I worked NA logistics back when I was with Amazon, and was with the team behind the LA fresh and the team which works with intermediate FCs (they don't stock goods, but do store-and-forward at crucial locations in the logistics pipeline). And you are right, Amazon does an incredible amount of stuff when it comes to logistics. There is an entire building that houses trans & metrics team, and the hyderabad center in India is mostly just the transportation team.

Amazon is way ahead in the logistics game, even further than some of your flagship logistics companies.
Not only does it soothe the other person, this approach is ACTUALLY helpful in improving oneself i.e. how one approaches an argument or a difference of opinion.

Once you say this and mean it, you are no longer thinking about how wrong or stupid the other person is. You are no longer frustrated by someone else's apparent incompetence. Instead you start thinking how to share with the other person, the influential thoughts and experiences which you have already had.

The sooner you are successful in letting the other person experience the same thoughts and experiences that you already have, the better the chances that the other person can now see your point of view.
It's funny you mention that, because I know more people who use Instagram than Snapchat. Could be an age demographic? What I do know is my friends who use Snapchat don't use the stories mode, relying on sending direct snaps to the people they want to send it to. Not the case with Instagram.
There's probably some parents silently crying themselves to sleep because they fear they'll be homeless soon while people here have the time and resources to bloviate about "innovating your way out of poverty."
The largest torrent search engine? No way, Google is still working fine for me

It's a tricky business running a torrent site. Unless it is fully decentralized, it can be shut down fairly easily.

Starting a torrent site using the HTTP & DNS protocols is a lost cause. HTTP can be worked around, but DNS is very problematic. I think we'll see more and more torrent sites show up that leverages IPFS[1] or ZeroNet[2], but the second the main browser vendors adds support for something like IPNS (decentralized alternative to DNS), torrent sites will have won the battle with MPAA, RIAA and other IP and DMCA enforcers. Considering the grip that the movie studios has around the vendors, it is very unlikely that it will happen.

I agree, but the case with torrents and trackers is such a gray area. Shouldn't routers be illegal since they help facilitate crime? If not, why should trackers?

I'm just playing with thoughts, interested in seeing what people think.
if puritanical lectures solved the world's problems, we would already be living in paradise.

Clearly there are a lot of reasons why some people struggle, and it's often not because they are lazy and profligate. There are structural societal reasons which can't be solved purely by hard work.
The fumes don't contain lead as it has a very high boiling point. The flux can be in the fumes though, which can be harmful.
The Dangers Facing Open Data
Not to take away from your very valid point, but here's a dose of reality when it comes to the actual numbers.

The average wage of a cleaning lady in California is $26,680 for full time work. It's $36,790 in San Francisco.

http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes372012.htm

The average wage in California for all occupations is $55,260. The median is significantly lower.

Your main point is the straw man. No one has said that social problems are better in China. The reason he was shocked over social problems in SF is because he is from Sweden and he idolized SV.

> As a Swede coming to the States, I was disillusioned. I had, as I think many young entrepreneurs have, idolized Silicon Valley as a utopian vision of an idealistic but well-meaning band of technocrats building the foundations for a just and democratic society, but in its place I found vanity, pettiness and greed. Not only did the emperor have no clothes, but the naked corpus revealed was unappetizing to my Swedish quasi-socialist ideals. Ultimately, I felt alone in Silicon Valley... I left.

The reason he's staying in Beijing isn't because it doesn't have social problems, but because he finds it more rewarding.

> "[...] I founded a tech startup in Beijing and chances are I'll stay there. Why? Because in many ways, Beijing has been a better breeding ground for my startup and for my own personal growth than I think Silicon Valley could be today.

> Before you object, I am by no means saying that China is a more just society than the States, or more technologically advanced - it was just clearly moving faster - and you immediately got the impression that Beijing was a city concerned with statecraft and the future of its people, rather than the latest hot gadget. For all its warts (and there are many), Beijing is a city with its eye on the future and a place that you can help shape.
I'd be really interesting the see that graph extended to to left - what was the traffic like before the 3 paws "bug" was first introduced.

I definitely feel that a significant amount of the drive to use the 3rd party services was due to the fact that you couldn't realistically hunt down any of the pokemon that show up on your radar.
> but their volume is so huge that they will probably rival UPS/Fedex if you included all of Amazons shipments across carriers

Not even remotely close. Amazon's total retail shipping volume represents about 5%-6% of UPS by itself. Amazon's total shipping costs annually are equal to about 9% of the revenue UPS does currently. You're dramatically underestimating how big UPS + Fedex + USPS are. Those three deal with shipping for businesses and consumers representing $40+ trillion in global economic activity, and of course have a huge share of the US $18 trillion economy. Amazon is still just a large drop in that vast shipping ocean.
If you like filthy British humour and want to add to your swearing vocabulary, get the original Roger's Profanisaurus [1].

