Strongly disagree. That list menu made it hard to reorganize tabs, required a mouse click, and arbitrarily split your tabs into those visible and those relegated to some obnoxious menu.
> The issue I find with capitalism is that it attempts to swallow all other systems.

Don't mean to be "that guy", but that's also pretty common with most automata, including living organisms. Run the code till the wheels fall off, and then either find a different thing to consume, or adapt to the new situation, or die.

> It's like capitalism is an unconscious dogmatism that everyone participates in because...

Because it's the current dominant paradigm.

Back in the day, the dominant paradigm was pharaohs ruling the realm from giant stone palaces, and armies of slaves raising monuments for the glory of the god-emperor. Everyone participated in it, like it or not, because there was no real choice.

Same now. You could play within the system, or you could go off dancing with wolves.

Or you could try to change it, but that in reality is orders of magnitude harder than it seems - unless you happen to be the unwitting or semi-witting agent of the great currents of history.
So, you believe that equality ,in this context, is a reality only if the distribution of gender in corporate employees reflects more or less the distribution in general population?
This comment should be higher, they literally tried to impersonate a Github "dmcahelper" bot.

> This scam was trivial to detect.

No, it's trivial to understand. It's simply an objective truth that it's hard to detect, given that you and I are hearing about it for the first time in August of the year 2017, when it exploits a USPS tracking data that probably hasn't changed much in 15 years or more. If it's so trivial why didn't you figure it out before? Why haven't Amazon and the post office closed the hole? Why haven't more people been scammed?

Latest news seems to indicate that Softbank is considering investing at a ~$40B valuation.. considerably lower than the $69B number floating around. And although it is probably just a negotiation tactic, they claim to be considering an investment in Lyft instead.

I used to think this until I spent some time in the tropics.

I folded u my temperate-climate clothes and put them away. They all went mouldy.

Several studies have shown that the net health benefit of bicycling to/from work is large even when you account for accidents. Not hard to believe when you hear it halves the risk of cardiovascular disease, which is the most common cause of death in the US.

E.g. these authors find the health improvement statistically increases your life expectancy by up to 14 months, while traffic accidents statistically reduce it by up to 9 days. That's a ratio of 47 to 1.

I suddenly felt nostalgic...
Dr. Lisa Zu, CEO of AMD, is the real "man" behind the Zen microarchitecture. Not only is she an engineer who was deeply involved with the product, she lead the company through a tremendous turn-around that made Zen possible and put into place all the platform and support pieces the resulting Ryzen/Epyc products would need.

I find it interesting that when Apple brought out the iPad neither Keller nor Ive got credit, Steve Jobs did. I don't even know the project leads or primary engineers behind Windows 95, Bill Gates got most of the credit. Couldn't name for you the other geniuses behind SpaceX or Tesla, I just hear about Elon Musk. Does the dark lord get credit for Oracle's awful products? No, Larry Ellison is the name we hear. Good or bad, the CEO usually gets the credit... except in this case.

I wonder if it has something to do with Dr. Zu being a woman.

That said, obviously Jim Keller is a skilled chip designer. It would be nice to see more of the supporting cast and geniuses behind innovations get some spotlight instead of all credit flowing to the top (unless maybe it's a woman).
I don't think so. Filtering for Prime or Free Shipping by Amazon helps a lot though. You still get third-party sellers, but they're at least fulfilled by Amazon so the chances of trouble are quite a bit lower.
> My words were "scams are hard to detect" and I stand by them.

I think it should be easy to detect that two addresses are not identical. Which should make this scam easy to detect.

* shipped to different address

* shipped to different name

Even low-paid support people should be able to detect that. If they can't, then Amazon is hiring people who can't (or won't) read.

i.e. if support people can't read, they shouldn't be support people.

Wow, these other investors are willing to give Benchmark a fabulous exit. I would negotiate it up to $12B and take it!
Or small claims court. That will get their attention quickly. This is the perfect place for that, though I guess, since this is USPS/Mail fraud that works. Small claims court has appeal because they absolutely can't ignore you, whereas even with a police report they can.

(edit: perfect place for police involvement, since an actual mail fraud type crime was comitted, but also a great place for small claims court. I am just thinking police aren't going to have much recourse since whoever did this is probably very far away. Small claims court you can do it right to amazon for failure to deliver the goods bought, and maybe find some language in the A-to-z guarantee to hold them accountable?)
Blocking a URL is, in and of itself, not illegal, sure.

