Xtribe conviene più di Amazon
Fare acquisti online è l’evoluzione inevitabile dello shopping. I rivenditori sono impegnati a costruire nuove relazioni con i loro clienti sul web, ma affidarsi all’online è davvero un’opportunità per i commercianti? Solo in parte. La necessità di ampliare il proprio business, e di raggiungere target più giovani, ha fatto propendere molti retailers a puntare massicciamente sul commercio elettronico, dimenticando il ruolo fondamentale dei negozi fisici. Al momento, ci si divide ancora tra chi è disposto a spendere qualcosa in più per una piattaforma propria e chi si affida ad Amazon o Groupon. Ma quanto costa vendere su Amazon? Tanto. Infatti, la commissione media sul prezzo della transazione è del 15%, oltre al costo delle spedizioni, della pubblicità e dei resi. Per vendere sul marketplace di Amazon infatti, bisogna pagare una quota mensile (39 euro), più una commissione di segnalazione per ogni articolo venduto. La commissione di segnalazione è una tassa sulla gestione delle transazioni e varia a seconda della categoria a cui appartiene il prodotto venduto. In media si paga il 15% sul prezzo della transazione, ma per alcuni articoli la percentuale è anche molto superiore. Sui prodotti per l’intrattenimento, come Libri, Musica, e Videogiochi c’è poi anche una commissione di chiusura. Facciamo un esempio: se decidiamo di vendere libri su Amazon, su ogni prodotto dovremo pagare una commissione di segnalazione del 15% sul prezzo finale più una commissione di chiusura fissa di 1,01 euro. Bisognerà poi sobbarcarsi anche il costo delle spedizioni, della pubblicità e dei resi.

As much as this is off topic, I'd like to continue this conversation. Do you have any details/reference for point 1?

I've been using rclone (got the recommendation here) which has been reliable.

Also, does anyone know if Backblaze has any plans to offer u2f? I've switched dns and email providers to get u2f.

More often than not, those people have previous mental health problems and LSD throws them over the edge. Sometimes the trigger is a getting your head hit, sometimes receiving a prize, sometimes getting dumped, sometimes after giving birth.

At the end of the day you don't see any correlation between psychedelic usage and mental health issues, same as with the examples I gave. LSD is an emotional earthquake, and should be treated as such.
I am based in the UK, and as such my opinions are based towards a national health service free at the point of use.

Odd, that pistol article seems to include revolvers. It's almost like you're being needlessly pedantic.
For fonts every big company does its own thing too. San Francisco is an Apple font you won't find outside their ecosystem. Arial, Courier New, Comic Sans, etc are Microsoft fonts (or popularized by being shipped on Windows 3.1). Roboto is a Google font and used by all their products.

It just happens that fonts are mostly handeled by operating systems providers while emoticons are mostly handeled by chat system providers. That has historical reasons since beautifully rendered emoticons were used as a selling point long before emoticons were added to fonts in the West (Japanese code pages did have emojis, so things might have developed different if chat was dominated by Japanese companies instead of American ones). Meanwhile providing custom fonts wasn't feasible for websites for most of the internets existance, so that hasn't caught on yet as something web-based companies like twitter do.

Koreans are fairly outspoken about their own problems. They make a big fuss about having to work long hours and not being paid enough for it. A new law just came into effect that makes it illegal to employ someone for more than 52 hours per week (with various exceptions), so there's been even more fuss about it lately.

In Japan, the first rule of overtime is that you don't talk about overtime. Especially not to a researcher from an international organization who might badmouth your country.

It's a very good point that presenting two polar positions does not necessarily mean bias is removed, and may indeed remove more nuanced positions from view.

Perhaps my reticence comes more from the fairly dual nature of Kialo's discussions: an initial premise, and then points strictly for or against that premise, which makes it difficult to discuss, say, middle or nuanced positions. But that may not be the role of the platform to fit all those nuances into one discussion, either; that could easily be a use case for spinning up a new discussion, instead.

Glad to see you trying to set this kind of ground for discussion, regardless. I do hope it becomes a useful tool for people to dissect these discussions and gain an accurate understanding of arguments instead of a distorted one; I think that may be one of the most valuable aspects of this tool, by a long shot.

How to get back into Java again after years?
For someone who used to be very proficient in Java, what would be a good way to get back into the language again?

I used to work professionally with it until about 2011/Java 7 - then pursued a university career (machine learning, data science, etc.), and now will likely get a job which again requires me to use Java. What resources would you recommend looking into for getting back on track? I'm interested especially in

- new language features introduced since back then

- popular frameworks everybody uses nowadays

- software projects that use modern Java (and may need contribution)

- any recent books about modern Java development

Looking forward to your suggestions!
BS! All modern chips do not thermally throttle!

