We know how Americans think; meaning if they had won this one many people would start pretending a product bought on Amazon puts their lives at risk just to sue amazon and get a bit fat check; even burning their own house if they can win for more than the house is worth.
They do work though. Typically a board like /g/ is on topic and containment boards are used to shame offtopic users. That might sound unconvincing and "a state of mind" but social dynamics do work. If there is 1 /pol// shitposter in a thread they will be called out as bait or told to go back to their containment board. It's a useful rhetorical tool on 4chan and it works better than any literal rule because it comes organically from the board's culture.
It makes zero sense to me that Amazon might be liable.
I think there’s two elements. One is rent, which is a very real issue: Saint’s Alp and The Cheese Shop never had a quiet moment, were basically on the same block, and have both gone belly up.

That said, the bookstore sucked. It had far too few books per square foot - easily an order of magnitude or more less than the Strand - but their curation was, outside of political tracts, bland and unsurprising. I’d never walk in there and find the book I was looking for; I’d never walk in there and find an unexpected gem. You have to deliver at least one of those, and your curation had better be top notch if your position is “we will only stock a (relative) handful of books.”

They went out of business because they were bad at what they did, but great stores on the same block can’t cope with the rent either.
By not engaging a lawyer and suing these people, you are enabling them, and allowing them to do it to someone else.
For the record people do not have a natural immunity to malaria.

People with sickle cell do. That's part of why certain genetic defects are prevalent in certain populations: survival of the fittest in circumstances where the alternative is worse.

I think they have signed "right to try" into law. But there are very good reasons we want to test stuff before taking a big step. People tend to die as our way of finding out the theory is only half baked.

That's how we got rounded airplane windows: by planes going down in gruesome crashes that killed everyone on board, thereby serving as a clue that there was a design flaw somewhere in our lovely new jets.
That was exactly my thought as well, but the examples seems to show otherwise (at least on gcc and clang[1]).

The compilers are using basically the same underling optimizer and back-end with different front-ends, and since in C there are no "user-defined constructors" and no destructors, one would expect that you don't need any special RVO rule in C: the compiler can simply observe that a local object is returned and construct it in-place as necessary.

Thinking about this example, this may not be the case: distinct objects have to have distinct addresses, right? So in C you might not be able to make this optimization since the do_stuff_to_foo method (a black box to the compiler) could save its argument, and the caller of blah() could see that the argument it passed has the same address as the local f object in blah, a violation of "distinct objects, distinct addresses".

C++ has a the RVO escape hatch for this: it is expected that some objects that appear distinct in the source may not actually be distinct if they fit the RVO (or NVRO) pattern - but C does not. So perhaps gcc and clang are doing the right there here.

[1] All numbered versions of clang up to 6.0 seem to behave the way indicated in the GP post, but trunk in godbolt, which shows version as 7.0.0 (trunk 333657) compiles C efficiently like C++.
I thought when people say memory safety in C is a problem, they usually mean in a larger codebase with hard to define API boundaries and with multiple programmers that can't handle the complexity of the code, which results in a team that can't find a single person that is familiar with the whole codebase.
The UK implementation exempts roles where you actually control your own working hours, e.g. a parish priest is an employee (of the church) but there is nobody setting their working hours, likewise an MP works for their constituents, and is paid by Parliament itself, but neither gets to choose what hours the MP works so they're exempt.

Another clever trick is that 48 hours is averaged. Where the nature of the work makes daily leisure time pointless the 48 hours are averaged over an entire year, so maybe an oil worker puts in 10 hours per day for 2 weeks out on the ocean... and then they go home for two entire weeks before their next session. On average that's still under 48 hours per week
I re-read the article a few times and saw no mention of the product being counterfeit. They are all chintzy, poorly constructed, and come out of the same factory or two. Even if there was a brand name to counterfeit, the "counterfeit" would likely be almost exactly the same as the genuine article. Monoprice has a business model based on this premise.

What is the metric for "Molotov cocktail"? Anything that has batteries with a high energy density can be extremely dangerous. Cell phones, laptops, RC cars, power banks, and anything with a lithium ion battery can catastrophically and potentially fatally fail. Sure, you could mandate that Amazon run their own battery of safety tests on every product that is sold on their site; they sure as hell could afford it. The problem is that there's just about nobody else in the market that can.
Great app for GDPR paranoids.
I'm so done with Amazon, it's all shady Chinese companies selling counterfeits and knockoffs. I was blown away when I bought fake Dove soap the other day in perfect looking packaging. It's impossible to trust anything on there.
>You'll notice that I get the return address into RAX as soon as possible. Believe it or not, this makes a real difference in performance. It allows the CPU to start fetching instructions after the JMP/RET even sooner than if you have it at the bottom of the function as you do.

The "execution" of the jump happens well before the pop rax is executed.

