Very nice. I have only a tiny suggestion: maybe add some tooltips so that if we (desktop users) hover the mouse over, say, The Sun, some facts pop up, like how many pixels wide is this, and such.
They open and repack everything. Amazon requires a specific Amazon barcode, you can either pay them to do it for you for 20c an item or pay someone else to do it. I found I could get the item quality checked and barcoded for the same price as Amazon would do it.
If we're comparing to the average prisoner then it filters out a lot of the chaff that you were suggesting (like parking tickets, which you do not go to prison for). I agree it's not a perfect metric, but it makes more sense than comparing to an average citizen who may or may not have even committed a crime.
Only if you stop at the analogy :). Last step is Technical Definition.
Users want positive experiences, and devs want to build those positive experiences. Look at some of the most popular websites out there: Youtube, Spotify, Amazon, Reddit - they're built on interaction. You're not just reading a post on reddit, you're upvoting it and influencing the front page.

This had traditionally happened through POST/GET requests and having all the logic server-side. Yes it's possible to build interaction without Javascript, but it's not a great effect. Imagine if you had to wait for a page load every time you voted on a post on reddit.

Now extend that to modern webapps. Take Google's Voice Memos demo[1]. It loads instantly. It supports any device. You can even add it to your homescreen and you won't be able to tell it from a native app. Everything about it just works. Why would a user not want such an experience?

Javascript interaction is the natural evolution of the web. If it wasn't JS it would have been something else. This growth has been driven by users, devs, and browser vendors alike. There's nothing "arrogant" about it.

Theranos faces congressional inquiry over faulty blood tests
I'd bet that most people who have done advanced animation work [with code] can see exactly what Chris means. I certainly can. There is incredible motion design work that is purely accomplished in code. Certain things are faster and far more flexible in that medium. He's not saying "Design can and should only be done with code". I don't understand why anyone would bash the sentiment expressed in Chris' work. I think it's entirely valid and deserves our respect.

Code is a tool, just like a GUI. Most GUIs just abstract away the creation of the code anyway. If a guy like Chris can leverage code as a tool directly and doesn't need a GUI, more power to him. There are plenty of effects I've created with code that would be an absolute nightmare to try to create with a GUI.

Because even in a good year I've done worse than the indices, I've swallowed my pride and shifted much further towards buy-and-hold in indexes.

Yeah, I guess that's right. All the other responses to this thread are moving in the same direction. I was also inferring something from the statement.

I don't see that anything was "hand waved" other than it stopped short of prosecution. So, to my ears, that is what he was espousing.

I guess I would expect something specific:

1. Yes, prosecute the previous people as well!

2. Ah, I see. Well I don't believe all SoS since the invention of email should be prosecuted, so in order to be fair, I guess I don't believe she should be as well.

3. I don't believe it was as bad

4. I don't know?

But that is why the question was asked.

What's even worse is that their prices aren't even competitive anymore!

It is cheaper for me to buy floss refills at my local supermarket than it is to buy on amazon. WTF!

The crazy part is when I see reviews last year of a window fan where they say "the fan is made of cheap plastic but decent for $19.99" and this year, the same exact fan is listed as $39.99.

It's sad how everything that was good about amazon is slowly getting whittled away. But hey, at least the stock is at all time highs and bezos is making a killing.
The misconception that these are all from Romeo and Juliet type laws is disingenuous. Fehrenbach and Allard-Dansereau found that adolescents were actually more likely to commit serious offenses (genital contact/penetration) than adults.
Exactly. Even if teaching or reasoning from first principles, you would explain them via analogies, diagrams, examples, etc.

Teaching from first principles solely from the technical definition wouldn't be very pleasant for most.
This isn't a hard question. There's two reasons pepperonis curl. One is that the top is cooking faster than the bottom, and as with any piece of meat that will cause it to curl towards the surface being cooked faster.

The other reason is that the edge of the pepperoni cooks faster than the middle, that means that the edge experiences tension which causes the pepperoni to fold.

Machines can, ultimately, make for a "two hour work week" (or more like "two year career")

But with our current system, someone owns the machines, and the sources of minerals to make then, and make a profit. In the end, this will lead to the ultimate in income inequality.

We have to start thinking about the post-work world, at least for non-knowledge workers, and what we want that world to actually look like.
Basic income might be a reasonable component of that.
Agreed. Although I wonder if removing cron or similar to update the date would be the same as removing the message legally speaking. I doubt these companies would have someone go in every day and bump the date. Then again that might be a good thing to outsource.

Fair point. How about we replace it with "the scientific method has always been about finding the best way to approach the real truth about a subject of enquiry, and to further refine that approach through further study. The object is, and always was, about truth. Of course it can be applied to poetry, insofar as there can be a 'truth' about poetry. The author's point is vacuous, because he presumes to resolve a conflict he himself invented or imagined."

