Google has refused to allow Amazon products to use their apps, like the Chromecast app, despite them being based on Android, and functionally compatible. Amazon does not want to sell products which are explicitly blocked from compatibility with their products. And I'd argue that's a reasonable position.

Being upset about Amazon's response here would be like throwing a fit you couldn't buy a charger for your Chromebook at an Apple Store, it just doesn't make any sense.

> Ignoring dividends, what intrinsic value do stocks have?

Voting rights, claim on corporate assets in the event of dissolution (coordinated use of the former can trigger the latter; though that's rare in practice because if you don't like the way the corporation is run, you usually just sell out.)

Dividends are, in effect, a periodic partial dissolution that a corporation has chosen to conduct.

> I'd be curious to know how the stock market, ignoring dividends, is not a zero sum game.

Er, because the sum of net returns is not fixed at zero, or fixed at all, so it's not a zero or even fixed sum game.
The beautiful thing about Phoenix framework is that there is no "one-true way" to do things. Rails is omakase, Phoenix is not, and that's a good thing.

You want the whole enchilada? Use Guardian.

Thanks for the thoughtful and persuasive reply. You're right, I'm male. And I was an adult (at least chronologically). However, although we were both just anonymous cowards on Usenet, I had "known" him for years, when this started. Basically, I stood up for others that he was attacking, and that pissed him off.

> It looks to me like you are saying "Well, I was able to handle it myself, so she is just a loser that she couldn't."

Sorry if it comes off that way. I did manage to handle it. But it took months of tedious work. Yet I didn't mind, because I was extremely angry about it. And I knew that I was learning stuff that would be useful later.

I'm not saying that she's a loser. I'm saying that she was socialized to be nice. To find aggression distasteful, as you said. I do strive to be peaceful, and I seek peaceful friends. But unfortunately, entirely nonviolent and peaceful people can end up as victims.

So what can victims do? Going to authorities doesn't seem to work very well. Filing a lawsuit, as Hatena did against Hill, is expensive. That's why I floated the idea of private enforcement. Rather like PIs that take direct action against attackers. Instead of doxxing attackers personally, as puellavulnerata and I did, victims could hire consultants to manage it.

To avoid liability, there could be "Assassination Politics" type services. Attackers typically have multiple victims, so there would be multiple contributors. Who would, of course, be kept anonymous. The front end could be an easy-to-use app. And the service would be compartmentalized, with staff who verify allegations being fully anonymous, and firewalled fully from anonymous staff who handle action against attackers.

> To take that to its logical conclusion, if you are being harassed by a serious nutcase, it may be a situation where killing them is the only real way to put a stop to their behavior.

Well, the first draft of my first post in this thread did include a sentence about having a group of friends with baseball bats pay this jerk a visit ;) But arguably, measures well short of death will stop most stalkers. Shaming to family and friends often does it. Or trashing their career, as puellavulnerata did. My stalker was a well-respected academic, and he was utterly freaked when I confronted him at his university email address.
Well you're just delegating the issue to the framework then, it doesn't really change what I said. If the framework is written in C++ it'll have to be written very carefully and thoroughly validated.

If the framework is written in a safer language then it's not much different than if you write a web application in, say, Django where you call native C and C++ modules. That's very common.
> But honestly, I wasn't trying to engage with that poster: I was trying to engage with readers

That's a valid reason to respond as you did. It was my assumption that you were targeting that towards the parent which was in error.

> I was trying to engage with readers, by fighting this kind of nonsense simply by calling it out as such.

That works well for getting people who agree with you to take notice. Unfortunately, if you don't use that to make a new argument to those that already agree with you, you're just preaching to the choir. I don't really have a problem with that, and I wouldn't have called it out if I interpreted it as that, but I also don't think it's all that productive (that's not really meant to be a critique, I'm just explaining my personal point of view on this at this point).

> His claim itself is so vague and unsupported that it's more of an emotional feeling than an opinion that can be criticized. Perhaps someone better than me should try.

When I can summon the strength myself to engage, I find that asking for more details and asking people to actually explain in more detail their belief works well. Often I find that what initially seems like an opinion completely unfounded in facts has some basis, but people are reluctant to go into them because of dismissive responses.

I'm sure we all have a few opinions like that, where we would love to have a good discussion on it, but it's become decisive enough that trying to start a substantive conversation and keep it one track is hard when people make large assumptions about the details of your opinion without actually asking. For example, try starting a conversation on actual differences in how the brain functions between the sexes, and whether that does or does not lead to specific advantages or disadvantages for one sec in certain types of thinking, and whether that advantage if it exists is completely subsumed by environmental factors. I suspect that conversation will quickly approach uselessness if it gets any traction. Some discussions still have far too much cultural and social baggage to happen fruitfully in public, even here, where I'm sure a larger than normal percentage of people would identify as rational intellectuals.

As they've focused more and more on third-party resellers and rebranded/white labeled products their store experience has gone down-hill.

Search for something specific like "white nike hightops" and maybe 30% of the results will be what you are looking for. Even if you navigate through their categories to "Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry : Men : Shoes : Athletic : White", 20% of the results are not white athletic shoes for men.

