Hmm...
Like I ask, what Overton window are you looking through?

Answer: the US one, where there's been 80 years of anti-communist, anti-socialist propaganda to turn "liberal" and "progressive" into slurs and to keep people from knowing what "the left" really means.

The UK standard in this regard is shared with most of the rest of Europe and the European ex-colonies (South America, Australia, South Africa, etc.) It's the US which is the odd-one-out.
That's besides the point. It's the reason open source projects should not depend on centralized sites like github or any other site that make this kind of disruptive automated dmca take down easy.

It should take much more legal effort and 'application of mind' to effect disruption.
I think it's even more useful with 20 stackoverflow tabs. I'd prefer knowing that a particular range of tabs is all stackoverflow, or all some other site. And I don't know why, but I never got into the habit of the pinch to view all tabs feature.

Another killer feature for me is that you can basically middle click anything and open it in a new tab, whether a bookmark, back button, etc. Makes some tasks very intuitive and trying to maintain the same workflow on Chrome is extremely frustrating. I cannot understand for the life of me why this isn't a native feature in Chrome.

That might be somewhat useful, but the thing is after a few hours your conversation with the other person is going to be no better than a private message (since no one else is going to see the topic). Web forums bump the topic back to the top, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the "news" angle. It might be interesting separating the two - have the submissions act like they do know, but have the comments for the submissions be in individual threads in a separate discussion forum.
As the other commentators on the posting pointed out. Stop pissing around with Amazon customer service (who are usually excellent) and perform a credit card charge back.
Amazon Mexico opened a few years back and my experience has been mostly negative precisely because most of the products are sold by third parties.

I just avoid amazon.mx and buy at amazon.com.

Even when buying at amazon.com I only buy products sold or handled by Amazon. I've also run into problems with scams, shipping, etc, with third parties.
Whoa! Yes, you are correct. Thanks!
If you widen JSON to be strictly pure JavaScript object and value literals (e.g. allow comments, non-string keys, use of constructor calls, etc) then JSON is more expressive because each child of a JSON object itself is a JSON object - whereas an XML element has two distinct types of children: child-elements and child-attributes, and the expressiveness of attributes is considerably limited compared to child-elements. Granted, JSON provides no inherent way to denote an attribute compared to a child element, but remember that XML restricts you to a single complex child element collection, whereas with JSON you can have multiple properties containing children (unless you want to argue that named element children could correspond with named complex properties in JSON - then it's just a matter of syntax).
It feels like it was a relatively 'quiet' scuffle when it comes to Hn discussion. I hope this post gets discussed without being buried.
I think you can probably boil impact down to several key metrics:

1) How many people are affected by the work of this agency

2) How quickly are peoples' needs handled on average

3) How pleased are people with the work of this agency

I think you could trivially measure each of those.

How would you go about that? Include a handful of links to blog posts on different topics and track what gets clicked most? In our experience including many links in an email can quickly land you in spam, so I'm curious how you'd go about this and get to a reasonable representation of people's interests. Would you rotate topics on say a weekly basis and track over time?

Sponsorted content and linking to it from the newsletter - that's an interesting idea. Thanks!
Absolutely not. Where even is the bug? It was a policy decision, and while an argument could be constructed that nobody could have known that they'd need to use greater geographic resolution in validating shipping destinations, they already had this data in the form of shipping addresses. This isn't a "640K should be enough for everybody" situation, it's a "nobody will ever want more than 640K" situation.
Nothing really. The agency is acting as intended, namely as a regulatory body serving the interests of the major industry players at the expense of minor operators and customers.

The best solution is to simply eliminate the agency.
not true, must be talking about different policies.

>but disdainful of these solicitors. It reflects poorly on them. To me they seem like people who don't understand what's happening but are anxious not to miss out on a new wave of get-rich-quick schemes.

This is an odd point of view to have. While op may see this as pressure because of imposter syndrome, I would have DREAMED of an opportunity like this in college.

