Third party sellers are a a cash cow - they take all the risks and Amazon is just a middleman. They make up half of Amazon's sales. Amazon's ultimate game plan may be to drop their retail business altogether and become just a logistics company.

It depends.

A software dev with a month of slush fund in the bank and a wife who can mostly manage the household is in a very good position to keep their mouth shut on principal, especially if the facts of the case are something the larger community can empathize with.

People will fund a kickstarter to pay your rent while you're in jail if you're in jail for a good reason. Getting publicity is the hard part.
As I said, that's measured using coinmarketcap and of course the exact value is only speculation. But it's currently far from negligible.

> So unless you're arguing that Coinbase should be liable for not creating an exchange for BCH then the argument that anyone has lost out on money has zero merit.

That's only with the assumption that no exchanges will ever allow BCH deposits, that you cannot sell them OTC nor buy things with it.
The flip-side seems to be that if you close Slack for a few hours of focussed work on something tricky, that's counted the same as spending the afternoon at the beach.

Sure, communication is important, but there are relatively few things that can't wait half a day (and for those, there are alternative channels if you're not on Slack)
I am stockpiling industrial amounts of popcorn for the (not too distant) future debates around the question: should we take into account the inherently limited capabilities of the human mind when defining the concept of "proof"?

To be sure, myself I am very much a classicist of the old school when it comes to such matters. But this is a brave new world we are slowly but surely moving into.
What is WOT in this context? I thought Debian required that you register with them, not that there was some other trust threshold.

This is disheartening to hear. We recently (<3 months ago), introduced Btrfs into part of our fleet. This probably made us one of the larger Btrfs users. If Btrfs falls out of general favour, I'm afraid it may impede our ability to keep using it.

Given our use-case, multi-tenant containers, there weren't many choices which had sane snapshotting support, as well as quotas and some level of subtrees. ZFS on Linux has its own share of issues. I won't say that Btrfs was without issues -- there is still a lot of performance work that needs to be done, especially in a multi-tenant workload, but it looked like there were solutions available.

XFS is an excellent filesystem, and it may work well for our usecase in the near future. It's exciting to see new XFS features landing, like reflinks, and collapsing ranges. Hopefully, folks like Redhat continue trying to bring XFS to the future.

Sounds a lot like the Cartoon Network I was addicted to as a kid. When I watch some of those cartoons and understand the subtextual jokes ... damn that shit was pervy and weird.

As a kid I had no idea. Didn't even notice, I just liked it when the Coyote got flattened, Dexter's experiment blew up, and Jerry hit Tom with a baseball bat.
They filled that hole by only using screening; they didn't enhance anyone, they just picked the best embryos. You could claim that it is unrealistic that they would be able to do advanced screening but not able to do any changes.

Convolution is generic signal-processing. It's quite common to use a one-dimensional convolution for audio filters, it would work perfectly fine as a bass filter for example.

However, 2D conv+maxpool is an image processing technique that gets you translation invariance. Fine for the time dimension of the spectrogram, but rather dubious for the frequency axis. Surely you'd want to distinguish if some feature happens at a high or low frequency?

Yeah same here. On the one hand people deserve a second chance and it just happens that someone can get sucked into a stupid situation.

On the other hand when someone boldly ignored certain moral rules, will the person continue to do so? I think it's pretty serious when someone else had to suffer because of that.
> you can reject any messages that don't validate against their signature when merging.

That's not really what I meant by "bad". I meant bad as in intent, not structural and immediately verifiable message integrity.

If all entities in the coalescing set can independently verify that a message does not meet its signature requirements, it will be rejected and idempotence is maintained.

If ONE member is somehow deceived about key validity it'll propagate the message into every other member's state, eventually.
Not to mention 80% of the hash power seems to be controlled by one entity. They could roll back tx arbitrarily.

Does it depend on whether Coinbase is a fiduciary? Gemini, for example, represents that they are[1], but I find no such claim by Coinbase.

Edit: A fiduciary would (AIUI) not be allowed to keep shares from a spinoff, which this seems like. But I'm no expert.

Please. Don't be a pedant, you're not advancing any meaningful points. It should be obvious that in the context of this discussion, we are talking about the developed Western world.
I agree. Frankly I'm shocked it even got this far. Who on Coinbase's legal team gave the okay for such an insane directive? You can't just give customers a 10 day ultimatum to withdraw their funds or forfeit them. An exchange in the public market that attempted that would be sued into oblivion.

Furthermore how are they getting by on their justification? You don't need to allow trading for new cryptocurrencies to be disbursable. You just need to send them to customers.

> The US has about 4.4 percent of the global population and about 22 percent of the global prison population. So either we are seriously fucking up as a country and incapable of producing decent human beings, or our entire justice system is broken.