Blocking a URL that allows you to break a copyright-protection mechanism[1,2]? Well, that's not so clear. It's also unclear whether or not Admiral falls under the umbrella of a copyright-protection mechanism.

I really really really want EasyList to be in the right here, and be able to re-add the block without fear, but it's far from clear what all the implications of this are. I'm glad the EFF has stepped in to help them out; I'm content to wait for their opinion (or the opinion of an actual lawyer versed in the subject at hand) on this.

In the end, this is just another example of why the DMCA needs to go.

[1] Yes, you could say that this is bad design that the mechanism can be broken so easily, but that's not the point: the DMCA doesn't care how good or bad the mechanism is. If you break it, you're in violation.

[2] I suppose there's another point to be made: DMCA takedown notices are only for removing content or links to content that contain actual material where copyright has been infringed, not for removing circumvention tools.
"...trustworthy as Amazon."

?!

Amazon has their money, and most everyone's money. There is little incentive here to do the right thing.
Maybe your newsletter could have teasers on different topics that link to blog posts, or articles that will let you create different funnels for different interests. Then, once you have them in the funnel, you are able to gather metrics on what is important/valuable to your readers.

Bonus points if the blog posts/articles have affiliate links for readers purchases.

Gold star if the blog posts/articles are also "sponsored content". Then you're getting paid for that too.
OT, but I can't resist:

When you search for an item, you can filter it to only items sold by Amazon directly. It's under the "Seller" category. I do this quite a bit.
Although many of the submissions to HN about the Google Memo have been redundant, this is new information.
It may matter, since VC returns are dominated by the outlier companies that return 100x.

If the next Slack (i.e. companies where VCs form a line to have them take their money) always pass on Benchmark after remembering this, instead choosing to take money from Sequoia/A16Z/NEA etc., who are also competent investors who aren't complete marks, then returns may take a hit.
Oh that's clever, thank you for that idea. If I ever go back to ordering stuff on Amazon I'll definitely use it. I got burned twice with one order from two different sellers and I'm kind of done with them for a while (both out of print biology texts).

STABILIZER: Statistically Sound Performance Evaluation (2013) [pdf]
I much prefer to have no favicons. They're a really poor indicator of the content of the tab, especially when 20 of them are Stack Overflow and Read the Docs.

Safari has a really good way of visually distinguishing between tabs, a two fingered pinch on the trackpad and I can see the actual content of every tab that I have open. Can't remember the last time I even looked at the text in the tabs.
A couple of possibilities:

*The customer service reps have to answer a huge volume of cases and they really don't take time to read the email
*It's ingrained into the customer service reps to follow policy to a T. So if it was signed for, deny.
*They're using some sort of automated system that shows whether something was signed for. If 'yes', deny.
1. Very few talk about how the sun changes its levels of radiance and how this affects climate on Earth. The sun is not a "constant".

2. Maybe I phrased that part of my statement rather lumpily. I meant, if USA spends to reduce emissions and China and India do not spend.
Huh, you may be right. The notion that the index is ever susceptible to large one-off deals, though, still makes it suspect as an indicator of the general health of the tech startup industry. Similar to how high customer concentration can cause the valuation of a business to be lower than an unconcentrated customer base with similar revenue.
What do you mean, why hasn't the post office closed the hole? Are you or I misunderstanding what happened here? The post office had no problems here.

And what do you mean, "why didn't you figure it out before?" Why would I have figured anything out about this...?

Why haven't more people been scammed? How do you know they haven't?
My bookmarks bar is a row of unlabeled favicons arranged by color. Beautiful and extremely efficient. I only need to store the color of an icon in my head, not the icon itself or the url. If this ever gets taken away from me I will become extremely cross.
It is a standard way of doing things on HN and until I became a software developer I really didn't understand why.
That was quite interesting. Why was it flagged?
> [...] the questions asked are very rarely put to laymen or individuals or groups with a cursory or passing interest.

And that is completely wrong. You can call for polls, you can look for experts on education institutions, you can look for unions, you can bring some one from the EFF. There is a lot of options if you will.

> There is no malice in this, although it's very easy to perceive it as so.

Their decisions have been proven harmful to the citizens at the same time that benefits economically the elites, that's the very definition of malice in government. That's one of the reasons people emigrated from Europe to America, to fly from a corrupt system of nobility and serfdom.

