I've become quite disenchanted with Amazon because of this counterfeit issue along with the fake review problem. In addition, Amazon customer service -- traditionally excellent -- has only been good to acceptable recently (they've started using Chinese agents who don't really seem to understand American customer service and also sometimes struggle with English).

I really wanted to drop Prime this year, but the wife uses it for some books and movies she likes and begged me not to. However, I've started ordering my stuff directly from sellers whenever possible. Occasionally, I order from Amazon if I need something quickly, but prefer to order directly even then if the seller has a rush delivery option (attention sellers! always offer an expedited delivery option, even if you think no one will use it!)
Whether you end up using a machine learning approach or hand-crafting the solution, I recommend you work in a ML-like manner, dividing up the data you have into test and training sets and using cross-validation to evaluate your work.

For you actual question, yes, as others have said it might be just an NLP/regexp problem. Otherwise, you could look at ingredients identification as a classification approach. I recommend checking FastText, NLTK, familiarize yourself with word dictionaries and pre-trained vectors that are available, these tools might help generalize your work beyond the data you have at hand.

(E.g. if it works well on your data using pre-trained word vectors from wikipedia, chances are it might work on examples you don't even have.)
I think you are in wrong website. This is where people build and share with eachother. I shared links of two open source projects that can help this product, too. Obviously you are not an active contributor to the community, so you take see it differently.
Awareness isn't enough: even if consumers know that there are counterfeiters and other bad actors, they doesn't mean that they know who they are. This is in part because the review system is compromised.
I remember being surprised when I first regularly visited in 99 that red bull wasn’t well known in the US; it was readily available in the UK at that time.
Anything can be construed as a racist comment by an unreasonable person. I don't see any legitimate cause for a reasonable person to construe it as such however.

And although it shouldn't really matter, I say the above as a person of Chinese heritage, who does not speak for others of Chinese heritage. But if you aren't even of Chinese heritage, and are attempting to be outraged on our behalf, I would take a long, hard look at what misguided ideology brought you to post that comment.
What would that indirect chemical evidence look like? Perhaps an example you have in mind? Outside of non-committal elements like Uranium or something showing up, I'm not sure what that evidence would look like?
There are basically 3 options, and they all have really big downsides:

* CSS modules - can use any CSS preprocessors, fast, can be extracted into CSS files, but it's very hard to "theme" and very hard to style/modify 3rd party components.

* Css-in-js - uses Js to render, using preprocessors is much more difficult, can't easily extract into CSS files, somewhat easier to theme and share.

* Inline styles - even slower, harder to preprocess, harder to extract, but very easy to theme and override.

And all 3 don't work well with one another. So if you get a widget made with inline styles, overriding the color is hard with CSS modules...
From a random keyboard in a small town in the Midwest, my heart goes out to you, Internet stranger. I'm so sorry that you have had to endure this kind of suffering.

I had fairly severe depression for several years (although probably not as bad as yours), and it affected my self-esteem, like yours seems to be affecting you. It's just not your fault, friend. Easy for me to say, right? But go easy on yourself. You didn't ask for the combination of genes & environment that has predisposed you to this.

I'm sure you have professionals to advise you on the best course of treatment, but for what it's worth, regular exercise has helped me tremendously, as much as medication and self-acceptance.
I see. Very cool approach to have a tool replace people reading documentation, and certainly more accurate and up-to-date.

Also I re-read only now that this is for a DWH, in which case it makes even more sense.
Finding one of those is the hard part - I work mostly in Telecom - so I'm not looking at companies for the most part that are VC funded (or even in the valley)
This sure makes sense. Invite a wider audience, go an extra mile to reach those who could meet the requirements but prejudices or other adverse conditions make it hard for them.

This is an opposite to narrowing your audience, because certain people need not apply.

I mean, I think employers should be able to introduce whatever filters they need for the job requirements ("our dance group only accepts ladies with prior dancing experience, older than 18, and no shorter than 6ft".) But I'd like them to be open about these requirements.
we were using symtantec. then when they cocked it up we switched to the amazon ACM which integrates with our infrastructure and doesn't have dodgy people running it. and is 'free'. but not really because it is hidden cost of our AWS pricing.

