This is basically what I was going to say. The article spends a lot of time arguing that TOCTOU patterns introduce security vulnerabilities, which I think all programmers (should!) already know but then comes to the weird conclusion that we'd just be better off without symlinks instead of designing an API to work with them atomically.

Kinda reminds me of how a lot of UX changes happen: "This really popular feature is a bit kludgy and hard to maintain, let's just rewrite the whole app without it! (Instead of doing the work required to make it not suck.)"
You're right. But it is interesting to ask the question, what is the use case? Starlink is the only commercial customer that can plausibly use a significant fraction of Starship's capabilities right now. NASA moon missions are the only government customer so far. The government may start work on new programs that can use Starship's capabilities (e.g. fleets of bigger but cheaper space telescopes or interplanetary probes), but they haven't started yet and it will take decades for them to get going at their normal rates of progress. Elon wants to build a city on Mars but that isn't going to produce revenue for the foreseeable future and I don't think he can fund it personally despite being the richest person on Earth.

Can Starlink and NASA moon missions alone pay back the cost of the Starship program? Will new commercial use cases be unlocked by Starship? Will the government commit to new programs that use Starship's unique capabilities? What will they be and how soon can they start producing revenue for SpaceX?
Tramadol is the opiate itself, it does not have paracetamol. There are other brand pills that contain both.

Paracetamol does not contain an opiate. It is a different substance from opiates. It is, however, dangerous to the liver in large amounts.

Isn't that because calories aren't really directly relevant to how people shop for food or consume it? I can't just replace a hamburger with 10x that amount of grain, or even 1/10th of that amount of grains and get the same nutritional values. For the most part, feed grain for cattle isn't even grains that most humans would eat without plenty of calories of processing by other humans put into it.

In general, I feel like you're conflating "modern" with "luxury" in a way that doesn't feel reasonable. Just because we haven't being doing something for long, or that it requires effort/inefficiencies doesn't mean it's innately "luxurious". Certainly not everything modern is good, but almost everything about food even in non-western countries is calorie inefficient and relatively modern as we invented new ways to cook and farm, and spices and cooking methods became more diverse.
Think of the children! They need encryption to protect them! Without encryption they are more vulnerable to hackers who can groom them and exploit them. Without encryption they are not able to safely communicate with authorities if they are in danger. Without encryption abusive adults can watch their every move, every word, and every action. Without encryption mistakes, as children are prone to, can lead to disastrous consequences. Our children are dumb and likely to send nudes over snapchat or facebook. Without encryption those images are intercepted by those companies and can be sold on the black market or those companies can similarly be hacked. With encryption the damage can be reduced and we'd know who leaked said photos, allowing authorities to follow up. Even worse, how can we protect our children from those in government that would exploit them? So won't you think of the children? They need encryption.

I don't feel pushed to dislike him for his success, I think the way he leverages his unmatched popularity and global reach to manipulate markets (whether pumping bit/dogecoin or promising FSD by a date) is not in line with the standard of excellence he has otherwise delivered with Tesla and SpaceX. It smacks of either a disdain for investors or a desire to attain even more wealth (or both), neither of which is is particularly flattering. That's really my primary complaint.

He shouldn't be let off the hook for allegations of racism at his firms either, but that's between claimants and him, nothing to do with me.

The risk of spread from weakened virus is completely eliminated under a proper vaccination program. You go into a community, vaccinate everyone, and you have zero risk.

The fact the patient was unvaccinated was effectively their "immunocompromise" that allowed the virus to spread to them.
Amazon employees have a "perk" of a 10% off multi-use coupon, up to $1000. It applies to anything whose seller is Amazon (sold by amazon.com).

In the last few years it's been extremely difficult to make full use of the "perk", simply because there aren't a lot of things that are sold by amazon.com anymore.

Great summary, and benefits for the financial system.
The problem I’m having in Germany ist that only Amazon reliable delivers to my door, usually next day.

Every other store ships with DHL, which after several days pretends that they ring you, when they don’t, and then u can go pick it up at the DHL store a day later.

That’s their moat.
I guarantee you he did not forget, just did not mention them. Assuming you are familiar with OPs previous comments.
Polio is not solved. You need to learn more about it if you think that.

There is currently an epidemic of vaccine derived polio (of which this is a case). We do not have a solution for this.

