Makes sense to me. If they ever want to be able to retire their 2G or 3G networks then they need LTE only feature phones.
A much better implementation of this would be to inspect the data that users are requesting, then analyze the price difference between products they are looking at online vs in-store and then dynamically change the price in real time.

Amazon definitely has the technology to make this happen.
That would show em!
I'd take Sweden over Singapore anytime.

I mean, I like Singapore, but I'm not a fan of having one party that runs everything, the draconian drug laws and wide application of the death penalty. It's also worth pointing out that large numbers of the wealthy have left HK (and been replaced by transplants from China) and a similar trend has been happening in SG for decades
What is Lyra?
Granted this is a totally inadequate solution, but in all cases where I've made an online order from a reputable seller and wanted to cancel it before it shipped, I have been able to call the business over the phone, provide them with the invoice number, and successfully cancel the order. I've only had problems in cases where "I should have known better than to order on that site" to begin with.

Who do you think would think fund the "Only the poor still smoke" campaign? It looks really bad from a PR perspective.
It's standard operating procedure for network filters - redirecting inappropriate content requests to a "this site is not allowed" page.

As long as you're not being deceptive (e.g., inserting your own content, changing other content, changing prices), blocking and redirecting is probably fine.
> Their brand image is a big turn-off for the upper-middle class yuppies who make up the majority of tech talent.

I like to think that too, but a lot of it is all talk. I used to work with this dude in Boulder who was really into virtue signaling. Did all the right Boulder things, shopped at the right Boulder places, drove the Boulder car that showed you "cared", but just couldn't give up that cheap Walmart cell phone coverage. His attitude was "well it's a dirty secret no one has to know", which coincidentally(?) sums up Boulder fairly tidily.

I'll note that for many cases these days, there is an incentive to enhance efficiency. Alternative fee arrangements, e.g. fixed monthly fee irrespective of hours, are getting more and more common, particularly with regard to big corps that get sued regularly over the same sorts of cases. Not even commodity work even--these are complex cases for Fortune 100 companies handled by well-regarded firms.
Why should he have to know what an adversarial network our the other technologies are to trade crypto-currencies? That's like me complaining that people investing in the dollar or stocks don't understand the intricacies of the Fed machinations or NYSE complex order types.
That's pretty standard pricing (look at DO block storage or Vultr's offerings). Keep in mind that this is true block storage, not document or object storage. You can mount object storage, sure-but it's always going to be less reliable than actual block storage.
Block storage is completely different from object storage (S3). You're comparing apples and Volkswagens. This competes with ebs, except with more redundancy.
OP here. I'm not using Gmail (anymore), but not because it was hard to set up(;

I think it's reasonable to think "tampering" means surreptitious modification of traffic. If they're up-front about what they're doing then it's just the cost of using their service.
An encrypted connection like https should be able to prevent this, however.
Why would I want to go through the hassle of requesting a new non-password to be sent to my email, wait to receive my non-password, and then log in using that non-password every single time I want to log in? I will happily let my web-browser remember my password, or store it in a password manager if it needs to be secured.

Prussia was also a highly militaristic state, so it had the side benefit of keeping the young men fit and hearty enough to get conscripted for the next time they needed to bloody France's nose. It would also have the young women fit enough to bear many much young men that they could conscript into future wars.

The logic of trench warfare era militarism is even more depressing than the normal logic of war. It's mind-boggling to think leaders figured it was appropriate to just throw demographically significant numbers of 16-20 year old boys into a meat-grinder just to keep the machinery of colonialist industry well greased.

Totally agreed with regard to 1). Coffee shops, schools, and airplanes all block certain websites. It may be unfortunate but it's clearly not illegal. It's their wifi and they can do with it what they please.

Now I can understand if it said anywhere that it would actual tamper with traffic then it could be illegal, but as it stands it just says it might block or redirect them. Sounds like a pretty standard firewall to me.

It's worth pointing out that the purchase, as based on today's price action, was effectively "free".

This explanation I can buy. Nobody is treating like a currency. They keep wanting it to appreciate because they see it a cool tech-related commodity.
I try to not waste plant life. It's why I won't buy a live Christmas tree. Someone was just telling me how they kill their succulents and just buy new ones. That was about as offensive to me as if someone joked about how they kill their pet dogs all the time but buy new ones.
Considering they mostly offer known VOIP numbers from twilio and likes and smsprivacy.org charges an UTTERLY INSANE $50 per day for physical numbers https://smsprivacy.org/buy-number/physical/GB I can't imagine them being too popular.

> That's great and all, but it doesn't give me insight into specific things I could improve for the next interview.

This is where I have an issue - it presumes that the interviewer knows more than you! They might, but the next interview might care about a completely different set of issues. That's why I suggest limiting the importance on feedback there. It's as good as the person giving you feedback, and you don't have much to go by on that. You also don't know if it's the whole story or the whole truth.

> I get that they don't owe it to me to provide that feedback, and there is no incentive for them to. But it's a nice to have.

