Let's not forget that the technology is relatively unexplored. No matter how clean; nobody is going to use something that simply doesn't work. Funding is the only way to improve that, but it's definitely not as peachy as the article tries to make it look. The technology is not mature enough to take to your local congressman (unless you're after funding for research).

Also, generation IV uranium reactors (e.g. PBR) are designed to be passively safe, although expensive. Thorium reactors will need to be safe and most of all cheap - we've become quite efficient at splitting uranium during all the years that thorium has been ignored.

A reactor needs to be economically viable before it is built.
A better comparison is probably Amazon's Elastic Beanstalk / Docker integration.

There are too many counterfeits and schemes like this on Amazon. Finding a reliable seller that has a legitimate product and a good reputation has become almost impossible.
Interesting conclusion to the article. I stopped buying Apple items off Amazon a really long time ago because they let counterfeit chargers list as real Apple products and did jack shit about it. To some extent this has begun flowing in to other product categories for me as well.

"Meanwhile, the product page is flooded with fraudelent (sp) reviews, poisoning the well and moving future customers away from Amazon and towards trusted Apple retailers. Amazon and customers lose, but Apple possibly gets more customers."
Another thing that could be done... is that shippers could help out.

UPS, Fedex, USPS could all offer last step photo verification of packages, as a service. A few more dollars and you get a photo of what is inside and the handler packs the box up.

Question: how should a seller document and defend that they indeed shipped an iPhone (not clay)?
> Perhaps Amazon Sellers are attempting to buy iPhones on the grey market at a discount, in order to resell them on Amazon at a profit. However the person they're dealing with upstream is actually shipping them clay or similar and plans to disappear when discovered.

I hadn't considered this possibility, but it is definitely possible as well. I see it as less likely, because the Amazon Seller that is the responsible party would probably get flagged for fraud and their account disabled. Additionally - the profiles of the buyers posting the reviews raises suspicion on their part.

> But why even post a review at all? The A-Z guidelines don't require it.

Claims that aren't resolved between buyer and seller involve a customer service individual from Amazon. If the buyer can point to pictures/reviews they posted, it likely strengthens their case and encourages the customer service to resolve in their favor, especially when the seller has no alternative picture evidence.
True story.

But fact is: JavaScript the opposite of a small little niche.

Not because you can do everything with JS (which you probably can't) but because a few things you can do with it are considered rather valuable at this moment.

If you're relying the extra protection of an exact match over a match with a Levenshtein distance of 1, your security question isn't secure to begin with.

Proper management of security questions is pretty straightforward: Set them to a long random string and keep track of them as if they were another password.

If you do that, the fuzzy matching shouldn't be a problem at all. If you're using real answers that are easy to obtain from knowing anything about you, exact matching isn't helping.
> It's very easy to read the article

Not for me, at least. My eyes jump to the all-caps words, they jump to the repeated letters in "weeeeelllll....", and I find the unqualified binary assertions and fake dialogue utterly unconvincing.

All these writing techniques combine to set off my crackpot and scam detectors.

I agree with the article's premise, but it takes conscious effort to not dismiss it based on style issues.
> We learn our values, just as an AGI would

Yes, but there's a problem. An AGI would be a completely alien mind. It does not have to have the same values(or any values we could relate to), just like you wouldn't expect a super intelligent spider to have any morality, no matter how good the parenting was.
Interestingly, too, I noticed in 2013 that Amazon's general marketplace is rife for abuse: https://jakeseliger.com/2013/02/16/is-amazon-coms-marketplac.... I assume that Amazon tracks the number of returns a particular account engages, but still, I wouldn't sell anything of real value on the site.
The problem for docker is that just by building docker engine, they don't really have a way to make money – so stuff like this is probably all an attempt to actually have differentiating products that can generate revenue.

One of the buzzwords a few years back was the "intention economy"; the idea is that you wouldn't have ads, instead you'd have a kind of automated RFP process in which consumers would say what they want and sellers would reply with offers that matched the request.

The only thing wrong with is the enforcement, at which point do you value sovereignty over common market ?

(Everyone should still implement this of course.)

But having the ability to say no is still nice.