The relevance tanks even further if you're searching for specific computer components -- I have fled to NewEgg or NCIX for this purpose.

systemd is great, since I started using it about a year ago, never looked back. I like the fact that with a single service file, I have: well... services, services with dependencies, logging, automatic restarts, timers (no more cron, yay), sane pre-start, post-start and such.

Show me a viable, repeatably working alternative, I might consider. Until then I really don't care if it's the "UNIX philosophy". I used upstart, init and runit before. runit was close but there was just so much fiddling with it. Upstart kinda worked. init is init.

systemd just works - it does one thing well: allows me to launch my services reliably without having to install, configure and maintain tons of little fiddly bits to make the system work.

This is not the right way to look at the issue. If the low-level data itself can not be made any more convincing, the only real option is to ignore staunch deniers. The right way to look at this, given the way it has been politicized, is to look from the perspective of any proposed policy change. And then for each given change, be sure that the evidence and arguments are solid at all levels of the discussion. That is:

1. The observed climate data is valid and complete.

2. The predictive models are reliable and sufficiently comprehensive and objective.

3. Specific problems are clearly articulated.

4. Proposed policies will solve the clearly articulated problems.

5. The proposed solution is realistic to implement worldwide, wont' have any unexpected side-effects, and won't cause worse problems than the problems it's solving. Negative side-effects should be acknowledged and addressed as best as possible.

While I have seen arguments that at least touch on most of those points, it's very difficult to arrive at level 5 and not have ANY room for mistakes or legitimate differences of opinion and perspective. So while it's nice to bitch and moan about the wild conspiracy theorists challenging the facts established at the lowest level, the opposition is just as justified bitching and moaning about all the political actors who have already decided what solution they want, and are just doing whatever they can to make sure that solution becomes policy, no matter the consequences.

That number looks worse than it is. Many of the deaths were elderly people who already were of poor health, and would not have lived for long if that heat wave hadn't occurred.

A way to show that is true is by looking at the death rate shortly _after_ that heat wave; it is slightly lower than expected.

If you want to compare this number with e.g. car accidents, it would be better to count QALY's lost (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality-adjusted_life_year), rather than deaths.

Na that's a bunch of BS Amazon came up with to validate their position. There is nothing stopping Amazon from putting Chromecast app support other than Amazon. The only thing I can guess is Amazon wanted chromecast to enable support for their player format and chromecast didnt'.
> But through direct supply and their fulfillment program they can get products to consumers insanely fast for zero cost.

What do you mean zero cost? They still have to pay for mail, right?

When I order a product from a random small internet shop, it also arrives usually within 1-3 days. I don't see the difference with Amazon, except that I have to find that small shop through a Google search, whereas I can order on Amazon directly.
The ordering systems works fantastically given the volume, Prime shipping is huge, and their inventory really is broader.

The combination of (a) not needing to log in again to place an order (b) most things I'm interested in ordering being in their inventory (c) receiving most orders within 48 hours (and many within 24) is really potent. I've placed maybe a half-dozen non-Amazon orders online in the last six months, and apparently 163 with Amazon.

When possible, I avoid anything that's not fulfilled by Amazon due to point (c) above -- I'll find alternatives or even pay slightly more to get prime shipping.
I don't mean to heap on you, but do you know of any actual cases where it's happened? (Apologies, for not reading the whole thread, headed out the door...)

It seems quite interesting as a concept what a company is once it's bought and traded. What, exactly, is the precedence of interests? Is it state-first? Or owner-first? Or maybe a combination of the two?

Are you kidding me? Did you see how many articles there are in that search result? Over 30 at the very least. What I was implying by giving the link was, there is overwhelming evidence, not that I'm lazy, but that people who ask "for a source" are often too damn lazy to even type into a search engine. I might as well have sent a LMGTFY link. I would expect a little more intellectual effort out of ycombinator readers, but I suppose that's how it goes these days. Everyone wants a hand out.

Stocks are set up to have some sort of inherent value tied to the company, or nobody would buy them. The typical ways are dividends paid out of profits, company buyouts, and the on hand assets of the company that can be sold. The market is just a pricing mechanism around all that.

> choosing Rust for your next project will destroy the productivity of your team.

So would be Python, JavaScript, Go or any new language you pick for your future project ! Of course you won't immediately be as productive with a language you just learned that you were with a language you've been using for 5 years. But once you have a good grasp on the standard library, how to idiomatically structure your code and the tooling in general you can be pretty productive with rust nowadays.

Of course the ecosystem isn't mature in every fields, so you need to check if there are existing libraries / framework for what your trying to do, but that's what you should do in any language anyway : I don't think I would recommend NodeJS for developing cross-platform Qt GUI …

In my experience, writing CLI tools with Rust is really cool !

This has been happening for a few years now: "Verisign announced an increase in the annual fee for a .net domain name registration from $7.46 to $8.20., per its agreement with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). .Net price is now higher than the .com price that is frozen at $7.85 until at least 2018.

Monopolistic behavior, like buying out a competitor when there are very few players, CAN be bad for consumers, and should be stopped.

But price dumping to drive out competitors is fantasy boogieman strategy that basically never works. There has to be huge barriers to entry, for it to work. Because if there aren't, then a competitor can just jump back into the market when the prices rise again. It is just not a profitable strategy for a monopoly to engage in.

Price dumping just result in lower prices for consumers.
