I would suggest leave it at that. Low barrier for entry means fierce competition. However if you want to try you should incorporate all of these points, also make sure you pay for fake instagram followers/comments/likes if you want to even try to start there. (It's standard practice there)

Is this for real? I haven't noticed the newest 2 on planes yet. The third newest is definitely where they should have stayed.
And all that money they saved increased demand for real estate, so not only does the younger generation get stuck with the bill for everyone who found a free lunch, but the younger generation now has to pay more for real estate because there’s less supply.
> What makes you think marchenko is not a US citizen?

The dead giveaway is "behaviour".

> Regardless, my original comment said "Western Culture", not "American Culture".

Your original comment referenced "western society". I referenced america because I'm american.

> Here in Australia I have definitely seen comments and heard people victim blame rape victims for their behavior, for sure it happens in the USA too.

Really? You've heard it? By whom? The media? Government officials? Judges? People in power? By society at large? Give me a break.

> Why would you accuse me of lying?

Because you lied. You implied that western society blames women. I already responded to you that was not the case. I responded directly to your comment that western society at large believes the accuser de facto and assumes the guilt of the accused. We as a society, in the US and I'm sure australia too, initially take the alleged victim's side. And as I said, even when the alleged victim turns out to be a liar, we ( as a society ) protect her identity.

But boy, there sure are a lot of foreign elements here pushing the divisive "US/West" is pro-rape and anti-women rhetoric. A couple of accounts responded with similar "personal anecdotes". I've heard people say "kill all men" or "women belong in the home". Doesn't mean that society at large supports fringe rhetoric.

Lets put it simply. When a woman says a man raped her. If you think our ( societal ) initial reaction to that is "what were you wearing" rather than being disgusted at the man, then you are lying.
Same. Amazon Logistics is a horrible thing and not worth the money.
But equally - does it matter?

I would rather have less, but more accurate, reviews than have all of them but many of them being fake.

It seems like a use-case where a high false positive rate would be acceptable. Unlike say, medical diagnosis or something.
Going to schools like that is more about having the right pedigree and connections. It’s much easier to get VC funding or get hired into a tech company as a stanford dropout than as a tripple doctorate from croatia.
Never heard of bandit algorithms before! Or if I did I didn't recognize it as something different from probability. What have people around here used them for?
Typically most Amazon products are shipped by Amazon Logistics now. So it's still a review of Amazon.

There are ways to develop in Eclipse that can target z/OS.

https://developer.ibm.com/zsystems/documentation/java/jzos/j...

https://www.ikanalm.com/solutions/devops-and-toolchain-orche...

However, the people who develop for z/OS are often people who are familiar with Interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF). It's a bit like whether people who are proficient in Vim or Emacs really benefit that much from an IDE.

There is also a unix shell with a z/OS interface:

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/zosbasics/com.ib...

But again, the people who program mainframe learn it through that environment. It would be interesting to hear from people who have used these sorts of set ups.
I didn't want to saying before but it sounds horrifying and repulsive to me, and it has hints of eugenics too. Thanks for the idea but it's pretty fucked up. It will lead to infringing on people's repoductive right's including coercing people in sterilization and it will give the government way too much power.
You are throwing together different issues.

Amazon has lax standards as to who can use them to sell their wares (leading to fakes being sold). That’s not UX or a UX dark pattern, that’s a business strategy. (Which doesn’t make it necessarily better or worse than if it were a UX dark pattern if you are judging it morally, it’s just something different.)

Amazon makes it hard to initiate returns. That might be a dark pattern. (In my experience the returns process for things Amazon sells directly or more or less directly, returns are straightforward and simple. Third party sellers are here, again, the problem. And that’s then more a mix of UX and business strategy, where third parties either cannot or are not required to use Amazon’s returns process but have to provide their own, e.g. fall back to writing emails back and forth.)

Reviews are overly enthusiastic, even though the sold product is not genuine. This might be an issue with fake reviews or uncritical customers (themselves unable to recognize fakes) or both – but it’s not really a UI dark pattern.

I would also argue that Amazon’s way of surfacing negative reviews (with the stars histogram and ways to filter reviews by number of stars) doesn’t suggest that it’s Amazon’s intention to hide negative reviews …
I find your usage of the wording “potential foe” to be fascinating. How would the UK ever hope or want to have a militant-aggressive stance against the rest of EU, in the age of nuclear tipped ICBMs, NATO, and list of actors ever ready to step into such a rift and cause chaos?