I could write several pages of how Polio eradication is failed because of subtype 2, but maybe you could just read for yourself.

Start here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polio_eradication#2022 and see how man countries are being infected with cVDPV which is caused by vaccination!

Then scroll up and see how it's page after page after page of vaccine derived Polio.

There's currently a huge problems: Subtype 2 doesn't exist in the wild, so normally you would not vaccinate for it. But if you don't vaccinate for it than vaccine derived subtype 2 takes hold - but if you do vaccinate for it, then you create cases of vaccine derived polio!

So how do you solve that?

I mean, this was part of the original value proposition of Airbnb. It's right there in the name: They were trying to replicate some of the personalized experience you get from staying at a bed and breakfast. B&B's definitely aren't for everyone—you get a little less privacy and personal space. But in return you get to interact with someone new and feel a little more embedded in the local culture.
The ending is rather unexpected:

> despite all of this, i still mostly love Amazon as a customer. it played a big role in getting my e-commerce business off of the ground and i'm grateful for that.

And 50 years later people are still recovering. It's beyond disgusting what is happening in Ukraine right now.
> Man if this isn't the dead-on honest truth. Amazon is so garbage now that Walmart.com is a trusted supplier by comparison.

I would have agreed with this sentiment six months ago, but now Walmart allows third-party sellers. I could consolidate to "At least BRICK-AND-MORTAR Walmart stores should have reliable products", but physical Walmart seems to have gotten in bed with this Chinese brand "onn." Their products are absolute garbage, and they seem to have jettisoned everything else from their store. I've had to tell my parents to please stop buying any electronics stuff from Wal-Mart and go to a Target or something when their iPhone cable breaks so that they can at least get a proper Anker cable.

It's really tiring how much time I have to spend protecting my family from junk products these days.
Many features in LibreOffice suffered a major regression - see e.g. math equation editor that is just unusable as the discoverability of math operators and symbols was thrown out of the window. The most annoying problem of OO being very slow in comparison to MS Office stayed with LibreOffice as well.
They’re not going to be launching the whole rocket, just the second stage (Starship) for hops between cities. Also, even if they land say 20-30 km outside of the city limits and then transfer by train/hyperloop that’s still way faster than a plane, even the Concorde.
I'm probably an outlier. I read around 15 technical books per year. I read them because I enjoy their content: beautiful books like SICP, TAOCP, Stevens' books, etc.; I can recommend them to anyone. There are plenty of tech books out there that are awfully boring though (I don't read those). Funny enough, people usually say that books like the former (the beautiful ones, the timeless ones) don't help you on your current job... Well, I couldn't care less. I don't read sci-fi to gather knowledge either. I read for fun, and this applies to tech books as well.

(I believe that timeless tech books do help you, though. They help you with your career, not with your (current) job).
> reality does not exist until it is measured

It's a weird way to explain the result of the experiment. The experiment is some variant of the ERP paradox and the result is that the polarization of a pair of entangled photons is not defined until it's measured, that is well known since many years. They use two properties of the photons (for some strange game for technical reasons?), but the result is not more surprising that the usual Bell inequality experiment.

It just means that polarization of a pair of entangled photons is not defined until it's measured, not that reality exists or not.
I guess we buy different things. Mine tends to run out pretty early in the year.
> On the downside, it elevated the temperature of the backside aluminum to a high enough temperature to be able to cause burns (something like 80-90C).

as this will raise the overall operating temperature of the laptop's battery which is located adjacent in the chassis, I would consider this to be a very bad idea if you value:

a) longevity and cycle life of the battery

b) battery lifespan/runtime

c) lower likelihood of the battery catching on fire and going into thermal runaway on your lap or desk.

d) lower likelihood of the battery swelling up into something that looks like a pillow

there are very likely a number of solid reasons why the apple design engineers chose not to allow it to get this hot.

very solid physics/thermodynamics based science says that the hotter you run a lithium ion or similar battery, and for any extended periods of time, the more dangerous it is, and the worse it will be for the battery's overall lifespan and cycle depth/cycle life.

> what's the root cause of all of this?

> Amazon courting overseas manufacturers and sellers at all costs.

Why though? How does it benefit Amazon to have endless, no-name, bad quality listings? It makes the consumer experience awful & dangerous, not to mention the continued lowering trust in the marketplace.