That sounds cool, but I doubt it actually happens. At least not for one person.
Unless that person is Martin Shkreli, who would happily answer you in full honesty about the next abuse he's doing while also making it clear how little he cares about what people think about him.
It's as if it had just been reduced to a sequence of syllables

And for all practical purposes, it has. Sometimes, sentences used very often lose their meaning and become interjections. "Goodbye" comes from "God be with ye", and of course it's used by atheists as well.

The typical LWN reader is a heavy mailing list consumer. Emails have subject lines so having subject lines for comments is very familiar. Many people take the default subject heading because they are making an on-topic comment. I think outsiders aren't used to seeing so many on-topic comments so it throws them off.

Using a line break between meta data and content is also a familiar paradigm. Spend 20 years reading your email with mutt or mailx and you'll catch on. ;)
More cynically put; what matters is if you are perceived as a facilitator of copyright infringement and a threat to the business models of corporations willing to spend a lot of money on shutting you down.

Regardless of whether what Torrentz was doing legal or not; what you do doesn't even have to be actually illegal to be shut down if your opponent has bigger pockets.
The double standard is incredible. Google would be well served defending the open web by supporting sites such as torrentz (via legal resources or otherwise), its unfortunate that the PR aspect prevents such a thing.
Do you know how it works? Does it use the DHT or is there a central tracker/index somewhere?

I think it's conceivable that these phishing attempts are not targeted, in order to unlock stolen/found iPhones, but scattered widely, in order to obtain iCloud passwords.

FWIW, I've also received these phishy "Find My iPhone" notifications that my phone was found, via SMS [1], and nearly fell for it (as I had lost a phone months ago).

Apple Support did not seem to be surprised, and just explained how to report spam.

Agree that these are potentially very effective, as users will be eager to log in to retrieve their phones. As such, it is arguably incumbent on Apple to explicit warn about them.

This question was actually addressed in the EU copyright directive:

Article 5

Exceptions and limitations

1. Temporary acts of reproduction referred to in Article 2, which are transient or incidental [and] an integral and essential part of a technological process and whose sole purpose is to enable:

(a) a transmission in a network between third parties by an intermediary, or

(b) a lawful use

of a work or other subject-matter to be made, and which have no independent economic significance, shall be exempted from the reproduction right provided for in Article 2.

.. explicitly exempts the copies made by routers in the course of their operation.
I thought it peculiar that there was no state whose nearest-whole-dollar value was $100 - Florida at $100.91 was the closest. There's a surprising number of states which are _substantially_ higher or lower than the average. I'm sure there's some term in statistics where the mean is pretty far off the median - but not sure what that is, or what it implies

DNS appears to have a decent amount of decentralization, otherwise what use would it have been to switch around TLDs for the pirate bay?
Good. Maybe this will deter people from stealing music, films and software.

It's a disgrace that so many work so hard on their craft, only to have the fruits of their efforts ripped off by the immoral.

I hope the authorities shut all these torrent search engines down, and prosecute the owners to the full extent of the law.
If your only higher costs are housing and maybe a bit more expensive food, you'll still come out way ahead since everything else stays the same in price. You might have to live in a closest, but you'll have way more money for retirement, or to send back home (as cleaning ladies are often immigrants).

Why would that benefit Alphabet/Google? They have been working hard at their image of a service provider friendly to the needs of copyright owners (think of how Youtube handles DMCA requests and performs geoblocking based on IP licensing).
Amazon is under almost zero plausible threat of monopoly issues outside of niche categories like e-book readers (which would end in fines rather than traditional broader anti-trust punishment).

Amazon will never acquire a greater dominance in retail than what Walmart had at its peak, and Walmart was never under serious anti-trust threat. Walmart also once owned an extremely large hauling business (eventually mostly sold off to Berkshire Hathaway), and operates a large private-label Great Value brand.

Money, wealth, economic power are all used mostly synonymous in informal discussion like this, and I don't really like to discuss word semantic right now.

A lot of people on HN is supporting Basic Income policy (I do, too). And that's why I specifically pointed out the extreme hyperbole policy while replying to a very antagonizing comment, it wasn't a critic on the "idea". This is the kind of things that the specific matters and you need to says what exactly you are looking for.

FWIW, when I posted there were much fewer comments, and the sentiment was different than the current top comments.

Water is abundant. Plenty of it on this planet. Should be extremely cheap... if you think of "water in general".

