Both are. Legally I believe Amazon is allowed to discriminate against competitors products as long as they're not a monopoly or using their dominant position in the "online-store market" to squash competition in the "online video-market". I'm not sure of the exact definition, but in the EU at least Google has gotten in hot-waters before over something similar.

Generally speaking, you are being anticompetitive if you're strong-arming the competition out of the market as opposed to challenging them based on the relative quality of your product. But at what point exactly it becomes illegal I wouldn't know.

What is "addthis" anyway? I always wondered if the domain was targeted at NoScript users. It's telling me to add it -- maybe I should whitelist it!
It was proably not published in a "propper" way, so it's ok. There are bizare idears who is the first to publish something, for example that pre-print don't count, because ... well I don't know.
The pretty-printed version of the spec is here: https://github.com/lorin/tla-boat/blob/master/boat.pdf

The idea is that the algorithm is defined as non-deterministic (the `with` clauses nondeterministically chooses any "safe" configuration of the boat and cross the river with it), and the model-checker is then asked, is it true that no possible execution (a sequence of steps) solves the puzzle? The model checker then finds an execution that violates this assertion, and that is the solution (or one possible solution) to the puzzle.

Except they're also a marketplace and they require their vendors to ban the same products.

It's not an ecommerce strategy, they're very clearly using their huge leverage as the #1 ecommerce on the internet to attack their competitors and lure customers into their walled garden.

I'm pretty sure in my country this will be forbidden by antitrust laws.

> They are destroying their most valuable component of their brand, for a relatively weak one (Prime Video).

This is why it almost seems like Amazon's Google+ moment: one underperforming product area somehow manages to convince leadership to change the company's underlying principles in its advantage to the long-term detriment of overall brand perception.

Edit: 32 points in 19 mins for this comment. I really hope someone from Amazon is reading.
How does Weebly compare to other options like Squarespace? I'm currently researching these kinds of services so this couldn't come at a better time.
Google and Apple don't sell Amazon devices on their stores, so I guess Amazon wants to take away that advantage from its competitors.
"RAII" seems to cover it nicely, and extends beyond memory management to other resources. Admittedly it's not a very friendly term for non-C++ programmers.

What's this non-lexical borrowing idea you mentioned in your other comment? (I can't reply there for some reason.) Is there an RFC for that?

I have prime, and mainly consume via IOS. It's annoying to search for something only for results to come up as "You can pay for this!".

It'd be nice if there was a way to hide all non-prime content (or at least, if it is there - then it should be the default with, say, a "Search again including pay video" option)
I'm glad to see the CMU pronouncing dictionary in there. It was instrumental when I wrote a web app[1] to generate Spoonerisms[2] (my apologies for the UI and the fact that I haven't yet removed the more obscure words, especially obscure homophones, from my cmudict subset).

The cmudict isn't under the text-to-speech subheading in this list, but I think the folks at Carnegie Mellon may have considered text-to-speech applications, like a talking GPS navigator, when they compiled the dictionary. I recall the cmudict containing lots of US city names.

Amazon has never been able to keep up with physical store prices on loss leaders- items that stores frequently mark down below inventory costs to get people in the door in the hopes they will also buy enough marked up merchandise to make up for the loss.

I did compare Bounty paper towels and Charmin Ultra about a month ago between Costco and Amazon and found that the dollar savings I got at Costco didn't make up for having to drive 20 minutes to get there (and battle all the soccer moms for a parking space). This might not be the case everywhere and for everyone, of course, but for me I am usually willing to pay a little more for next day delivery to my door in exchange for shopping in my pajamas.
"It’s important that the streaming media players we sell interact well with Prime Video in order to avoid customer confusion."

It's faster. No typing. No worry about malware stealing your OTP secret. It's easy to revoke a single device if you lose it without having to change your Authenticator secrets everywhere. And it looks cool.
There is a difference, but it's definitely one that can be intentionally conflated if it suits them.
I never understood the point of 2-factor authentication, and moreover, certain agencies (e.g. banks) that force using it. Can't we just pick good enough passwords?