> It's all down to exposure - if you are invested in an issue, find a way to get involved (reach out to you representative etc.) and have a voice in the discussions, rather than waiting idly by and demonstrating against the result.

I thought that it was about fairness and to represent all citizens, but if it boils down to "exposure" then money can buy that. When did it become 1 dollar 1 vote? And why should we accept it willingly?

Your argument is "this is how it is, so it is good". Status quo is not immutable and has not morality by itself.
Author of the article here.

A few things. First, I'm not sure you actually bothered reading the article, because the conclusion very obviously states what you're suggesting here, in that:

"This post’s intention was neither to argue that DRY or small functions are inherently bad (even if the title disingenuously suggested so). Only that they aren’t inherently good either."

As for the lack of examples, I'd imagine most people can extrapolate and draw analogies from their long and storied programming careers of the sort they stake a claim to. If there's something you'd like explained in more detail, let me know and I can try cooking up a contrived example, but it will remain somewhat contrived all the same.

This article isn't for duplication either - as a matter of fact it's against absolutes and blanket generalizations like "Code smells if your functions are longer than 3 lines", which is something I often come across.

I think what you call "mediocre programmers" -- personally though, I'd like to be more charitable and think of this demographic as the average programmer or the vast majority of programmers -- are also the ones most likely to cargo cult a piece of advice that's sold as "programming wisdom". Any "advice" needs to be taken with a grain of salt. The article goes on to state how important this is, as well:

"As with most other things, “the ideal” lies somewhere in between. There is no one-size-fits-all happy medium. The “ideal” also varies depending on a vast number of factors — both programmatic and interpersonal — and the hallmark of good engineering is to be able to identify where in the spectrum this “ideal” lies for any given context, as well as to constantly reevaluate and recalibrate this ideal."
I would be surprised if such a fundamental behaviour would not have an evolutionary advantage.
The pain you're experiencing is cognitive dissonance. I am also very personally familiar with it, and I know how hard it is to recognize the cognitive dissonance in oneself. I also know that the pain -starts- going away when you're able to honestly confront yourself and the irrational and contradictory thoughts that are the root of the pain.
Where is the swamp draining?
Couple that with an API and notification system and you've got yourself a good service.

My hands are a little full at this moment but feel free to shoot me an email if you're interested in doing something I like this. Seems like a good case for automation.
Agreed. Seems as though he decided to go through WSJ to get his take published.
You intentional misinterpret the discussion. Well hopefully intentional, because otherwise it would reflect very poorly on you.

Let me use another example: The NFL has no rules against women playing. None. Yet 100% of players are male, because biologically the exceptionally large and athletic tend to be male. I'm male, so does that mean that I could be an NFL player? Of course not, and I in no universe am in that realm.

That is a more extreme example, but patronizingly suggesting that it's all just social is utterly laughable and just outright ignorant.

"This argument is cherry-picking the science in favor, and completely ignoring the contrary evidence that suggests that social issues are much larger"

At this point you've reached utter lol territory. You are outright being dense about actual science, and then casually waving your hands and claiming that is more authoritative.
Indeed, it is good. And for non-trackpad-users, Shift-Command-\ is the keyboard shortcut for "Show All Tabs," which also makes the tabs searchable.
Yup that seems like it, everything needed to prove that the transaction was fraudulent on the seller's part is included here by third party sources. Amazon completely blew it.
I'm at the point now where I only buy Prime Free Same Day, Fulfilled (or Sold by) Amazon. Anything else and I may as well walk to Target/Best Buy/Etc.

Amazon's prices aren't usually any better than local retail, or if so, not by much. The benefit to me is ordering an item mid-morning and having it on my doorstep by dinner.
Yes, it is a pretext.

And one in which the SJWs at Google paint other people as "the ones preventing them from being able to speak".

Meanwhile, Google leadership & SJWs are the ones creating an environment hostile to other's opinions - as evidenced by the smear campaign and the firing.
That's the thing. You can't arbitrarily say that the line stops at one thing in terms of saying people are to blame for their misfortune when the same can be said for anyone that becomes a victim in any other circumstance. Either victims legitimately exist as a consequence of unfairness and injustice or they don't exist at all. It's really something that has to be said because it's the thing that I see too often stated in fluffier terms by New Agers (aka The Secret). One's attitude can no more stop the power of a bullet any more than one's attitude can stop the one who set that bullet in motion. Ultimately, we always have victims and we always have a choice to accept that they deserve justice when they are harmed.
> users of your list will not get this. And will stop using your list.