About the models, well normally most countries will apply the rule anyway, as such the vacuum cleaners you will be able to get will conform anyway.

(And the vacuum cleaners was an example.)

Bus as stated it's mainly about sovereignty versus unity. Also I am not sure if optional parts would help keep the EU together: on one side you feel less forced, and more invested. On the other side it diminishes to effectiveness of it.

And I think I mainly fear the EU becoming the the USA. I do not think many people in the EU are keen on seeing that happen.
Locks move a certain amount of water downstream with each operation, proportional to height and supported ship dimension. They are essentially hydro-powered. Water savings basins help increase the number of lock operations per flow, but they are expensive in construction, land use and leakage/evaporation.

Usually, canal operators have to carefully balance ship throughput with available flow to not drain their highest level, investing in savings basins if necessary.

The Panama canal is using a large natural lake as the highest level, which means that overutilization of the available flow would not be immediately noticeable. In this situation, it is not at all unreasonable to be concerned that planners might be a bit too optimistic in terms of flow available/savings basins required or operators in terms of flow available/throughput sustainable. It would be a shame to drain a lake just to get stuff from China to New York a tiny little bit cheaper than it already is.
Extraordinary Rendition
Yep. This also wouldn't protect against the "it was damaged in transit" scam either. Depending on how much time you had, I could see someone swapping just enough of a working handset onto a broken handset to "prove" it is was broken, then returning it.
Neither Apple nor Amazon sell iPhones on Amazon as far as I can tell. All the listings you see are third-party sellers. If you click on any of the listings, you'll see the list of sellers in the right-hand column under the checkout buttons.

Ex: https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00NQGP3L6/ref=dp_ol...

The "by Apple" under each listing in search results identifies the manufacturer/brand, not who is selling the product or fulfilling the order.

Hmm...not sure that it's an elite vs people thing. I think it's more an old vs young (relatively speaking) thing. For example, I was sitting with my parents and a former colleague of my dad's in Cologne a couple of years ago, and in conversation I mentioned that it only had very minimal practical impact on my life whether the border to France was where it was or across the Rhine, making where we were sitting French. To me, it seemed obvious to the point of being banal.

The others were shocked and horrified. And these were not uneducated people, and overall very pro Europe, although from what I read (poll demographics) that also appears to be a factor. Older, less-educated and (sigh) male: pro brexit. Younger, well-educated, female: pro remain.

> I think most Europeans would be horrified of joining the United States.

Yes. But not because of "shared identity" (or lack thereof). How about: almost complete lack of social democracy as we know it. Medical bankruptcy (though hopefully getting less). 4x the homicide rate, 10-100x the gun homicide rate, a permanent underclass, a plutocracy and a political system that's openly owned by said plutocracy, infrastructure that's laughable, permanent wars (largely fought by said underclass), almost complete abandonment of the rule of law, ...

And I lived in the US for a total of 8 years, and there's also a lot to like, and the people are mostly lovely. But I certainly wouldn't want my daughter to grow up there.

Look for "used" or "refurbished iPhone 5", there are many (many!) sellers like BREED and Vius. Most fulfill through Amazon, so this may be their way of trying to tackle this problem?

I agree with the ideas this post tries to perpetuate, but it’s written as if the author lives in a different reality. Post 2008, the EU has been the mother of all evil for PIIGS and non-PIIGS too.

> In the abstract, the case for supranational organizations is almost too obvious to be worth making: […]

Most Euro-sceptics, myself included, do not see the EU as a “supranational organisation” that is for my best interest. What I see is a body of non-elected puppets, taking important decisions about my life, mishandling crisis after crisis (debt crisis, Ukraine, Syria, etc.), the French sitting quietly while Germany abuses everyone.

The EU is deeply, deeply undemocratic. There are no published discussions of the Eurogroup. So basically a finance minister goes there, comes back with new laws but there’s nothing published on paper or broadcasted about who said what and why.

Every time an anti-popular law is passed, it’s because of “the EU” as if the EU was something abstract (exactly as this post describes) in which we, the people, have no say. So if we really have no say, why on earth would be support that? Because the opposite is worst? Sorry but this ain’t gonna cut it.