But start to divide it based on what composition it has, where it is, how much it costs to transform quality Q1 water to quality Q5 water and so on. Then you can get to placing bets on wheter there will be enough water at place P1 and time T1 etc. Then, at the consumer level, you have bottled water with different packaging, aesthetic values and trustworthiness associated with it etc.

And you can suddenly sell 0.5l of water for $10 even if the planet is full of it :)

I imagine one day we'll have the same for "ideas", but more complex. We'll have "idea casinos" betting on implementation successes of various ideas. Meta-casinos betting on the casinos net profit. Derivatives-of-derivatives-of-derivates... if you want to use stock-market terms ...you get the point.

Things can be cheap in a "country-side market" based purely on selling things "mixed up", unsorted and unrated. Attach ratings and bets and estimates to them and... it's a whole new an much cooler game to play :)
aha - got another idea. I'll just use a different format to display the admin comments. So the imposter can't mimic the format, though they can use the same username.

Being offended is a kind of feeling that you have to allow yourself to have. It's solely the responsibility of the person feeling offended, and frankly, I believe it's a sign of immaturity.
Torrents are filling the gap where the traditional media companies are still failing. Here in NZ there are 7 different streaming services that I can immediately think of, each with exclusive rights to some content. I'm not paying $80 a month to sign up to each so I can watch their popular "exclusive" show they own the rights to.

If the rights-holders made their content accessible and at a reasonable price to consumers, torrents would disappear.
Douglas Trumbull reviews his media/tech career (2012)
The reason piracy is so popular is because it is free and because it's incredibly convenient, in that order.

The convenience factor is basically, if you want some content (movie, game) it's a simple search and download away (streaming torrents seem to be gaining traction). No legal alternative offers this level of convenience.

I suspect piracy will become harder for the average user due to three letter agencies making life harder for pirates, but it won't stop the determined ones.

Speaking of determined torrenters, Peter Sunde, the founder of TPB had something interesting to say about torrent aggregators being shut down [1]. The idea is that even though downloading torrents itself is p2p, finding the magnet links is still centralized and that is an area that needs to be decentralized.

Baselessly accusing others of trolling isn't exactly a stellar addition to the conversation.

Sometimes an echo chamber, as HN often is on the subject of piracy and copyright, needs the occasional dissenting comment to add diversity to the conversation.
I don't have a replacement book, but Rich Dad Poor Dad is less well thought of now. I believe it has a strong push on property as investments.

It is maybe a better route to look at 'three fund portfolio' low cost ETF/mutual fund strategies.

Investment blogs such as Mr Money Mustache may also be a good road into a good long term investment strategy.

That's just a lie. I could reel off about 20 or 30, many of which were the centerpiece of a presidential campaign.

* Raise minimum wage.

* Implement 100% LVT.

* Water down intellectual property laws.

* Water down laws that attack unions (e.g. 'right' to work).

* Strengthen laws that allow unions to organize.

* Remove carried interest rule.

* Implement a job guarantee.

* Make trade deals with other countries contingent on ^^^ this stuff happening in those countries too.

Unfortunately, left economists who can make a case for policies like this are consistently shouted down by the 'respectable' economists who predict austerity will cause growth 7 years in a row (any day now!) and catastrophic job losses will be the only result of raising the minimum wage. Those who make being usefully wrong a profession, in other words.

Are you aware that the authors are the least privileged in current copyright laws ?

Where I live the state even invented a special tax on digital supports (USB, Hard Drives, etc...) to "favor the authors" because of "piracy". Never met a single author that benefited from that. And trust me I know a lot of them.

Copyright laws were made, and exist, to privilege the industry (which does include authors, at the bottom, if you scrap hard enough).

Just read through the legal code of your country and try to place the "so many" who "work so hard on their craft" along the lines.
Are they going to come after the private trackers after this? The numbers are relatively very small though. I would hate if that happens.

I pay for content whenever I can but those trackers provide me with stuff I mostly never get anywhere else (and in the format and size I want) even if I want to pay.
There is a concept called velocity of capital. The IMF believes that the current wealth distribution lowers that velocity, and thus weakens the economy [0]. How you distribute that money can be a matter of debate but the fact that it would be beneficial for most people to do so is not.

Music stars make most of their money out of concerts anyways, and selling music is actual way to make money by huge labels. But you surely knew that only 10% of each CD goes to actual performers.

And tbf - the only reason I am using torrents here in Europe is because there is no alternative. Netflix is 1/4th of what it is in US, there is no other services that would have huge library of movies and despite looking many times torrents are still the only option for someone who likes to see huge catalog of movies on demand.