I agree it's nice to have. I'd probably provide it if I did whiteboard interviews.
Based on the comments in this thread, it seems like there was some sort of instruction for all the students to come here and post about their experience, which has resulted in a complete non-discussion.

Bonobos sells itself as an affordable yet fashion-forward brand, so perhaps you're just not the target consumer?
Whatever else is wrong with it the Kindle store is incredibly convenient in a way that sideloading books isn't. I can tether to my phone and get a book instantly wherever I happen to be at the moment.
>Finally, I can show you cultures, such as the Inuit, who's diet is almost exclusively saturated fat and protein and which are healthy (as long as they stick to their native diet). I challenge anyone to show me a culture who's diet is primarily sugar-based which has comparable health.

Eating fresh raw meat you actually do consume copious sugars in the form of the raw glycogen stores of the now dead animal.

>For instance, when blubber is analyzed by direct carbohydrate measurements, it has been shown to contain as much as 8—30% carbohydrates

But, I bet there is a world of difference to how our bodies process dietary glycogen and plant-sourced carbohydrates.
I probably should have clarified that my analogy was coming from a perspective of super-deterministic[1] compatibilism[2]. In the absence of knowing the truth, I feel that solution is the best model / explanation. It strips away the 'spookiness' and many other problems, though it admittedly has its own issues with testability and proof.

I do not believe in the idea that particles can super-luminally affect each other during the moment of observation. I think that is a failing of our measurement systems and ability to describe what's going on. Just as we often fail to accurately convey the Schrodinger's Cat thought experiment [3].

But for the record, if a different perspective were definitively proven to be true, I would of course switch to it, as any scientist should. But given that there are multiple avenues of investigation open, I'm exploring super-deterministic compatibilism.

That surely makes a lot of sense. But in theory at least, Amazon's fulfillment platform is supposed to be the solution for retailing the "long tail", and it had worked very well in regular e-commerce.

So why did it fail with food ?
Ask HN: Have you ever seen a “tech-less” developer resume?
Just now, I was toying with the idea of writing a resume that described my development work that didn't try to hide my experiences behind tech keywords. I'm going to try it, but I think it'll be hard.

When you take away the buzzwords, a tech resume becomes kind of bland. The phrase "built an e-commerce app using Ember & Rails" becomes the largely useless "built an e-commerce app".

Have you ever seen a resume that intentionally left out specific references to programming languages and other technologies used? I wonder if that format would even be useful.
Agreed, having tried both RS1 and RS2 (with and without extra earpads). At this price point you have comfy circumaural pads from all other open-back models, while Grado is stuck with supra-aural.
"you have opened yourself up to a responsibility to think critically about those whom you have dismissed"

I don't think I dismissed anyone. People make bad decisions on things they are in control of and it makes them more poor. The rich have more self control -- maybe not. Those with good self control tend to be better off -- definitely.

I'm all for the argument that smoking is a rational choice for someone without a lot of money. There is also the compelling argument that poor impulse control, being poor and smoking have a strong correlation. Maybe even as a common cause for poverty and smoking.

Having watched friends spend entire paychecks drinking, smoking, having unprotected sex (with the inevitable consequences), buying new camaros at blistering interest rates, fleetingly fashionable clothes -- I somehow think that my choice to eat mountains of rice and beans and live with roommates somehow had something to do with my relative success.

Sure, you can tell some people it's not their fault, but absolving everyone of responsibility for their choices is not helping them at all.
Neither HTTPS nor net neutrality would prevent this. VPNs are a whole can of worms for the average consumer.

Also, it'd be legal to intercept or block traffic. It wouldn't be legal to change a competitor's website.
Dreams are how major progress is made, which is important when people realize incremental progress just won't cut it.

I did look into Gnus and saw some amazing features there.

However, mu4e is pretty straight forward and has a strong search engine included which means that I can use my setup on both Linux and the Mac. As I understand, I would need to set up a local mail server for Gnus if I wanted reasonably fast search. Having multiple (and sometimes changing) mail accounts that I would need to configure on multiple OSs kept me from doing that.

So to me, mu4e is easier, though Gnus might be simpler in the true sense of the word.

Not saying that Gnus doesn't have merit, though. It's a fascinating piece of engineering. And when I get older (already old^^), and only have one business running in parallel and no more need for the Mac, I'll probably switch(;

>This is bad and dangerous advice that can potentially put people in trouble. As I said elsewhere in this thread: If you don't use the Tor Browser you're exposing yourself to all the fingerprinting attacks that the Tor Browser tries to protect from: https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/

And if you do use Tor Browser you're exposing yourself to an old insecure browser. This situation has dramatically improved recently, but it's still far from optimal.

I think for most people fingerprinting is the far lesser threat, especially when discussing an install that'll presumably always remain behind Tor.

>Not only that, using the particular setup you're describing, you wont have stream isolation, so all of your website browsing can be watched by a single exit node (whereas with the Tor Browser each site has its own circuit) which makes correlation attacks much damaging (whole browsing history in a session vs 1 site).