Only ones in systems that have not been designed correctly!

The fact that the Aero x15 he tested with the 2.2Ghz base clock 6 core i7 can all core boost to 3.1Ghz in the same workload that brings the macbook pro far below it's base clock speed proves that!

P.S, it does not matter what program it is running, throttling is a hardware flaw!
I suffered for almost 15 years with something that was supposed to be easy to fix. The medical industry incompetence and exploitation is not limited to a country. The problem is world wide.
As an extra insult, the page shown then has the preferences (which you have to get to through several smokescreens, where only one path is correct) reverted back to the original "enabled". Like showing you a contract with fine print, then after you carefully read and crossed out stuff in the fine print, they tear it down and pull out another copy of the original one. Their communication thus being: "fuck your choice, we think exactly nothing of it, are we clear enough?"

I really hope some group of lawyers will start smashing the corporations with GDPR lawsuits with no remorse. I intensely hope there's money to be made out of this.

Of course there's a correlation. You've just described one of the causes yourself. Giving people very focused nudges in precisely the wrong direction is absolutely a terrible and serious effect.

coffee is regulated?

the drug war is a politically and economically driven disaster that has created the single largest wave in history of disrespect for law, laws, and our legal systems.

Law, as a system, draws 100% of it's authority from the notion of being an externalized codified form of social morality. The minute Law ceases being moral and becomes merely an obvious instrument of power it's basis flounders.

If you want a world with less problems, the drug war must go immediately.
> Unregulated' almost means 'ubiquitous' and also much more integrated as part of 'accepted behaviour' in society

Does it really? It's easy to think of examples of behaviour that's legal but unacceptable to lesser or greater degree (increasingly smoking, "exotic" sex practices like BDSM and sex parties, using the n-word, making fun of minorities, ...)
“ And I think they should remain so, because from what I've seen the damage from misusing those drugs against pharmacists' advice is far less than the damage from going without them due to the difficulties encountered in seeing a doctor.”

When people start self prescribing antibiotics even for minor stuff, it’s not a problem because of the minor risks to them, but because of the major risk to the entire society. We are seeing more and more antibiotic resistance germs and if we don’t collectively work to reduce antibiotic usage we end up exasperating the issue.

Does the internal GPU generate enough heat to throttle under typical conditions? Having the option for external GPUs is a completely different story.
OP asked a genius question and I hoped you have good reasons to counter him. But most of what you wrote felt like opinions and personal feelings.

I understand that non-regulated psychedelics use could potentially lead to many people hurting themselves, but that is not reason enough to regulate them IMHO.

We can not save people from themselves by regulations. What we could do is educate them.

I don't know what they're saying over on /r/lsd, but psychedelics can break you out of repetitive negative modes of thinking, giving you insights that last after the high is long gone. LSD is a tool that can work in in conjunction with other tools and changes you make in your life for some people some of the time.
Having read the description on the OECD website it certainly looks to me like part-time and temporary work are skewing the graph. Also self-employment appears to correlate on one end of the spectrum.

But as GP said, they acknowledge the data is unsuitable for this type of analysis entirely so it's all a bit pointless.

I heard (but I may have misheard / misremembered) they're actually planning to remove that emoji from the standard.

It's an er, interesting position that the emoji standards committee (if that's the term) finds itself in. Do they have the right to determine discourse? There have been small riots (if that's the right term) about skin colors, genders, family composition, jobs, and now about weapons as well. They have the job (which I don't envy) to design an international language that is able to express a lot of concepts and emotions on the one hand, but on the other not to offend if possible.

And then there's the implementers, who have to add an extra layer to it - like the Apple crash bug which was caused by a certain flag emoji being available in one country but not the other.
I wish to expound further:
The criminalization of possession and cultivation/fabrication of certain substances has created a highly lucrative black market providing revenue for entities that are less that concerned with our social welfare and more concerned with maintaining a hegemony of power.

Just a clue as to the overall impact lies in noting that the USA is the single largest consumer of Latin American cocaine production, and the role this has played in creating a climate where cartels drive governments.
(not to mention black money opportunities for shady governmental entities to dip in and out of, a la Oliver North...)

which is of course the entire content of the article.

The data source (OECD) isn't blameless either: the default/main view of the data (https://data.oecd.org/emp/hours-worked.htm) shows exactly what their disclaimer says you shouldn't do.
Yes! After reading this you can't stop seeing dead butterflies everywhere.