Note that that's not an exclusive or; both can be true, and it's even plausible that there's a positive feedback loop between the two—that is, we have worse people because of our massive imprisonment, and can't get political support to end mass imprisonment because people correctly fear the near-term results given the way in which those in in prison are socialized (and even often preferring more imprisonment from perfectly legitimate fears of the way many people not in prison are socialized due to our mass imprisonment system.)

Which isn't to say we shouldn't bite the bullet and end the system, but just that we'll have lots of near term problems when we do and lots of political difficulty in actually doing it.

To be clear, I think that Deis is using helm under the hood too, but you never have to interact with helm or your chart.

Draft is written so you could probably avoid ever running the helm client, but it is a much thinner layer of sugar on top. You are very near the helm charts, but in Deis you might never even realize that there are helm releases associated with your app. The Deis client interface is pretty fully featured, almost drop-in as a comparison to heroku client. Using Draft, you are encouraged to edit your charts, but with Deis it is well-hidden and there is probably never any need to do that.

Service brokers (for supporting dynamic allocation of things like shared instances of postgres and redis, like you get with heroku) are a thing, but they are newer and I have not seen them being used in practice yet.

The last major component, and ‘secret weapon’ or ‘unofficial guide’ (according to me) is the the test suite in the official repo (https://github.com/diesel-rs/diesel/tree/master/diesel_tests).

The tests are indeed informative, and give a good idea of how it would be used in practice. I just looked at a few and I have a much better idea of how Diesel looks to be used in practice.

What I didn't see, and don't know if it exists since I haven't read a lot of the docs, is whether Diesel has a built in way to deliver joined results as HashMaps with all fields, as that would be the simplest way I would use it in practice.

For example, if I'm doing the equivalent of:

SELECT user.*, post.*, comment.* FROM user LEFT JOIN post ON user.id = post.user_id LEFT JOIN comment ON post.id = comment.post_id

Does it have a helper method to identify the three tables that are joined, and instead of returning individual rows, return a HashMap of the user_id to user, a HashMap of the user_id to a list of posts, and a HashMap of the post_id to a list of comments? I think that would be:

vec![ HashMap<i32,User>, HashMap<i32,Vec<Post>>, HashMap<i32,Vec<Comment>> ]

This would approximate the actual "objectiness" or many ORMs, and would make it easier to loop over data in the desired way with a minimum of boilerplate.

Edit: Or perhaps the more performant way would be to allow registering of callbacks for each change of user, post and comment, and call the appropriate one if defined. That way there isn't time and memory spent on condensing the data into hashmaps? I'm new to thinking about how to deal with ORM results in a language like this.
> So, it's a definitely a nice-to-have, but not something i need, because i can handle dpkg/apt much better then i could handle filesystem internals.

I don't think you're seeing my point. You wouldn't have do anything -- it would all be done automatically as long as your file system supports snapshots.

BTW, to your "I know how to use dpkg/apt": It's not about knowledge. I could well be said to be at an "advanced" level of expertise in system maintenance, but "system upgrade" fuckups had nothing to do with me, but everything to with bad packaging and/or weird circumstances such as a dist-upgrade failing midway through because some idiot cut a cable somewhere in my neighborhood.

While Nix and the like are nice and all, they're currently suffering from a distinct lack of manpower relative to the major distributions. They also don't quite fully solve the "atomic update" problem, but that's a tangent. Then, OTOH, some of them have other advantages such as the easy of maintaining your full system config in e.g. Git. Swings and roundabouts on that front. FS support for snapshots would help everybody.
> You're arguing legalese but I'm arguing morals and ideals.

Sure you are. Except... you tie them specifically to the American interpretation. Which is firmly rooted in the Constitution/1st amendment, and what our founders thought about it.

Quoth: "But I was raised like a good little patriotic American boy, so I value free speech pretty damn highly"

So, either you subscribe to those specific values, or you should scrub the patriotic rah-rah from your argument.

> Instead of 'any and all' and 'amplify', how about 'dominant' and 'not suppress'?

Nobody "suppresses" anything. If you want to be a white supremacist, host your own server. These platforms are private entities - they get to choose who is welcome. (cf https://xkcd.com/1357/)

> Is it really that dangerous to let people express themselves?

Yes. Once a line is crossed, because at that point it turns from speech to acts of aggression utilizing speech. As I said above, everybody arguing free speech understood that back when we decided what basic rights we wanted or didn't want.

And please don't argue "slippery slope", because that's a strawman. There's a very clearly recognizable line from free speech to hate speech, be it white supremacy, gay bashing, nazism, or ISIS. And the vast majority of people is perfectly capable of recognizing that line

I m creating my own dashboard to see my business Stripe numbers and analytics better. I am aware of services like baremetrics but they don't cover my use case (custom subscription logic in my own app and stripe is only used for processing payments).