I mean, that doesn’t stop India & Pakistan to be dancing on that edge, so I guess there’s that. But really interesting that this possibility is even on anyone’s mind though.
How come touch screen displays were developed using public funding? What’s the story behind them?
It's true that not putting up road signs doesn't tie clearly to education and resources.

It's also true that societal education and resources over time correlates strongly with putting up road signs, as the Japan anecdote suggests.
> Aircraft have six degrees of freedom. But for the ground, birds, weather, and other aircraft there is nothing a plane can run into.

I would also add that aircraft are monitored by ground control stations, while cars are controlled by the driver alone.
Actually, no they couldn’t, assuming you’re talking about cell phones being the ground station. One, your cell phone doesn’t transmit with enough power to reach even a LEO satellite, and the existing protocols dictate a two way handshake. Second, what do you anticipate the phone to do with the data once it’s received?
How is this not an article about the AI bubble about to pop?

From what I read, the entrepreneur is trying to have machine learning interpret a written contract into a digital form, which the author of the article considers to be (close to) impossible. To me it seems AI is a profitable buzzword for the entrepreneur, without it having any practical use for their company.

If blockchain is a bubble, because the entrepreneur uses it as a buzzword,

then AI must be in bubble, because the entrepreneur uses it as a buzzword.
Yeah, it's a mistake to think that a meeting is always the most efficient way of doing things. Every meeting held costs the company thousands of dollars as people are not able to do other things during it, and so many companies just don't even think twice about adding anyone and everyone and don't think of how much it's costing them in productivity lost to other things because they just always assume that meetings are the best way to get things done.

I think it would be better if meetings were seen as the expensive beasts they are and only the bare minimum of people that can attend it, should attend it, and it should be considered (especially with routine meetings) whether or not the meetings even need to be held in the first place.
If you put the price on the free time (as e.g. opportunity cost, or cost of saving resources), you can see leisure as a form of consumption.

The problem of many Western societies is that the cost of leisure is too damn high for many.

This is partly because the efficiency of work (its value for advancing a business project) is non-linear with time spent. Someone spending 100 hours a week maybe pretty inefficient due to overwork and thus lower (even negative) quality of things done. Someone spending 10 hours a week could be also inefficient because the project moves faster (when everyone else around works 40 hours), or the competition moves faster. So there is a range of maximum efficiency, which is hopefully far from 100 h/week, but also likely far from 10 h/week.

"Gig economy" can help: you work hard 2-4 months for a high rate, then coast 4-6 months at a nice place with low cost of living. The problem, of course, is that you must have saved a pretty thick cushion of assets for the case when a new gig is not coming when you planned.
São Paulo is a city of over 12 million people, the largest city in the southern hemisphere of our planet, and is almost 10% of the Brazilian population. Almost everyone I meet with in SP is on time for work related meetings. I haven't noticed a difference between SP, the UK, the USA, or many of the other places I've worked. Generalizing about an entire country when that generalization is wrong for its biggest city makes for a good headline, but it's not responsible journalism.
I don't like to defend Amazon because they are getting shadier all the time, but I always ship to a Correos office near my flat from amazon.es and haven't had this problem (yet?). Maybe it isn't the same thing as the box though. I've seen random 3rd party items that can't be left at Correos, but they do tell you at the start of the process.
IBM Cloud Private Beta Using Vagrant
This is an important point.

Basically, once some start gaming the system - the others have to follow or they are dead.

It's similar to how irregular migration or general screwing over of workers works: if some farmers are paying 'under wages' or some factories are 'undercutting' ... then the others stand to lose business and are sucked into the same practices.

It's one thing when a massively successful entity like Amazon does shady stuff, but for most businesses ... it seems to often be kind of a quandary.
Freshworks raises $100M
That is interesting. In my case, I have had the best consumer-friendly experience when it comes to returning or replacing items in the US. Returning electronics, clothes etc. to Wallmart, Target, BestBuy was totally hassle-free.
When compared to Germany, the overall experience in the US is much better. Although Germans have "stronger" customer rights protection, in reality, you get less customer satisfaction. For example, a few days ago I purchased a pair of sunglasses from TKMaxx in Germany. After wearing it a couple of times, I realized that there are tiny scratches on them. I then took it back for a replacement. I was denied the replacement, because "the item didn't have the original price sticker on it". It was such a ridiculous excuse. I tear the price sticker the moment I buy the stuff. How am I supposed to test it to see if I like it without using it at all?
There was another friend of mine who wanted to get a replacement for a malfunctioning smartphone he bought in MediaMarkt. He was also denied the replacement in the first place. After a long "negotiations" he was finally given a new smartphone, which, again, would not happen in the US at all.
All in all, I find shopping experience in the US to be way better than in Europe.
How hack on 10k WordPress sites was used to launch an epic malvertising campaign
50k ground stations would be multiple orders of magnitude more than we’ve ever had. Also, 75% of the earth’s globe is water, if it’s a 1:1 pairing as you suggest, where do you expect to put 75% of those ground stations?
>There are many large and complex programs written in Haskell by large teams of developers (open source or otherwise).