Take a look at the images in the paper...

It's rather a squiggly mess of lines... I can understand why it's hard!

Personally, I think we need even higher resolution imaging. We need to be able to do 5nm thick layers.

Obviously at that kind of resolution, we won't be able to store all the output data, so we're going to need to run this kind of segmentation and connector analysis in real-time as the data is generated.

About the line cutting thing, does that lead to fights? If someone cuts in front of another, do they mostly accept that, or is it like the big fish eat the little ones? Do most people still stay in a semblance of a queue or does it just evolve into a pushing/shoving throng?
Yeah, it's a bit old, but here's an article about Backblaze not supporting metadata. [0] "It fails all but one of the Backup Bouncer tests, discarding file permissions, symlinks, Finder flags and locks, creation dates (despite claims), modification date (timezone-shifted), extended attributes (which include Finder tags and the “where from” URL), and Finder comments."

And I don't know if it supports U2F, but it does support TOTP.

Germany has the best configuration regarding work/life balance as usual.

When you are overworked you are too tired long term to create productivity improvements. When you can work less or make improvements to help you work less, you have a reason to create tools, processes, systems to work faster and more efficient.

Example: if you worked 65 hours resulting in 40 hours of actual work, there is little time for building systems and tools that help you, if you are working 35 hours and actually working 30ish then you have lots of thinking time and you actually work more when in work mode.

Humans need thinking time in their work, nearly all innovations come from problems found at work, where there is time to create long term solutions.

I believe even rote tedious labor can be creative and lead to innovation as long at there is time for open and closed modes as John Cleese puts it. [1]

> We've become fascinated by the fact that we can usually describe the way in which people function at work in terms of two modes: open and closed.

> So what i can just add now is that creativity is not possible in the closed mode. By the "closed mode" I mean the mode that we are in most of the time when {we are} at work.

> It's a mode in which we're very purposeful, and it's a mode in which we can get very stressed and even a bit manic, but not creative.

> By contrast, the open mode, is relaxed… expansive… less purposeful mode… in which we're probably more contemplative, more inclined to humor (which always accompanies a wider perspective) and, consequently, more playful.

> It's a mood in which curiosity for its own sake can operate because we're not under pressure to get a specific thing done quickly. We can play, and that is what allows our natural creativity to surface.

> When Alexander Fleming had the thought that led to the discovery of penicillin, he must have been in the open mode.

> But let me make one thing quite clear: we need to be in the open mode when we're pondering a problem but once we come up with a solution, we must then switch to the closed mode to implement it.

Germany with their low working hours, allows more thinking, open modes and creativity, that leads to productivity improvements for closed mode work.

The US system has efficiently worked out creativity and input from lower levels, more hours at work in closed mode and the uppers get to creatively move the resources around the board but are actually failing to grasp that they are missing half the equation, the open mode and creativity. They want their workers in closed mode while they are open to come up with efficiencies based on metrics, that misses whole swaths of knowledge from the actual work process and creativity that could be innovating to productivity improvements. The worker also finds little joy in an always closed mode job. Even if the job is a closed only mode job, less hours can lead to open modes that allow improvement even away from the work.

GPL doesn't affect knowledge, only code. You can go work on proprietary software using things you learned by reading GPLd code, don't worry about that.
As a Japanese, The author took the average number without considering the situation. The article said Japanese has average work time of 1,713 hours per year. Not much Japanese people work like that. There are either over-worked full-time workers or under-worked part-time workers.

Full-time workers work more than 2000 hours per year. part-time workers work about 1100 hours per year. The ratio of pert-time workers are increasing that's decreasing the average work time in Japan.

You see, there aren't many Japanese work 1700 hours per year. Just a over-working anti-productive workers and under-working poor workers who can't find the full-time job for some reason(school, child, tax, disability)

That's not true. The simple reality is that more developed countries don't need many hours of work, since they design products or run services (eg. financial).. so that poor countries are smashed with over-hours on manufacturing, logistic, etc.. The typical world order..

It actually happens in my company.. The coders are the ones who work more, and the ones who earn less - So.. apparently managers are the most productive here.

You pose a plausible hypothesis.

Empirically, it has been shown to be wrong.

Portugal decriminalized all drugs in 2000. In the Netherlands many drugs, including psychedelics, have been available OTC for decades.

Both of these case studies show that you can decriminalize drugs on a wide scale. In Portugal, is had less to a decrease of abuse. I don't know the stats on the Netherlands, but I have not heard of any dire outcomes in that country either.

The key is to route a portion of the money that has been thus far used for enforcement and punishment into education, treatment, and rehabilitation.