The real difference is using a jump insted of a ret. The latter will be always mispredicted as the CPU return address predictor (the stack engine) will always get it wrong, while the indirect predictor used by jmp has a chance to get it right.

How do you reconcile this opinion with the high-levels of pay and celebrity in the entertainment industry and professional sports? They're all unionized and their bosses make money hand over fist as well.

Unions and organized labor will always occur. The incentives for it are inevitable under capitalism. I accept this and would like to see a working economy that is more nuanced than the one implied by "opposing unions".

What gave it away that the soap was a knockoff? I can't say I'd know how to identify counterfeit soap other than maybe extremely low quality packaging.
Based on his comment, I think mikeash meant “not liable”.

Our ecosystem is insanely complex, as show by the Biosphere II project. You can't just try to surgically alter one part without lots of unintended effects down the line.
Our company has been using RN with real users for just about a year now. And there really aren't any complaints other than we sometimes can't use some API's (but we still manage to figure out a solution at the end of the day - to the satisfaction of our iOS & Android users).

However, we do use Expo[0] to manage some of the rough edges of RN.

How do you know that's the case? And it's pretty clear the company is making enough money to cover it, so it makes sense that the people actually doing the work get to share in the rewards.
By this reasoning no merchant is ever liable for any of their products because they all come from third parties. Tablet blows up? Don't blame Samsung or Apple, blame the supplier in China. This is all part of the trend over the last few decades of removing any accountability, responsibility, or liability big companies might have towards people so they can profit more and never be held responsible for their actions. This also follows the same trend in government itself where public officials and servants themselves are no longer held responsible for their actions even when their actions cause the loss of human lives. In a culture that loves nothing more than to blame others and never accept blame, this leads to government and companies that respond to no one, are not regulated or overseen by anyone, and eventually commit atrocities including maiming and murdering people for profit and advancement. We really should start to think as a society about holding these entities responsible for their reprehensible actions. Otherwise what is the message we give as a society? That it's ok to hurt and kill others as long as you do it as part or a company or government. Is that the type of society we really want to be?

Turing completeness of the type system isn't what causes C++'s unsafety: in a sense, being turing complete theoretically allows encoding more safety into the type system. It also allows encoding more impossible-to-write-a-program into the type system, but that's orthogonal (plus, if you can't compile anything, you can't run anything unsafe!).

C++ improves on C in some respects, but still suffers from undefined behaviours like use-after-free/dangling references, dereferencing of null (e.g. a moved-from unique_ptr) and iterator invalidation, none of which are caused by a Turing complete type system (they all, in various forms, exist in C too).
Let's temporarily assume for the sake of argument that 'poor people' could wind up significantly better off under the decisions of a system where low-information, low-motivation voters are discouraged – but not disenfranchised. There'd be fewer (Hugo) Chavez- or Trump- type winners.

If under such a system, the 'voluntary, compensated abstentions' are disproportionately 'poor people', what principle is being violated? Is the option-to-vote or the actuality-of-voting the more important value?

Is maximal voting participation a religious goal, to be pursued even if it delivers poor results, such poor results sometimes including the collapse of democratic-processes entirely? Or is voting just one part of a system to be evaluated based on how well it delivers welfare and protects rights?

"Those high expenses might be justified as part of their strategy to recruit top management talent. "

I really don't buy the argument that normal workers deserve to be paid crap because of "free market", but for some reason executive compensation needs to be amazingly outlandish.
That's a valid question, but at least two reasons come to mind which would explain why investors leverage the company instead.

Taxes are paid after interest, so leverage effectively creates a "tax shield" that can be very advantageous.

Even if that weren't the case, equity holders have limited liability. They are only liable up to the amount they invested. Naturally, their incentives are usually aligned with that of lenders, since nobody is better off in the event the company goes under.

But very risk-tolerant investors indeed take on leverage themselves, often in the form of what is called margin trading. It can bring outsized returns, but those investors are also potentially liable for more than they invested.
> We for some reason have a high tolerance for white-collar crimes when we really should be prosecuting them vigorously.

It took a social movement for prosecutors to get a fucking backbone when it came to rape and sexual misconduct among the powerful. It should be a lot easier than that for prosecutors to charge white collar criminals. This is just paper
counterfeit items like SD cards dominate on Amazon. I tried reporting fake electronic equipment - nothing happened, except I seldom buy anything on Amazon anymore.

Amazon should at least be liable for willingly selling items that do not match the description (if they tell me it's a Sandisk SD, I buy it because I believe it is!)
> that people put up with it.