As others have mentioned, it's often better to go to Target/Walmart/Costco/etc to buy from a reputable supply chain (instead of risking getting counterfeit goods from Amazon).

Amazon excels on shipping speed (logistics), but why bother when it's mostly garbage that sometimes gets returned?
Thanks, prefer the web UI though.

I find it more and more difficult to return items to stores in the US because they keep their returns deparments so short-staffed. Home Depot and Target are 2 places where I have stood in line for 45min to 1hr just to return something.

While I admire their effort to do all the clouds, I would expect the actual code overlap between emulating the AWS APIs and Azure APIs would be infinitesimal and would likely benefit from a separate localstack-azure project

Or, actually, put another way: since localstack stood on the shoulders of the absolutely incredible moto library, I would find out if there is an equivalent for Azure and start there

Could be the reason. I also found that one can setup a minimum resolution in the app but not on web.
Briggs-Torczon sets of small integers (0 <= x < N) deserve to be better known.

(Set up two N-element arrays "member" and "index" of ints and an elementCount; set elementCount to zero. You don't have to initialize the arrays if you can live with some valgrind grumbling. The leading "elementCount" entries in "member" are the current members of the set, unordered, and for each of those values x, index[x] is its index in "members".

Then isInSet(x) = index[x] >= 0 && index[x] < elementCount && member[index[x]] == x
and addToSet(x) = isInSet(x) || (member[index[x] = elementCount++] = x)

and rmFromSet() is left as an exercise.)
I at first read "errno" as "emo" and was trying to picture what that would look like.

Imagine if Amazon dedicated some human effort and time to curate their catalog and reviews instead of their legion of engineers trying to automate the solution and continually failing. Hire a bunch of college interns every semester and they'd have this problem solved.

Not that it wasn't possible before, but quick-deploy Slack bot opens the gates for spam upvoting/downvoting either from the employees or serves as an easy tool for marketers to spam replies about specific topics.

I think I understand why you're confused here. To the extent that union-find is similar to SAT, it's similar to 2-SAT: the constraints you're reasoning about are defined only on pairs of elements, whereas 3-SAT is fundamentally reasoning about triplets (at least one of these three variables is true). Notably, 2-SAT is a variant of SAT that is polynomial in time, unlike 3-SAT.
If every PR you put up is "likely" to contain a bug, you're doing it wrong.

I‘m pretty sure Matthew 5:38 was written before the advent of corporations, much less the completely deregulated capitalism of 2022 corporate America.

So if you insist applying 2 millenia old wisdoms to your everyday life, consider adding some Matthew 7:12 as well and sue them if they would have sued you in the same situation.
Yeah I wish he had elaborated on that point. What are they doing to court those sellers and most importantly, why? Surely they know that their reputation is going down the tubes. Are they just so dominant now that they don't care?

You've never vacationed somewhere that isn't a city? There are loads of worthy vacation spots in the US where there are either no convenient hotels, or they are very limited and fully booked months in advance. Usually because the visitors are highly seasonal and there's no reason to visit aside from that seasonal attraction.

Once you grok duality, you can hold two opposing worldviews in your head at the same time. Many people are always shocked when I pivot to the opposite of what I just said, and expect me to be embarrassed. The thing about worldviews is that they’re malleable and context specific.

4) Technically, only for a few apps. And it supports Android's media APIs better than Apple's. But they're there. This is probably the weakest supported of your requirements.
5) Admirably.

My experience is the opposite - at least with HD. I come in, wait 5 minutes max, and return my item and the money is back on my card within the day. Never had a hassle either returning even more expensive, even custom-fit orders (window blinds).

I have a very optimized octree, but one thing I can not use it for is points in space. Mine is built with the assumptions that every object has a finite size, which is used to determine what level of the tree it lives in. Points fail because they have zero size.

I'm still looking for a good spatial index for points. I'll think about yours.

This seems like such low-hanging fruit, though. It wouldn't take very much at all - just a single extra NFC chip, and some code to allow the chip to run at full TDP while plugged in + on an approved cooling pad.

The benefits are HUGE - plenty of people want small laptops that they can use on the go, but most laptops spend most of their time docked.
It's a shame how Amazon is bloated of Chinese off-brand products with mediocre quality. Some of them are simply products from AliExpress, DealExtreme, or similar Chinese websites but sold more expensive.