The one advantage you have is that your competitors aren't aware of you yet, so use that time to prepare. I'd say either pursue minimum-cost overseas manufacturing right away, before you have competition, or position your brand to be higher quality than Chinese imports.
Men and women have worked together for thousanda of years... not sure what you mean by the first part of the statement.
"After the decision was handed down, Sky announced that it expected the damage award to be at least £200 million. Had it not been for the misrepresentation claims, the pure-contract damages presumably would have been capped at £30 million. The difference works out to about US$270 million."

Seems like a math error.
Gotcha. Yeah I don't sell on Amazon myself or work on the retail side so I can't speak to the effectiveness on that side. It sounds like something they need to improve upon.

Have you looked up Brand Gating too? My (admittedly limited) understanding is that Brand Registry is step #1 and Brand Gating is the next level beyond that: https://www.helium10.com/blog/selling-on-amazon/brand-gating...
He was pretty furious; we talked before interview about how he should prepare, I gave him some puzzlers to solve, and after "interview" I was curious how did that go, and he was like: "they completely forgot about me!" :D He now works for their competitor.
Sorry I didn't set this up initially, but here's a super barebones playground: https://google.github.io/schism/playground.html

Keep in mind there's barely any error checking, so it may or may not work for you. I hope to improve this over time, and am happy to accept patches to do that as well.
Did you read your own link?

"We do not enforce ... Detail Page Ownership ... Exclusive or Selective Distribution."

As long as the counterfeit is good enough, don't bother complaining:

"Other sellers can list their items for sale against pages that you have created or added your copyrighted images to. However, we do require sellers to list only against detail pages that exactly match their items. If you believe sellers are listing against detail pages that do not exactly match their items, we ask that you report the violation directly by using the contact us form."

Why do the counterfeiters get to use your own picture of your own product? Because Amazon claims the rights from you:

"Additionally, when you add your copyrighted image to a detail page, you grant Amazon and its affiliates a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable right to exercise all rights of publicity over the material."

And that brand registry? Does it mean your brand is yours? No, it's just 'increased authority' ...

"increased authority over product listings with your brand name"
Possibly they were thinking of first a DNS query then the actual query? That would result in two round trips.
Wasn't me, but a friend of mine worked from Germany for a couple of years. He worked for a company in the US that had offices throughout the world (it was a shipping company). A bit of his work involved working with other teams, so he had a bit of insight into those teams. He noticed that there were openings for positions similar to his in the foreign offices and reached out to the managers. He had to prepare a CV for them, but he was able to transfer there relatively easily.
Did you run a business that hired employees without biases, word of mouth, entry tests and friendly cronyism ? Show us the right path
Thanks. That was very unsatisfying, though. He's right that there are usually thresholds where money-transmitter laws kick in, but having to track that and refrain once you hit the limit would be onerous and limiting.
From operations experience, the risks of data loss with btrfs far outweigh volume shrinking capabilities on either XFS or ZFS.
It is.

Good customer service should start with not selling customers counterfeit crap in the first place. Instead, the phrase "customer service" means something extremely specific, i.e., a good return policy for customers who realize they've lost at Amazon's game of counterfeit roulette.
> But apparently it happens.
> These stories wouldn't get the attention they're getting if they weren't shocking to many (men?). So I'd be careful of believing too strongly that it's that different where you are just because you don't see it.

In my experience and previous industries, women getting pregnant usually means baby showers and then going away parties. Marriages not so much but considering the amount of time and care a new baby incurs it is reasonable for a new mother to desire to stay at home, bond, nurse, etc. In fact my wife normally asks that very question with she encounters an expectant mother.
How does one make a living out of being an AGI researcher? How does one pay mortgage and has money and freedom to go on impulsive vacations with their wife?

Well you don't, unless you work for OpenAI (which I don't). Not sure how OpenAI does it or how well they pay but I'm sure it's good. They have good donors.

And what does an AGI practitioner even mean?