These entrepreneur may not quite understand what they're getting into, but make no mistake, they are very good at recognizing experts, both established and rising [although they do cast a wide net] and this kind of behavior drives life changing opportunities and make it substantially easier, in a difficult world, for the cream of the crop to be unlocked to exceptional success at an early age. And the rising tide helps all of us.

The smartest people in college are usually the ones who ate able to learn what they need to know outside of college on their own, once they have an income, and entrepreneurs unlock that potential.
Slightly different case but I have
a camelcamelcamel alert set up for a fountain pen. I got an alert that the price was very low. I could see it was a NEW third party seller. The price was less than half the price Amazon sells it for. I bought it just to see. Indeed it was a terrible fake.
Amazon refunded me but actually I see quite a few of these types of scams on their site.

They could do more to stop these things happening. They really should as it's a waste of time more than anything else.

Why do you keep arguing something that I'm not even disagreeing with? And why are you not even engaging with my earlier statement that you're arguing a different thing altogether. If I'm wrong about that, then just explain to me why instead of trying to convince me of something I'm already agreeing with.

I mean, you're the expert working on Servo here, so you're better equipped to answer the other claim that you're ignoring: is a simpler spec than HTML and CSS be easier to optimise, yes or no?

My father also didn't have fun at his job. Back in his days, people said that automation would have us all working 2 hours a day by 2000. That didn't happen.

However, there are now an increasing amount of people who have the luxury to be able to choose their career, choose a job they'll enjoy and not have to slave their life away to be allowed to pay for their food and shelter.

So, mdpopescu, is that so god damn wrong?
Someone hacked my Seller Central account a few months back. It took 8 weeks to sort it out with Amazon. In the meantime, they completely suspended my entire Amazon account. What a nightmare.

My irrationality is keeping to a promise to positively oppose the often-unconscious but perniciously misogynistic viewpoint that permeates the discourse of this site.

I recognize that giving a promise this vast in scope was a bad idea. However, I feel obligated to keep it.

I'm bored to death of men with almost no conception of the topic at hand demanding deference and respect just because they think they know how to program a computer. And yet, here I am keeping my promise.

You seem to think my intent is malicious. It's really too bad.
On another note, I have long wished for something like specifying protocol port numbers in a DNS record. Ever since I ran my first ircd on a shared hosting server, and continuing to today with multiple httpds (nginx, znc, etc) and ircds (ZNC, bitlbee) and such on a single IP.

Not for any technical reasons, though--I'm just lazy, and specifying port numbers is annoying.

A VC's reputation is privately held data. The same for a founder's reputation. Public data is largely useless.

And there is, of course, evidence that Khosla is not 100% founder-friendly, as there is data for every other VC and every other founder out there. Every conflict is gray.

But choose as you wish, of course. That's capitalism.
I guess this is why Ebay always sides with the buyer. Scuks for sellers though.

You flagged my comment even though it was arguably much less of an "attack" than what I quoted.

dang most likely didn't flag you.

Everybody can flag (just click in the x minutes ago link and you'll see that post as top leveel including a link to flag it).

I think dang and other mods looks for flagged posts in the backend.

That said: don’t abuse flags like some other people around here do (IMO).

Also: don’t argue with the mods. They have enough to deal with a few people on both sides :-/
Same is happening with Walmart and Newegg. It's really annoying and I wish they'd all stop it. Worse thing on Amazon is the third party sellers that race to the bottom with price but have insane shipping fees.
I'm guessing too many people know about the "email jeff@amazon.com" hack, and that they now forward everything from there to customer service.
> Facebook approved the May debut of a photo-sharing app, called Colorful Balloons, in China, according to a person with knowledge of the company’s plans, who declined to be named because the information is politically sensitive. The app, which has not previously been reported, shares the look, function and feel of Facebook’s Moments app. It was released through a separate local company and without any hint that the social network is affiliated with it.

Well, there goes that secret... Wonder if it will be allowed to continue to exist now that it's known Facebook is behind it? And will this hurt or help FB in China? I could see the Chinese government getting upset about an end-run around their iron control if they were previously unaware of this....

Why is that a red flag? Uber accepts cash. We are doing an Uber for X and accepting cash, cryptocoin, and limited credit cards (CC companies dislike adult services so it might involve too much cat-and-mouse to be worthwhile).