Both Firefox and Chrome should grab KDEs proxy settings and therefore automatically benefit from stream isolation on Whonix, no?
i don't think it'll change much. it's in Amazons best interest to keep whole foods the same. any changes to its culture would make them lose even more customers and whole foods has been on a decline the past few months.

In the U.S., the TJ Maxx and Marshall's liquidation department stores often carry it in the winter.

The most poignant comment from anyone to whom I have introduced it was "a flower shop just exploded in my mouth."

I am partial to the rose flavor, but I am reaching the age where I must watch my sugar intake, so it is a rare indulgence.

I'm surprised that (german grocer) Aldi doesn't carry it. They always have Turkish dried apricots, and a number of odd confections in the winter.
They absolutely exist. The question is whether they can be reliably fabricated in volume without having loads of faulty units and hopefully, to not be ridiculously expensive.
On what basis?
I'm drawing a fine line and doing a bad job of it. I think feedback is good, but I don't want to overvalue the feedback from the interviewer. That message is going to be specific to that hiring manager and organization, and some stuff might be made up because it's safer to say you did poorly on the whiteboard coding than it is to say you weren't a cultural fit. So even if you get feedback there, it may be to backfill the reason for not hiring you that they might not actually want to share.

Objective eyes are good. Do the exercise with someone disinterested and see what they say. It's not that feedback isn't valuable, it's that the value from the interviewer is limited for the reasons above.
Prior to circa 2005, people managed to get by just fine without companywide calendars clogged with irrelevant PTO days, etc.

Modern shared calendars arguably provide negative value versus simply keeping a private calendar.
A surprising number of Americans think that cows just produce milk all the time and 'need' to be milked. As opposed to them being, well, mammals, who only lactate after pregnancy and are thus regularly inseminated in rape racks (industry term) to keep them lactating until they're no longer useful then killed.

A surprising number of Americans think baby cows get some of that milk from their moms. As opposed to baby males being killed soon after birth as veal and baby females raised on hormone cocktails to continue the cycle of forced labor and death of their mothers.
Thanks so much for your work, this is amazing.

Is there an API so that people can download the books (and help by offering a public mirror)? (example for Gutenberg:
http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:Mirroring_How-To)
This is wrong on a fundamental level.

Humanity has always looked to colonize places seemingly on the margin of livability. Northern Europe, the arctic, the Eurasian steppes, etc. Our ability to live and thrive in different environments has come concomitant with our development of the technology to do so. We push to new environments because we can, we develop technology to better live in new environments because we're there, it goes hand in hand.

Living in the Sahara (aside from all the other problems) is not living on Mars, it won't depend on and push the development of technology for living off-Earth. Living on Mars will be hard. Harder than many people appreciate today. But the more we do it the easier it will get, and the faster our technology will advance for living off-Earth. By living on Mars we'll unlock our ability to live not just there but in space and on other planets. Colonizing Mars won't just give us Mars, it'll give us the stars. It'll kickstart the development of technologies that will enable self-reliant space habitats, which will give us, eventually, generation ships, and will also feedback to improving life on Earth (better recycling systems, better power systems, things we can't even envision today). That doesn't happen if you just try to spread out on Earth more.
He's being downvoted for the following unsubstantiated statement:

(offtopic - misunderstood comment. Let's assume the parent comment said 'we should prevent bruteforcing')

As the other commenter said, there's nothing you can do to prevent brute forcing. What you can do, is have a very expensive KDF. So for every password you enter the wallet will take a very long time to 'unlock', which is basically the process of deriving the key from the input.

'Expensive KDF' sounds cryptic, but often just having some memory/CPU requirements for an instance of the KDF should suffice.

Fun fact: There is a reason why when you enter a wrong password for `su` or `sudo` it seems to take longer to throw the wrong password dialogue than to log you in. That's because the password authentication module (called PAM) artificially delays you to prevent brute forcing. You can go and change it if you want. (I would discourage it)

Of course, this won't stop everyone. One can just put the harddrive in a different computer to get the hash of the password and crack it within a day with proper resources. This is the problem with trying to 'stop' bruteforcing at the input level. You must already asssume the attacker has the hash, then the difficulty must be determined. That's the point of people arguing about password hashes (for fun, of course)

I saw that, but IMO, a service like this that is advertised online, as you do, needs a privacy statement from the moment it goes live.

It doesn't have to be one that is vetted by a dozen attorneys; that's for if the site really takes of, but how hard is it to write down whether/how often humans looks at the images uploaded, and whether/for how long they are kept around?

Among educated people able to afford and read a copy of Eratosthenes yes, but there were probably a lot of ordinary people that were not literate and were never exposed to any actual evidence to the contrary，who believed it was flat.

They (Walmart Labs) do pay pretty decently. In all honesty, the solution may just be a total rebranding of Walmart's online platform and development team. If it were called "Bazaar" or something equally sexy, they could probably attract not only more talent, but more shoppers in the millenial demographic.

If their upper management has any smarts, they have to know all the connotations and baggage that go along with the name Walmart. I don't think it's a brand they can hang on to forever.
