer and make sure your scrollY - element.height or whatever has an offset to account for the footer.

Pity the site is down. Can’t read the article. It could be about conniving cheese merchants and their never ending battle for umami supremacy ffs, how should I know.
Regardless of the mass notification or a bad quality PR - you don't just remove someone from a major internet platform like this, it's an inhumane response to someone making a mistake.

Not to mention it's just a notification, who really cares unless it happens all the time which is just more of an argument to fix the platform behaviour. Some people are so high and mighty.
> SF only has one thing going for it really - weather.

This is far from an universal view - I live there (well, East Bay) and I think the weather isn't that great: too cold in summer, no nice evenings, never nice to hang out by the water. And I like cold winters as a contrast.

October to December are nicer though.
While we're doing code review, in general there's no reason to pass a shared_ptr, even by const ref, unless you need to (e.g. if you might copy the shared_ptr within the function). It's better to pass a raw pointer to indicate that the function only requires a temporary non-owning view into the data.

static int add_numbers(Data *p) {
return p->a + p->b;
}

Sorry for the late response. Just saw your comment.

First of all, I really appreciate it that you took the time to give me such valuable advice.

Regarding (1) I'm trying to come up with a more sophisticated name that is still catchy and has some kind of relationship with what the platform actually is about. All the ones I thought of were already taken by some kind of other business or organization unfortunately. Do you have any suggestions? :D

As for the email addresses, I just changed the input field to say "Enter your email..." . It already led to a signup by someone with a regular "gmail". Great advice!!!

I would love to ask you for further advice down the road of the platform's progress. Would that be something you be willing to do?
A lot of developers seem to underestimate how fast well-written software can process things...
My father got scammed in much the same way years ago, bought an iPhone, WiFi worked but not the cellular radio, eBay sided with the seller.

Because Amazon's so bad as everyone is detailing here I have started buying much less expensive stuff on eBay where I'd only buy it on Amazon from a 3rd party seller that ships direct, things like books and CDs. Have had uniformly good experiences without paying as much to pass through to Amazon vs. eBay.
Looking at the content of the OP and the PRs you linked, my first thought is "Is it Hacktoberfest[1] already?". I mean, seriously, what's up with the such low quality PRs? Is it common to have people spamming repos with trivial changes absent some sort of incentive?

No wonder Ukrainians are so anti-Russia now. During this invasion, they and all their infrastructure have been made cannon fodder for Putin's ego. If they capitulate, they will be conscripted to be cannon fodder for Putin's ego again.

This is the grim destiny of those who submit to Putin's self-styled resurgent Russian Empire.
I am waiting to see swarm drone attacks. Has anyone tried it yet? I think the money bracket is just right for this kind of experiment. 38k for one manpad missile (check). cheap disposable long range heavy lifting drone<approx 50k??> (check). Software onboard to support swarming (check). So say a million for a swarm of 10?? 10 synchronized explosions would make a sizeable hole in the ground right?? Seems the problem would be stealth and anti-jamming tech.
my outlook 365 (or whatever it's called this week) at work can barely handle moving 100 without locking up
> The first major cause of unintended acceleration was found in March 2007, when an engineering analysis showed that unsecured all-weather mats had led to pedal entrapment and drivers accelerating up to 90 mph with decreased braking power...

That doesn't doesn't really align with all the people who were 100% sure they were stomping on the brake and the car was accelerating.

I think a very large portion of their "guilt" was due to being a non-Detroit/American company at a time when those companies where hurting. Everyone just loved to pile on with no evidence at all.

The exact same thing played out with the Audi 5000 in the 80's -- people hit the wrong pedal and lie. Until this issue is fixed, I would continue to suspect that first.
Is there a non-snarky explanation why Cruise achieved this but Tesla didn't get approval for FSD in SF?

I'm up to about 156 replies between two emails now. My phone and smart watch were buzzing like crazy earlier for each notification.
I don't think the probability of making 2.5m from a single startup is very high.
That's where it ended.
they're the one that locked the issue
I had this happen at my job maybe six months ago? It was surreal because I'm young enough that I knew the trope from TV shows and stuff from the late 90s/early 2000s of people not knowing when to use "reply" instead of "reply all" but never actually had to deal with it by the time I grew up and starting working.