Not accepting cash seems like a the lack of features in an MVP. It's easier to handle CCs, but collecting cash in a sharing-economy situation is more work. It certainly isn't a good thing to not accept cash!
> or misunderstand a given piece of material. It is not OK to dismiss out of hand perceived others or to take an emotionally vested interest in your misunderstanding when it's been pointed out.

I'm uninterested in James, his feelings, his emotions, his needs, his wants, his _intents_, and his plans. I've met him in passing, and he did not hold my attention anymore in person.

I've been much more focused on the flaws in the discourse here than his memo precisely because of this.

Your ultimate strategy across multiple threads appears to be: "paint this person as an irrational creature, fraught with emotion, that cannot respond rationally and therefore should be dismissed."

If you think this'll work, good luck. If the karma numbers I can see are any indication, my opinion is not being received in the light you're painting it it. If your opinion of the overall HN community is that folks here are an irrational bunch with cognitive abilities to base to catch the pitch of reason, then what sort of motivation (rational or otherwise) are you finding to stay?

And I'm also enjoying watching the numbers pop back up after a sudden depression. Why is that, I wonder? It continues to happen on some threads long after they're open.

> Another point of confusion I can understand is while it mentions the fact that men and women have biological differences, it never says anything at all about what those differences are.

This is simply untrue.
Newegg went through the same bifurcation when it introduced third-party sellers in 2010. It turned a largely hassle-free shopping experience into one where extra care had to be taken to filter out results that weren't sold by Newegg itself.

I'd argue that Newegg was more hurt by this than Amazon, because customers were trusting Newegg to deliver a consistent experience at the expense of fewer categories of inventory, while Amazon's offerings were already diluted by a smattering of tiered experiences and bundling with tangentially-related services, of which the Prime/not Prime distinction became increasingly more intrusive.

Though many people use Amazon to find quirky, oddball, one-off products, it does tend to work best when used as an online-only warehouse club -- for repurchasing the same mainstream product over and over; with the added benefit that then you largely avoid having to wade through the filters of 'Sold by Amazon' and 'Eligible for Amazon Prime'. And since they pushed Prime on so many people, they can branch out into eBay's territory with little worries about the health of their customer-facing bottom line.
As someone who recently went through small-claims as a plaintiff, it is time-consuming and the process takes months to complete[0] - don't forget to be prepared to lose a half-day (or longer) to attend your hearing in court too, and you can't add "equivalent wages for time spent in court for this hearing" to your damages claim) - so for many people a claim valued under a $1000 or so simply isn't worth pursuing.

If I could reform small-claims actions, I'd make it permissible to submit evidence online/electronically with a deposition and let the judges/mediators review it in their own time, have them call us up by phone or send emails if they have any questions and only call us into a physical court-hearing if absolutely necessary.

[0]: At the start of this year I was victim to a breach of contract causing me a 5-figure loss. I filed my claim paperwork in April and got a response in June with my court hearing in August - then another week for a judgement - now I've got to wait 30 days before I can begin to attempt to collect on that judgement, which can take 180 days or more depending on how the defendant appeals or chooses to delay things. That's a possible ~540 days after the violation before we reach settlement. In the OP's case, is that really worth $1500? (Most states allow you to collect a nominal interest on a judgement too, California is 10% APR, for example - better than a savings account, worse than the S&P 500).
Come to the darkside of FOSS, where apple, google, and amazon only have as much control as you let them. GNU+Linux, GPLed software, root on your devices. When the surveillance engine enables the totalitarian takeover, hackers will be the only ones free. You "hackers" have gotten too lazy (especially looking at you Apple users). HN abounds with businesspeople pretending to be hackers instead of the other way around.

Also, why tf was this flagged?
Nearly each day there are multiple articles that receive significant discussion: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=google%20points%3E100&sort=byD....