To clarify, I'm a ML practitioner. AGI practitioner means nothing
I was wondering if that would be an issue. It might be worthwhile to present it to the factory as something else. E.g. a quadcopter part presented as handheld fan for hot weather.

1. Discrimination is bad.

2. Minorities have faced discrimination the most.

3. Let's discriminate against Whites/Asians to correct #2, even though we accept the truth of #1.

I don't get this thought process at all..."lets fight discrimination with more discrimination!"
What seems to be going on, I think, is largely a one-sided story. There are many people with bullhorns who speak, for whatever reasons, but who seem to go largely unchallenged. Whether that's due to unawareness, lack of critical thought, laziness, or perceived distance (e.g. "I think things are still fine with me; I can't or don't see how this could affect me."), I can't say for certain, but I imagine many people are affected by some combination of them all.

What I can say we do need more of, however, is well-engaged, open and honest discussion. Having leading voices speak your mind can be very good, but central figures can be fallible. A better solution would be to have input from humans in the "silent majority", whatever that might be.
The US gov considers Hispanic an ethnicity, not a race. So if you don't consider yourself one of the 5 races (white, black, American Indian, Asian, Pacific Islander) then you'd select other.

Racial identity for Hispanics seems to be a complex personal decision.
To me, "service" encompasses the entire experience of dealing with the company. A company that makes mistakes and fixes them quickly shouldn't be considered better than a company that doesn't make mistakes in the first place.
> One is us leading the process and speaking directly to your prosepctive employer,

This is exactly what I want and would pay for. However, I wonder how this works in practice. I work for a fairly well known software company and am involved in the hiring process and I can say with about 90% certainty that negotiations would cease as soon as a candidate presented representation. And my gut is telling me that is the norm in the software industry.

Can you speak to this concern? Have you run in to this or has this come up at all for past clients?
I've worked in consulting on a much smaller scale. Like $1-30MM kinda deals. It was priority 1 to make sure the client knew exactly what we needed from them to get a successful outcome.
This was awesome! At first I had no idea what to do, but luckily there's a hint button. I really liked 7, 2 and 1. I didn't liked 5.

Here are some suggestions:

- I would suggest to do some very easy intro levels at first so put in the mood of the game.

- Sometimes the piano sounded glitchy.

- Clock didn't reset when I pressed the button "Try again".

- Add support for number pad.

Can't wait for the next version!

Ambrose Bierce gave an accurate description of the ultimate end in this kind of trade barrier: TARIFF, n. A scale of taxes on imports, designed to protect the domestic producer against the greed of his customers.
B's balance with A and C fluctuate during the transfer, though, and that is enough to at least make it look like a money-transmitter relationship.

The onion routing is very unfortunate, because it means regulators are likely to treat the network as a blatant money-laundering tool.

You really think the author of the post (me) doesn't communicate regularly with the Brand Registry team? Day 5 for them to do anything on this latest one.
exact same year, in pascal also, I did the same thing for an assignment implementing an embedded multitasking mini OS. I was so exicited at the idea of making my own multitasking system I went home and coded it all on paper. Went in to the lab the next day, coded it in, and it worked straight away with only a few minor issues.
That is not accurate according to 2016 votes: http://aaldef.org/TheAsianAmericanVote2016-AALDEF.pdf

Former indy recruiter here, and this is good advice. The line between "agent" and "recruiter" is blurry in cases of skilled and highly-ethical recruiters, and I'd toyed with changing my model to an agent approach. The issue is that job seekers don't want to pay someone anywhere near what a hiring company pays as a recruiting fee.

You can't call this good. They are fucking up on purpose and have made a calculation that most people won't notice and it's cheaper to refund the few that do. That's terrible customer and feels very unethical.
Some counterpoints and comments.

1. So many legit items come from China that as a consumer you can't dismiss something out of hand just because it came from China.
3. Huawei is a Chinese name, Xiaomi is a Chinese name. See #1.
4. This is a legitimate point. The company did not optimize their name for a non-Chinese audience.

I think the main thrust of why that comment has racist tones is because it feels like the main complaint is that it's a foreign (non-Western) sounding name, hard to pronounce and funny looking, therefore it cannot be legitimate.