There are many times I don't carry my phone around with me or do not wish to, simply because I have a terminal that loads my personalized environment everywhere I go. Information flows with me, not hardware.

Here's a chart of housing prices over time in Canada, adjusted for inflation:

http://www.macleans.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Rabidoux_h...

In their index, housing prices were about 100 in 2000 and about 180 in 2013, so houses were about 80% more expensive in 2013 versus 2000. That is in real terms. You'd expect it to be more like 103% more expensive in nominal terms (assuming 2%/year inflation).

Here's a good source for recent housing prices in Canada:

http://crea.ca/content/national-average-price-map

It shows that the average sale price in Canada was $433k in August 2015. But there's tremendous variation within Canada. Vancouver was around $900k; PEI was $158k. It looks like Saskatchewan was around $253k, so a bit over half the national average, with Regina and Saskatoon being more expensive in the $310-320k range.

About 15 years ago you would have expected prices to be about half that in Saskatchewan, or maybe $125k. So no, house prices have not gone up 10x in the last 15 years and $20-30k were not typical house prices in Saskatchewan at the time.
Sounds like an anti-competitive move. Cue the google/apple lawsuits and FTC investigation in 3, 2, ......

The Simple Power of Elasticsearch Analyzers
Apple isn't Microsoft in the 1990s where it was Apple or the highway. They've allowed Kindle, Netflix, and other apps, some featured prominently on their default configuration.

They've even gone so far as to present options when looking at a movie in their store on the new hardware and OS so you know what other services offer it.

I'm guessing Amazon will be removed from this list immediately.
Of course I had to google it, and I seem to have missed whatever's so disgusting about it (guessing an insect-infested wound or something based on reactions here).

"Trypophobia is a claimed pathological fear of holes, particularly irregular patterns of holes. ... Shapes that elicit a reaction were said to include clustered holes in innocuous contexts such as fruit and bubbles, and in contexts associated with danger, such as holes made by insects and holes in wounds and diseased tissue."

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trypophobia, which contains a picture of a lotus seed head.
Their solution is for you to buy an Amazon Fire Stick and use it instead of your Chromecast.
But it's a myth that we're running out of landfill space.
This is a really good point.

One difference here is that Amazon can quietly go back on their decision if it doesn't work and they see people aren't viewing the Apple TV, Chromecast and Fire as substitutes- since it is just a few listings.

Google integrated everything with Google+ the vestiges are still all around.

> Travel agents in 1980 did less physical work than ER nurses do in 2015 whether measured in micro-tasks, macro-tasks, steps per day or anything else.

My point is that that is an assumption, if we choose to believe 1% of the last 30 years of technological innovation in convenience is real then the environments are a better explanation than changes to their inhabitants.

A travel agent in 1980 may walk to work, clean the house without a vacuum, scrub the floor, lift and lug all sorts of heavy devices, reference books, carry and hang laundry, etc... Anyone today has higher odds of having to drive to work, having a roomba and easy surfaces at home, carrying a tablet or just a phone, having no steps in their living area and an elevator at work, not cooking at all by 1980's standards, having a private washing machine, being afraid to walk after dusk...

Then for the 40 hours they actually spend at work, there are various equipment and practices to no longer lift patients frequently in the ER, etc. Many nurses are spending a lot of time reading things, comparing numbers, following (manual?) push carts and entering pill data. A few ER nurses may be doing more exercise now, but the average could look shockingly low to a travel agent from 1980.

I would expect the articles premise if I ran the study. That makes me more suspicious of the outcome; we find what we expect to find when a study can't be perfectly controlled. Swapping the 1980s and 2010s environments is a perfect example of poor control.
After considering a Chromecast and an Apple TV I went with Roku because the main services I want are Amazon Prime Video and Netflix. If Apple and Google are playing hardball against Amazon video this move only makes sense in a tit for tat battle.