I don't think that's universally true. For me, if a site is broken because blocking ads also makes the content inaccessible, I just close the browser tab and move on with my day. (For a while the LA Times was blocking content in this way, so I just refused to visit their site. I guess it worked; they don't do this anymore.)

I don't claim to be the common case, but frankly I don't know what the common case is, and I suspect you don't either, so it could go either way.
Every one of those downsides was addressable without flushing the baby. Sessions (https://sessions-extension.github.io/Sessions/) provides a keyboard-controllable vertical tab popover with draggable tabs from all open windows.

Tab Exposé is one of my favorite features in Safari (Right behind Reader view) that I wish other browsers copied.
I tend to limit my open tabs to the maximum that can be displayed with clear favicons. Works for me.
I agree for sure. At the very least have it as a preference. My bookmark bar consists of icons w/ no label. I treat Favicons more or less like I do iOS app icons.
The giant banner at the top crosses out "Don't be evil" and replaces it with "Do the right thing".

The author makes an error before even writing a single word, because "Do the right thing" became the mantra of Alphabet, not Google. Google's motto is still, and always has been Don't be evil.

"the four" don't control as much of the internet as this article gives them credit for.

Google has lots of competition:
There are many search engines. There are many email providers. YouTube is probably their one service that totally dominates their rivals, although other video sites do exist.

Android phones compete with apple phones, and windows/Linux compete with apples other products.

Other social media sites exist and compete with Facebook, including Twitter, Snapchat, and LinkedIn.

Amazon also has competitors, and Walmart.com is every bit as good as Amazon, but has the option for in store pickup.

It seems this article is being a bit hyperbolic
I don't think people think in terms of life expectancy. Do you? Is a 1% chance of dying on your next ride and otherwise living 100 years equivalent to not riding your bike and living 99 years to you?

Edit regarding your comment: Oh, I see why you're confused. I didn't need to do the math because I was talking about a 1-time bike ride as an example to just get the point across -- it's already scary for 1 ride. But if you want the actual math for a lifetime, there's a ~1/5000 lifetime odds of dying in 1 year of biking. That's still pretty damn high. I don't know about you but I'd rather just give up on the 78th expected year of my life and lose the 0.1% chance of dying in the next 5 years.

When I try it, the Seller category is only available if I first pick a department. If I search within "All" then for some reason it doesn't appear. Weird stuff.
Agree wholeheartedly. I’ve also been scammed by a third-party Amazon seller, and I half-wonder if they continue to allow third-party sellers as a way to further promote Amazon Prime — when you’re on Prime, you can simply filter out all non-Prime items. You know in your head you don’t have to deal with all the extraneous, spammy crap associated with non-Prime purchases.
MQTT, CoAP, SRTP
The downside is that some sites/patterns are removed from the list for legitimate reasons (for example, in the case where a rule is overly broad and breaks sites that it shouldn't). If you can make the software distinguish between "good" and "bad" old rules in the history, then you absolutely have not complied with the DMCA takedown notice anymore.
I sure hope that won't be the public name. I fell asleep halfway through reading it.

The chances are the seller is a fake as well. They use stolen identity to sell and transfer funds. Police will likely end up with a dead end. You have to trace the funds. FBI would be a better help here. Now how do you get them involved? lol
We're about to announce our company and do a fundraising round. Relatively small, a few million at first with a limited number of investors, then do a blockchain IPO (yes IPO - we're selling shares with control and dividends, not pointless tokens). And our market is huge with no real coordinated players, so it should be very lucrative.

Even so, I am concerned about letting just anyone put money in. Even though we are an extrajurisdictional company and the SEC doesn't trouble us, I'd like to know people putting money in have some idea what they're doing. At first we thought to limit the amount, require a minimum $1000 or $2000 purchase. But that makes it worse, I think.

What is a company in our situation supposed to do to be socially aware and not just "make the rich richer", while also making sure someone doesn't invest their last $1000? Just put up disclaimers?
Steam happily bans accounts that make chargebacks, so it's apparently legal (or at least get-away-with-it-able) in the US. I'm really not willing to take that risk with Amazon.