Users often flag the ones that don't bring significant new information, because not only are they repetitive themselves but the discussions tend towards incivility in the information vacuum. It's harder to keep one's cool in the presence of such tedious repetition.
I've heard that in most circumstances you can safely use an 'm' rather than the moraic nasal 'm' such that most people may not even recognise it, though I don't have enough experience to confirm that myself.
that assumes that the majority of founders would view what benchmark is doing as negative. to me it looks like good business.
Reminds me of when I called my cell phone carrier, to have an unused line dropped from my account. Had to give them my phone number, and the number for the line to remove. "Ok, hold on one second..." [click]. Phone didn't work any more -- they removed the wrong line. Had to go to a land line, and hang on hold for 30 minutes to get someone to start restoring my account (and to make sure I didn't lose my grandfathered data plan).
The cynic in me feels like it's an engineered phenomenon to promote effective political apathy in the population while Balkanizing the exhausted general public with elite-approved wedge issues to make them feel like they're engaging politically even though actual political topics like war, class inequality, education etc are out of bound and the incumbent political elite and media conglomerates are beneficiaries.
Wouldn't it still be prohibitively expensive for a commercial VPN service to log all traffic at all times? The traffic going through should be proportional to their scale, just like a generic VPS company. Why does logging get more expensive just because a server is general-use rather than solely a VPN server?
> Functions have names and you get to name the code in a way that shouldn't expire the way comments can.

Sure that's a benefit, but often times I think the scrolling is a downside that is underrated. The code being right in front of you has huge value.

> In most languages separate functions create separate scopes. This prevent incidental use of temporaries from one section into anothe

Right. Thought I mentioned that. That's why I think local functions are good. Gives the best of both worlds. It's a proper name instead of a comment, and gives the right scope.

> but if it becomes part of the public API

Yes obviously API design is a separate (and MUCH) harder question than refactoring for breaking logic apart I think.

Hardly. The US is to the left social democratically and culturally of nearly every country outside Western Europe.
His take still seems a little tone deaf and defensive (e.g., repeated use of "echo chamber"). But he hits the nail on the head of why Google fired him:

... they really couldn't do otherwise.

No matter what you think about the memo, Google had absolutely no option but to fire Mr. Damore once this blew up into a firestorm (internally and externally).
This WSJ piece is a far better look for him than his first interview on Stephen Molyneux
I don’t think he’s doing this media tour for fun.
I can see your point of view as well... I would've been pretty excited to have this opportunity also.

However call me idealistic, naive, whatever - I don't like the motivations of these solicitors, even though in a pragmatic sense their actions will have positive side-effects for us (the "rising tide" you mention).
> Right. And what I've been trying to say is that the statistical averages aren't the offensive part. That's a straw man.

Well you did pose the question, I just answered it, so it was not to erect a straw man, and I was not really trying to contradict the rest of your claim by that example, maybe I should have been clearer on that.

> Sure, the memo didn't say it explicitly, but it did imply that. Everyone keeps defending the exact wording as if implication and misleading statements don't exist. Suggesting it's a "part" suggests it's a measurable and large part, comparable to social causes.

Yes, he certainly does imply that biological causes has a measurable effect, and a large enough effect that it should be taken into consideration for measures (that he also suggests) in order to change work practices so as they might better fit females and thus increase diversity.

> Pointing out that women are more neurotic (which is a clinical term with very negative popular connotation, so extremely easily misunderstood) might be a part of why Google has so few women is leading the reader to conclude it's a major factor.

I agree that it is unfortunate that neurotic is easily misunderstood, but if he didn't use the correct clinical term he would be critized for not being scientific enough, which you are already critizing him for.

> This argument is cherry-picking the science in favor, and completely ignoring the contrary evidence that suggests that social issues are much larger than anything we could possibly measure about innate biological ability. For example, that different countries have very different distributions of women in engineering, or that the distributions have changed wildly in the last 50 years.

I don't agree with you that science has concluded that biological factors don't play a role in what professions people go into. I saw an interesting Harvard debate between Steven Pinker and Elisabeth Spelke on this [1]. The two examples you present does not explicitly contradict that it might be part biological reasons [2], the provided link has a fascinating discussion in the comment section that gives you both sides of the discussion.