Depending on the intelligence and compassion of a judge is a great strategy. I'd bet that it works >50% of the time.

F.B.I. Director James Comey Recommends No Charges for Hillary Clinton on Email
It's a myth popularised by anthropologists like Diamond who compare it to primitive agriculture and conclude that the farmers were worse off in many respects. But even if hunter-gathering was a local optimum (which is questionable, considering that for the lifestyle to be sustainable neighbouring human tribes had to be killed off or driven away), I can't really conceive how a life expectancy of 26 with no fixed abode, education or lifestyle choice can be considered as anything other than poverty by today's standards.

> why is it implausible for them to work 35 hours a week with better benefits and more vacation time?

People could do that if they were all willing to live like people lived in 1935. It turns out that many (most?) people prefer to live a more expensive lifestyle which requires more hours of work.

One consequence of this is that, since the number of people who prefer this is large enough that they've established a norm in many industries which makes it harder to find an employer willing to hire a worker that's going to put in fewer hours.

If you do really want a 1935 quality of life, though, you can probably attain it working 20 or 30 hours per week at a restaurant or supermarket.

It's important to note that this life could be very different from what you have now. You would likely live in a household containing three generations of your family and seldom travel outside the town/county you live in, among other things.
I'd always recommend new sellers to not buy or fake reviews. Not just from a moral view point, but also from a business one - if Amazon catch you (which they're quite good at now) that's it, no more selling on Amazon for you.

I totally agree with you that the Amazon review system needs a complete overhaul. I've had fake reviews from competitors damaging my sales, and have seen people get hundreds of reviews in a few hours. The issue is that it's too easy to leave a fake review (you don't even need to buy the product), and too few customers leave a real one. Less than 1%.

Sorry, yeah, misread your question. It is really hard to expand beyond Amazon because marketing is so hard. But the few that do succeed can then control the customer relationship, so its worth the risk and investment.

"If the banks owned it, they could vote to take all the profits (instead of a small fraction). Let me know when that happens."

You are once again misled.

It's authorized by congress, but it is NOT A PART OF GOVERNMENT. Unlike in the UK, Canada - and everywhere else in the world, the US Fed is not a nationalized entity.

The Fed is literally owned by banks.

If you founded a bank in America, you would actually be forced to buy a share in it.

The banks don't 'vote to take all the profits' because the operating requirements are established by mandate from the government, and there is oversight. FYI the Fed does make a tiny profit.

And this from the US 9th circuit court:

"the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit stated that: "The Reserve Banks are not federal instrumentalities for purposes of the FTCA [the Federal Tort Claims Act], but are independent, privately owned and locally controlled corporations."

Here it is from the Fed of St. Louis:

https://www.stlouisfed.org/in-plain-english/who-owns-the-fed...

"While the Board of Governors is an independent government agency, the Federal Reserve Banks are set up like private corporations. Member banks hold stock in the Federal Reserve Banks and earn dividends. Holding this stock does not carry with it the control and financial interest given to holders of common stock in for-profit organizations. The stock may not be sold or pledged as collateral for loans. Member banks also appoint six of the nine members of each Bank's board of directors. "

It is a highly controversial issue.

> I think that you will find evidence in both directions

Most american POWs survived ww2 under japanese control. Almost no wounded or surrendering japanese survived ww2 under American control.

There was brutality on both side for sure. But the allies were especially racist and especially brutal. What the allies did in the pacific has no parallels in human history in terms of brutality and savagery on the battlefield.

Hundreds of thousands of japanese were tortured and mutilated. Hundreds of thousands of japanese were decapitated and their heads were boiled to make war trophies.

It is the ugly side of history hidden from view because the winners get to write the histories.

As I said, evil won ww2 and evil lost ww2.

> Many Americans considered them killing machines without heart with whom it was impossible to reason.

That doesn't explain the mutilation, torture and other depraved behavior by the allies. America was the most racist society on earth during ww2. The nazis modeled their racial ideology on the US for a reason.

The brutalizing of nonwhites has a long history in the US. The propaganda about the japanese being "unreasonable" or "suicidal" are lies we invented to hide our savage behavior. No different than our excuses for mutilating native americans and blacks.

FYI: The mutilating of non-whites continued in the korean war and the vietnam war. I guess they were "unreasonable" too... I guess all the blacks that were tortured and lynched were "unreasonable" as well.

Or maybe the US was just extremely racist.
Happy? Healthy? I'm sure it was the happy hunter gatherers who built Stonehedge[1] and possibly used the area for happy human sacrifice[2]. Not to mention the probable rape and killing of groups of gatherers [3].

I can't even imagine the hunger and famine they had to endure if the herds didn't migrate in the same pattern one year. Or if a harsh winter killed off your gathering food.

What about all the worms and parasites they probably had. If you look at hunter gatherers today they are all short and thin.