(Actually, I don't know if you did it on purpose, but nihaobaobaomao is a great name... It's very cute and sounds like "Hello bundle kitty"...)
That "rando company" you're talking about is most probably an ordinary citizen just like you (most businesses are sole entrepreneurs and SMBs) and that "profit" is their living, they pay their food, shelter and healthcare for their kids and themselves with that. How would you feel like if someone said these things about women? Are you aware there are woman business owners as well and how would you feel if a woman-owned small business would go under because of this; what if the woman owner is pregnant and/or recently had a child and/or is single mother? Do you realize that you're literally surrounded by businesspeople on this site - do you think they're something less? How did you get the impression that businesses are not primarily humans? How can you say these awful things about others?

There of course are some "faceless corporations", I agree, but I'm not talking about these - the cost of an employee going on a leave is a fraction of their monthly budget. But most of businesses are small and can get into serious trouble easily.

And lastly, no one is talking about guaranteeing a profit at all.

If you start a startup to close it in 2 months, don't do it. You won't get anything good out of it.

If you work on your own startup, and eventually shut it down, in SV at least is not seen as an issue and you'll have many opportunities. It all goes down to what you achieved in term of product and team.

If you run your own project for 2 months, you're not much better than before. If you grow a team even of 3-5 people, maybe raise some money, have a compelling story about your product, and hustle for a few years, that's a completely different story.

Best of luck.
> if amazon's customer service wasnt so good i would have dropped them already.

I'd consider it good customer service if every time I had to return a counterfeit I got a 25% credit of the original price to cover my time and frustration, but that still leaves problems with undetected counterfeits - and of course it'd never happen because Amazon would have to eat the cost because commingled products mean they can't track it back to the supplier anyway. Oh, and yes I mean EVERY time - 25,50,75,100,125,etc. If I get 5 fake items, Amazon pays me 25% of the original cost. That's what it'd take to make it worth the hassle.

At this point I basically won't buy through/from Amazon unless it's something impossible to counterfeit (e.g. ThinkPads) or where I don't really care because I'm not looking for a brand or significant quality anyway.
This is reminding me every PHB who ever said, "it'll just take a day or two." "It's just a little machine learning."

"A company that makes mistakes and fixes them quickly shouldn't be considered better than a company that doesn't make mistakes in the first place."

If the mistake is their normal way of doing business they should be rated as bad.
Thanks, that's interesting. I see the justification for it, at least.

I don't know if the whole world is magically living with much more orderly developers than I have had the pleasure to work with, but I guarantee you that if I were using such a project at work, we'd end up with the same variable being referenced different ways.

I really wouldn't be able to grep for variables with confidence.

(Cf. Carmack: Everything that compiles will ultimately end up in your code. In the context of exploring static analysis tools, which were finding lots of errors.)

I do like the idea for uniformity though, but it seems like maybe better to restrict it -- define project-based 'style-rules', and automatically translate when moving between domains.

So foo_bar inside package A must be accessed as FooBar inside package B.
If the software says Bob probably did it, Johnny Law will assume Bob did it and stop looking elsewhere, precisely because Johnny Law wants to close the case. Throw an overzealous DA in the mix, and it sucks to be Bob.

I don't believe they warrant just different responses, but opposite responses. The opening line of the article makes it clear that this encounter is placed squarely under the label of sexist. It sucks to be a de-facto ambassador because you're in the minority, but any time a person starts a conversation by openly admitting their ignorance and making it clear they want to move forward in a positive way should be counted as a win. This type of interaction is an essential and positive step in our transition towards equality. Scoffing at him by responding, "just talk to me like a person" or having all of us label him a sexist is going to do nothing but shut him down and turn away a likely ally.

We need something else to call this guy other than sexist. Something at least slightly positive like likely ally.
I find this facinating and quite exciting.

First of all, my experience is many tech people, generally underestimate their ability and earning power - sell themsevles short. Even true rockstars, is very common.

Especially when it comes to salary. People are REALLY uncomfortable asserting themselves for more money. Like, phobia level.

Plus the, you need to talk to my representative. That’s some serious signaling. I’d love to hear about the results they get.