This implies everyone has a choice, no? When employees changing jobs or getting legal assistance isn't easy is exactly when owners do these sorts of things -- it is understood and incentivized
Unions have absolutely nothing to do with that, and you know it. Stop with the propaganda.
I see your point, but malaria is 1) debilitating and 2) kills hundreds of thousands per year. With unlimited funding for research, it would make sense to try to cure all the things. Since that's not the case, should we really be shifting priority away to diseases that effect fewer people?
You must have had a better experience with it than I did. More power to you.

Investors in those LBOs aren't better off with the collapse of those companies. Even sophisticated investors sometimes make terrible judgement calls. Failure was not their objective.

The notion that that investors don't want their investments to spectacularly fail should really be self-evident.

Suppose the foreign entity decided to flout that law, and never did acquire a bond, or reported a nonexistent bond. Would it be Amazon's responsibility to detect this situation, and what remedy would be available to the customer regardless?

There's very clearly a "more vs less government" stance being taken here. OP very clearly takes the side of "less government". Other comments on HN, reddit, on the street are very typically (when on the topic of regulation) either "regulate everything" or "regulate nothing". If you believe otherwise, then I would LOVE to know where I can mingle with folks who don't see things as one extreme vs another, because that's literally all I see here.
The shorter key length better reflects the actual security of the cipher - the longer key lengths were misleading.

I have heard several stories like yours, and none of them ended well.

It has not happened to me, because I would have quit after even a single missing paycheck -- the job market for software developers is just too good for anyone to be willing to put up with this kind of abuse.

I really hope you are looking for another job rather than staying where you are and hoping to get a paycheck. And I also really hope you are talking to a qualified lawyer about this.

Istanbul. The company I work is very small but our customers are from top 25 in Turkey. There is pretty much work and number of our customers have increased. So, no issues on the finantial side of the company I work. When I started my employer told me that he will pay social security partialy until we move our office to technopark or until the end of my 6th month. We have moved our office to a technopark (no VAT or less VAT) and its been 3 years after te end of that 6th month. Still was't paying my social security fully. I emailed him this topic 3 afternoons in a row and he was like "you are annoying my private life", I told him "I'm sending email to your work mail about work. I'm not sending you WhatsApp messages to your private number at 1 am like you did few times in past!". I told him that I'm not going to be silent. And he was like "you are threating me". And then proceeded like "oh, don't you worry about my refference about you to your future employers!". Basically he threatened me. But at the end he had to pay my social security fully. I'm still working for him. But because of his threat I have less chance of finding a new job. Thus I don't have any other option but to create my own company. Guess what? I am going to be his next competitor. I'm not his sheep. People died for their basic rights. Let's not get silent when someone tries to steal your rights, at least we can speak up.
why is robbing one person an offense that gets incarceration, but robbing a hundred people may not even get you prosecuted?

In the latter case (where you describe "robbing a hundred people"), are you referring to wage theft? Because if the employer is not using violence or threat of violence, then by definition they are not "robbing" people.

That was the entire point of my post: theft and robbery are not the same; robbery is theft + use/threat of violence.

"Choice" implies that they are just fine with doing it. More often than not, the victims think that they don't have any recourse, that they can't afford a lawyer or the time away from the new job to take care of it.
As I recall, Herzog Zwei has a few key differences from modern RTS games:

1) The player fulfills the commander role by directly controlling a unit on the battlefield, not in "god mode". The commander unit isn't merely a stylized cursor; it also directly engages in combat.

2) No base-building or tech tree. The number, location, and capabilities of all bases are fixed.

3) No explicit resource gathering. Money is automatically accumulated based on how many bases you control.

It's arguably closer to a MOBA than an RTS.
As a C coder I find myself trampling over my own memory a lot.

Say you have a pointer somewhere that points to a struct, and then once every 10 million iterations of a set of 20 functions that pointer gets written over by a string that lacks a NULL terminator occasionally. So your program crashes in a completely random place that has nothing to do with the origin of the bug. That's the problem with memory safety. But the lack of memory safety is also very powerful, you can malloc a chunk of memory and then use it in extremely creative ways, you really see some peoples genius shine when you read their source code, in a way that I haven't been able to see with other languages.
It's more a concern that unless I take the company off my LinkedIn and resume, when I go to apply for a new job inevitably someone will ask the people who screwed me over, "Hey what did you think of him?" And that person will then get to say whatever they want... and it could torpedo my job application before I get a chance to build enough rapport to counter a BS claim / or won't even get the chance to tell my side of it. I worked there for a year, and I'm mostly proud of the work I did -- costly too to lose a year of work history.

Removing characters you know to be illegal and then trying to run it anyway is asking for trouble. If it contains illegal characters, it should fail immediately.

> They aren't being forced to work for their employer.

So true... Every weekend I go for interviews and get job offers, and I have 6 months of rent and bill money saved up in case of an act of God. The last time I lost my employment I just called up one of the employers and accepted the job. It's very weird that people act like they don't do this as well.