So far, I only got to building a simple chart for calculating Monthly Run Rate (MRR) but will build few more things like Churn rate, Customer growth % etc. I also will add some analytics like where my customers are coming from (google analytics sort of integration) all in one place.

Yeah. I learned fascinating things from Wikipedia, learned to develop, which led to working in tech which I am thankful for. But I also went from reading novels for 12 hours a day to browsing reddit for 12 hours a day, which did a number on my brain. Deeply regret it.
Very interesting approach. And it is always great to see teams provide actual pre-trained models. The less work people have to put in to reproduce your claims, the more likely you are to be taken seriously.

The code unfortunately returns a 404 for now. Hopefully, that is fixed soon.
What is it about `let` that makes it so hard to implement?
the "Distance Selling Regulation" means we have the right to cancel many contracts/purchases made not-in-person within 14 days of delivery.

First of all, the Consumer Contracts Directive replaced that in 2014, no?

Second, how exactly would this have protected the buyer? Maybe no restocking fee and only difference between free and basic shipping? In EU, does seller HAVE to pay for return shipping?

Third, you know that "protection" isn't free, right? You're paying for that in terms of higher prices and lost economic opportunities.

Finally, the pro-EU, anti-US condescension laced with pity is so tiresome and ignorant. We get it, things work differently there. Some are better, some worse. It's hardly paradise.

(For the record, I've lived in the US and the EU.)
Fantastic suggestions for these folks!

Coinbase will likely allow users to withdraw their BCH, but not exchange it, so they'll have to go elsewhere. They did the exact same thing with Ethereum Classic (after the price dropped like 80% from the initial spike, no less), and they ended support for those withdrawals at the end of 2016. To handle this fork differently could invite another lawsuit.
Actually it was proving that being clever you can cheat the system. He showed, several time, why he wasn't as capable and probably put everyone on the mission in jeopardy because of it (Do they have contact lens replacements in space when no one else needs them? Probably not.)

Amazon's policy says you have to respond to buyer's inquiries within 24 hours. You literary had to just reply "Sorry my return policy is 30 days and it's been 40 days." One single sentence and you probably could have avoided the return completely. You could do that in bed. What did you think would happen if you ignored the buyer? Of course they are going to complain to Amazon.

Just to clarify: bitcoin cash (BCH) is only sortof worth $700. There aren't any mainstream exchanges accepting BCH deposits right now, so the market for BCH is limited mostly to people on kraken trading BCH with one another there only.

The exchanges that are accepting BCH require 20 confirmations on your BCH deposit before they let you withdraw the BTC/XBT you traded them for. 20 confirmations right now would take multiple days. The exchanges offering this also seem to have pretty lax identity requirements, which is not a great sign.
Thank you for sharing this. The last time I started trying to use Hy, I felt like I was basically writing Python but wrapped in parens -- I felt like I was doing something wrong, but couldn't place what it was, so it's nice to see a non-toy implementation that demonstrates what one can do with it.
This is a library for development. If you wanted to ship a client based on this, you could do that and package it with the Java runtime.
I'm not seeing the consistency in your arms race argument. I don't have a lot of hope that the more intelligent children will decide that war sucks - odds are at least 1 country in this hypothetical arms race would spend significant resources on more aggressive, order-following soldiers to do the bidding of people who still want war.

It's nothing to do with religious reasons for me - I just categorically reject the idea that many of the categories of "disorder" are things that humanity would just be better off without. Is life harder with, say, Down's syndrome? Sure. Is life harder as, say, a homosexual? In many places, sure. Would the world be a better place if we managed to eliminate these traits? You really wanna make that statement? I'm really curious to know where you see a completely objective line to draw here.

That said, I don't feel bad that my son prefers playing/building in Minecraft to Lego (although he does that too) and started relatively early. For us, any activity that isn't passive media consumption is a win.

Our AWS rep is nice and cheery. He'll come into our office twice a year and bring sales engineers to hear about our upcoming projects. There's one lead developer on our team who keeps imagining systems that use half a dozen AWS services for "big data". The AWS dudes always end up talking to him the most and they definitely bait him with various pitches and, of course, feed his ego. Good thing that he's so disorganized and delayed that he never has a chance to waste company money on all that bullshit.
Buying clothing on Amazon is also hell. I suspect that some vendors deliberately mis-size their items. For the extreme majority of items around $20-30, I don't bother returning them.

If Amazon's purchasing experience was smoother, I'd be doing less paranoid research ahead of time, looking up the company, trying to figure out if the reviews are fake. If only Amazon could shape up how much buyer's disadvantage I'm experiencing on their store, I'd be buying more often and more confidently, especially from anything other than popularly reviewed items.

Amazon needs to shape up their game because, yes, ordering online is convenient, but you can shop online at Walmart AND get the offline return assurance. And most stores price match Amazon now.