The EU have not solved the basic macro-economic problems that every union or federal country has like surplus recycling: You can’t have Germany with huge surplus without having Greece with a huge pile of debt! You just can’t! It’s macro 0101.

Why do you think that every time a referendum has been to called in relation to the EU (France, Netherlands, Greece and now the UK) the anti-EU choice has dominated. I mean the EU is turning unpopular even in Germany which is the country who profited most because of the single currency. That was expected because it's the biggest exporting power in Europe, so it has a surplus vis-a-vis with EVERY state that can't devalue.

There is something fundamentally broken within the EU. The Germans are clearly unfit to lead while the French are too weak to react when it matters the most and others simply don't count. The whole is going to blow up for sure.

Would you rather have 50 EUR and be able to decide what to do with 'em or 500 EUR but another country telling what to do with them?

Now Prof. Varoufakis, which I admire deeply, believes that what comes after a break-up is an even greater depression and possibly war. I don’t like this narrative, not a bit, but I don’t see how we can avoid it by staying within the EU.

The fact that we have neo-nazis in the Greek parliament, extreme right wing rising in Austria, France and Hungary is not pure chance. It’s the result of EU policies promoting unemployment, stagnation and hatred.

So until the EU starts resembling more like a union and less like a bullying squad, there’s no chance.

[1] That was the exact words Scheuble used to explain Varoufakis that Greece should continue with austerity “as is” although it was clearly visible that everything in the Greek program was wrong.

Google gave me the answer "Unfortunately, we can't provide you any feedback from the interviewers." A couple weeks later, they sent me a questionnaire for me to provide them feedback.

I suppose that if I'd made notes of each interviewer's name, I could've taken a guess at their Google e-mail addresses and tried to contact them directly, but that's definitely not something they would've made easy for me.

One problem I have with this argument is that personal freedom isn't taken into account. Every time a decision is moved up one subsidiarity level, members at lower levels sacrifice a little bit of freedom.

For example, suppose the EU recognizes that gas-consuming vehicles contribute to climate change. From a utilitarian standpoint, it makes sense to ban all cars unless the economic advantage from driving outweighs the ecological damage from climate change. So perhaps the EU should ban all cars by default, but allow citizens to fill out a petition every time they need to drive. Except this is ridiculous, because we shouldn't need permission to drive. This is an assumed basic liberty (of course drivers should still pass a driver's test to get a license, but this only needs to be done once).

I think the utilitarian argument can still hold, but only if personal freedom is taken into account. It should be weighed like everything else, and recognized as a tradeoff. The United States allows freedom of speech, in exchange for giving people the right to post hateful comments online. The utilitarian might argue this is a bad thing, since society might be better off if hateful speech was removed from the internet. But in this case, I personally believe the benefits of freedom outweigh the drawbacks of offensive speech.

Every time a higher authority recognizes a prisoner's dilemma and enforces a rule, they are forbidding the players from playing the game themselves. Even if the societal benefits outweigh the drawbacks, there are hidden costs associated with sacrificing freedom.

I grew up in the Canal Zone, Panama. I'm in the last generation of true Zonians. When the Panama Canal Treaty started to take effect on October 1, 1979 we all thought it was the beginning of the end of the Panama Canal. When Panama took over the railroad it shortly became defunct so our beliefs weren't entirely without foundation. Military personnel at one point were banned from riding it.

We were angry about losing, from our perspective, our homeland. The Canal Zone police force was disbanded and the PDF (Panama Defense Forces) started patrolling my home town. More and more Panama encroached on what I thought of as my homeland. During Noriega I was convinced Panama would run the canal into the ground.

I went back to Panama 8 years ago and I was pleasantly surprised at the progress the country has made. They've done a great job in running the canal and the country has noticeably benefited from America's withdrawal. My anecdotal experience is that colonialism is bad. Even in benign forms.