The only thing more amusing than all of the people replying asking to be taken off the list is all the people who reply to tell everyone else to stop replying, as if that would solve the problem instead of making it worse.
I was on the receiving end of this. The notifications continued to pour in for another few minutes after I unsubscribed from the thread, totaling 104 by the time the madness stopped.
I don't know what this says, but the English words that stand out remind me of a quote from the original Hitch Hikers, somewhat of a paraphrase of Orwell's Lesson of Newspeak: "The best way not to be unhappy, is not to have a word for it".
Should read "Don't place footers below infinite scroll." I appreciate the brevity but this fails to notice the nuance, and ends up being too reductive to be useful advice. Footers can work just fine combined with infinite scroll, eg. https://radiopaper.com/explore on desktop (disclosure, I am one of the authors).

That said, paying attention to how UX/features interact is something we should always strive to do more of!
Wow I already file and pay US taxes despite living there so was familiar with FATCa but dam might have to go Wyoming
The PR is undeniably silly, but it's totally plausible that some people just have bad ideas and not bad intent.

The situation doesn't need any more escalation beyond fixing the underlying vector for spam.
The problem is when the definition of "crime" changes.

Is crime in Saudi Arabia anything that MBS doesn't like?

In the 30s and 40s in Germany, just being Jewish was a crime.

Whether you need modern or historical references, the problem is the same.
Looks like Hacktoberfest PRs
Agreed. This question is a superpower. Not just 'the result of this test', this applies to all kinds of questions.

It's also relevant when people ask for ill-specified 'dashboards', or 'reports'.

Will what we do change substantially based on what we see on these dashboards? If not, why make them? And if so... can we just automate that behavior so we don't have to rely on someone noticing the dashboard?
>There will be not more than 1 reference to the object at any time.

Untrue:

auto x = std::make_unique<int>(5);
auto& y = *x; // There are now two mutable references to the object represented by x.

>That's a zero-overhead GC that is enforced at compile time.

It's not zero overhead unfortunately. Because unique_ptr is not trivially movable or trivially destructible, there are numerous optimizations that every current C++ compiler does not perform, for example being able to pass a unique_ptr in a register.

unique_ptr is reasonable given C++'s limitations, but it doesn't come close to being as good as Rust's Box, which is genuinely zero overhead and also guarantees that there's only 1 mutable reference to the object at any given time.
Aren't things like the poleo vaccine or penicillin that? We could let the universe do its will, or fight against it.

The same could be said for ants building rafts to survive a flood. That seems like life fighting against entropy to survive to me.
It depends on where you live. In the LA area I can get same day shipping. Some items I can get rushed same night.
Yeah I wondered about lateral stability.

I do not have a lot of experience of rough seas, but I did the crossing from the Antarctic peninsula to southern Argentina going through the drake passage and holy fuck it was rough, but not just up and down but also huge rolling left and right.

It seems like a traditional bow and hull shape would resist rolling (more buoyancy the further over you go) but this design has less?
Sending email notifications to 400,000 users for unimportant things is antisocial. (If 0.1% of those users then reply on the thread, it'd be another 400 comments sent to all 400,000 recipients).

I don't think anyone sits down and thinks the intentional behaviour should be "we should make it easy for someone to send a notification email to 400,000 people". That would clearly be annoying.

I think the behaviour is accidental, arising from "notifying all people in a team is useful".
Make supplying rental units illegal? Your "solution" involves evicting half the stage of California.
Is there a warning when someone @ a huge number of users?

Actually if one is never supposed to send notification to a large group, what's the point of creating such a group? I assume that maybe there is some admin value but then again the admin will trigger a notification storm, no?
More than a few providers have a free tier, including AWS.

But there is no cloud server that is cheaper than no cloud server -- like proxmox on your own hardware.
And Apple in 1991 [1]. It's a very fun story actually, good read if you're in the business of writing "reliable" or "recoverable" software (aka pretty much everyone). A bad design choice in sendmail caused a cascading explosion of emails. I also highly recommend reading the rest of the book (?), the Unix Hater's Handbook is a wonderful bit of history and discussion of the design issues of the NIXs we all know and love/hate today.

How did you quantify "less"? Low Fed rate made mortgage body 60-70% cheaper, hence prices are higher.

Yes, based on this the author clearly removed the license because they wanted to prevent modifications, so the article title is incorrect.

They unfortunately also couldn't be bothered to actually state this clearly (and they deleted this issue!), so they are causing unnecessary confusion.
It's best to pass a reference to specify that the argument shall not be null. Also avoid writing static functions in C++, make use of anonymous namespaces.