I talked with an elderly rabiblanco the last time I was there. He said America leaving made Panama grow up. By all indications they have done so and I'm glad to see it.
the "uo" letter sequence is pretty rare. from the latest collins wordlist:

$ grep UO ~/CSW15.txt | wc -l
603

$ grep OU ~/CSW15.txt | wc -l
12564

the most common are QUO- and -UOUS words, plus a handful of _UOS words like "virtuoso"; removing those we are left with a handful of root words:

FLUOR [as noted], BUOY [which americans pronounce "booee" and everyone else "boy", so the letter sequence even leads to dialect pronunciation differences!], DUO, LANGUOR [i've seen this misspelt a lot too], PLUOT, SKEUOMORPH, and a handful of scientific words like GLUON and VACUO-, and words borrowed from other languages like EUONYM and OCTUOR.
My guess is sellers absorb this as a cost of doing business. As long as fraud rates remain in low single digit percentage, it's probably not worth it for the seller or Amazon to fight it.

It is always fun to dissect these scams. There's an interesting e-commerce scam prevalent in India that popped up as the country embraced e-commerce without much credit card infrastructure in place (most online orders are paid to the delivery person in cash) https://simility.com/delivery-fraud:

"The fraudster businesses ordered hundreds of products from the victim’s website to be delivered on a daily basis. Meanwhile, if customers came into their store asking for an out-of-stock product, they were told it would be in stock later that day. Then the fraudsters paid the delivery person in cash for the small fraction of products they had pre-sold to customers, while returning the vast majority of unsold products without paying for them at the cost of the e-commerce company, thus completing the delivery fraud cycle."
For a long time now Amazon has been taking over that part of Ebay's market. (I think of it as the Ebay 'buy it now' market). Its a pretty sweet deal for them, skim off the tasty transactional cost cream off the top, leave the buyer and seller to hold all the liability.
my approach: after authentication i'm generating a JWT and send it to the client that stores it in LocalStorage. On the server side I'm using a memcached database that stores a key-value-pair (JWT and some config stuff that shall not be visible on the client side..) for 30 minutes and then deletes it. The JWT is sent with every client request in the Authorization header. A function checks if there is any key-value-pair in the memcached database that matched the JWT (key) and if that JWT is valid. After that it continues or denies the request. The client requests a new JWT after 29 minutes. If the client is offline and doesn't request that new JWT, the old JWT is killed after 30 minutes, anyway.
I can't see any other attack vector than XSS - which I'm trying to avoid as hard as I can. But lets face it: IF you have a XSS problem, then you'll have it anyway, with JWT or without. If someone has full access to the JavaScript of your website, he/she can capture any authentication data you are going to send over the wire, unless you use cookies (where you'll have the CSRF problem..).

SO, I think it's pretty safe if you get your XSS protection right.

Opinions? Thank you :)

given the amount of garbage amazon sells nowadays, if it didn't favoured the buyer they would be gone by now.

Almost everything i buy that is not books i have to return once or twice until i receive the item from a seller that is not trying to fence a couterfeit version. This happens with $100 pro SD cards down to $15 arduinos clones (which i think amazon still do not carry the original, but all ads show the original in the picture)
I encourage everyone to find a market and a way to gather attention before making a product. It's the opposite order of what many people do, and they could learn on mistakes rather than their own.
> So if you have found yourself relapsing, and think that any control over your own actions has vanished overnight?

No one in this thread is claiming this and I certainly am not.

If your frame of mind, attitude and inclination have shifted so far from what 'makes sense', i.e. staying sober after proving that you're incapable of using without losing control, then pretending it isn't a big deal to use once isn't helpful. It is detrimental. An addict's mind will want to find any excuse to minimize away the problems of using, and if you're at the point where you've willingly used once, you've already started going down that rabbit hole.

> I'd do almost anything to avoid going into full on withdrawal

So would a lot of people. The best way to avoid going through withdrawals after using is to keep on using, hence why a relapse is a problem.
> Change the loop counter? That's supposed to be impossible in Fortran, isn't it?

It is impossible inside the loop, even in F77.

But if a global variable is used as a loop counter, and the variable is altered in a subroutine, then the code altering the variable is not inside the loop. At least not in the eyes of the Fortran compiler.

Please don't make dissing generalizations about the community as a rhetorical device. We've noticed that it's reliably a marker of bad comments. People usually make such generalizations to put down those on the other side of an argument and give themselves a higher status by implication. That may be good for making others look bad, but it's not good for the thoughtful discussion we hope for here.