}
I am @3x and I get ~10 notifications a day of people mentioning me in PRs and issues. Whenever anyone writes the name of a file containing `@3x`, which is commonly used for hi-res assets, I get a notification. I quickly learned to turn off email notifications!

- Press brake much harder.

- Car lurches forward.

- Realize you are pressing the wrong pedal.

100% if a person can satisfy those things in a more stable company that is absolutely what they should do. No doubt, and I'd say it over 100 times.

For those that can't find those things at a large established company, I would recommend tp others, and have chosen startupsyself at times in my career.
It's first come, first served, so you have to note who is already there when you pull up. If two cars arrive at the same time, you yield to the car on your right. Most of the time it works fairly well. If a car goes out of turn because they weren't paying attention, it's usually just a minor annoyance.

I agree, roundabouts are better.
Seems like an innocent enough mistake. Remind me of when I once helped organize a volunteer hackathon with people from different companies. We created a Slack organization just for the occasion. At the end of the event, I was supposed to ask all attendees to delete all the data we had given them before they went home. The message I posted to #general (the channel everyone in a Slack organization is required to be in) with @everyone tagged was something to the effect of:

"Thank you everyone for contributing to our shared mission. When you are done with your work today, please delete all the data from your machines. Hope we see each other again soon!"

Slack gave me a dire warning that my message would send notifications to so many people across so many time zones. This didn't surprise me because attendees came from various countries for the event. So I dismissed it.

But I had accidentally sent it to my company's Slack organization instead of the hackathon-specific one. I didn't realize it until a co-worker sent me a private message asking why I had just tried to fire everyone at our company.
Well their (CCP's) compulsion is entirely irrelevant to whatever arguments they're pushing.

I empathize with that kid - his intentions were probably good but I'm pretty sure he didn't know this would have sent email notifications. Even if he had known, kid wouldn't have known that it is a bad bad thing. :D

Kid probably was creating a PR to brag tomorrow in school!
The thing that gets me, as discussed in this thread, is that the solution is often just super easy. Literally just pop up a modal when the recipient list is above 1,000 users that says “You’re about to send this to X,000 users, Are You Sure?”

Would have totally avoided this situation.
The rule for four-way stops is simple: Right-of-way is established in order of arrival at the intersection. First to arrive at the stop sign can go first, followed by the second, etc.

Not everybody follows the rule, and technically they're breaking traffic laws by doing so.

And you're right. I prefer roundabouts too, they're objectively safer. Massachusetts has a fair few roundabouts, but other parts of the country seem to abhor them.
probably for resume?

This article seems to have been digitized with OCR. I've found several glitches: Smalltalk-8O, 'dis play', and other mistakes caused by OCR that should have been caught by a spelling check. Issues with quotes are apparent throughout the article: quotes ending with `“` instead of `”` (see the first paragraph) spaces between single and double quotes (`“ ‘` and `’ ”`) make lines starting with quotes look odd and leave a lines with just a double quote on it at the end of a paragraph (the second paragraph ends with a `”` on it's own line)

I also found this quite interesting:

> One innovative use for the network had nothing to do with people sending messages to one another; it involved communication solely between machines. Because the dynamic memory chips were so unreliable in those days, the Alto also ran a memory check when it wasn’t doing anything else. Its response to finding a bad chip was remarkable: “It would send a message telling which Alto was bad, which slot had the bad board, and which row and column had the bad chips,” Thornburg said. “The reason I found out about this was that one day the repairman showed up and said, ‘Any time you’re ready to power down, I need to fix your Alto,’ and I didn’t even know anything was wrong.”

> What really matters to people are monthly payments relative to paycheck.

I hear this repeated often, fail to see how it's true. Let's say I'm 50, just starting a 30 year mortgage. Monthly payments relative to paycheck? Sure that's important. So is the fact that I'll have to be paying until I'm 80..?

If it's possible for somebody to unintentionally piss off hundreds of thousands of people, that's not the person's fault. It's the system's. The internet allows proliferation of information at scale and speeds that can be disasterous if left unchecked
I'll quote myself:

> How is it not easy to check a reputation database for domains when evaluating a mail server?

The point I'm making in this thread is that they have the ability to maintain a database of domains that have been proven to be trustworthy. I am not talking about a database of IP addresses, and I am not sure why that is being raised here.

Anytime someone talks about how xx "isn't backed by anything, like gold" I know they haven't actually put in a modicum of intellectual work on the topic.

But nope.