How many of those projects regularly attract new contributors, vs ..say.. something written in python or C++?
Self published ebooks also fall under the category where a high proportion of the reviews are likely to be useless for evaluating the quality of the book even when they're noncommercial and sincere, because the initial reviews all come from close friends and family who are impressed by how creative Jonny is or hardcore sub-subgenre enthusiasts, and unless the book sells really well or is utterly atrocious rather than merely a bit mediocre there will be comparatively few reviewers interested in contradicting them.

So, you do support laws banning religious discrimination but support discrimination against say white supremacists?

The major reason people don't support lgbt rights is because of religion. Koran and old testament explicitly speak out punishments for homosexuality. Koran also says that for apostasy. Would you protect hateful speech against lgbt rights or athiests? If not, how are you determining the "true Islam" or "true Christianity"? Should we silence only the ideas you deem undesirable?

Religion is a sticking power, sure. But so does casteism, white superiority, racism etc. It is not easy to change ideologies (just like religion) and I don't think we want a government to actively ban any speech on them (if not calling for violence).
They are all correlated and I'm not pointing fingers. A society in which nobody give a crap ... it's hard to find people that will consistently rise above.
Very nicely said.
How and why we're sharing our financials with the world
> Linux and DOS/Windows have far more in common with each other than mainframe OSes, despite their huge differences, because they evolved from mini/microcomputers and UNIX.

Surely Linux and the Windows NT line (don't confuse the Windows 9x line, which evolved indirectly from DOS with the Windows NT line) have much more in common with each other than mainframe OSes, but Windows did not evolve from UNIX:

The Windows 9x line evolved indirectly from DOS (cf. [1]). DOS was inspired a lot by CP/M.

The Windows NT line is a spiritual succesor to VMS (cf. [2]). The kernels of both operating systems were designed by Dave Cutler, who did not like UNIX (cf. [3]). Indeed, Windows NT has I/O Completion Port (IOCP, [4]) as an - in my opinion - better I/O system than the UNIX process input/output model.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to mandate every commercial passenger plane transmit its location every second to a satellite (and be something that can’t be disabled from cockpit)?

1) the tech already exists (wouldn’t even require new satellites)

2) the costs involved are actually not very high

3) would help negate the security and reliability weaknesses of ADS-B.

Trout Tickling
Yes, depending on where you're from. I was raised to show up at the start time for events, this is pretty common in the Midwest. If the host is someone you know, you'll often ask if you can show up early and help prepare.

When I was in California a few years ago I showed up to a party a few minutes before the invite time. Not only was I the only guest there for the first ~30 minutes, but the host clearly wasn't expecting anyone to show up at the given time.
I don’t see what’s so bad about this. Just because 99% of businesses do it doesn’t make it ok. Encouraging happy people to leave reviews and discouraging upset people means the reviews aren’t accurate, and you turn them from a useful tool for getting outside opinions into a marketing tool that just benefits businesses at the expense of their customers.

I don’t see this as being any different from, say, getting a passing inspection from the health department by manipulating them away from the room where you keep all the cockroaches and rat feces.

I have no desire to go to Mars, but plenty of people had no desire to go to the Americas either, and yet someone did.

I don't think the fact that Mars is inhospitable is really an argument against it. I think there is a reasonable question to ask about how much would we be willing to spend to create/support a Mars colony, but I don't think it makes sense to dismiss out of hand just because there's nothing currently there for us.
Except, will they look elsewhere? The current trend seems to suggest otherwise.

Mmmm, I have a similar background (the C was long ago, the PHP not so long) but love the scoping rules and functional nature. I think that the C background (declaring variables up the top of a function) helped avoid some of the JS pitfalls, and I find the block scoping in JS to be convenient at times, whereas PHP's leaks things in ways that can bite you sometimes (e.g. a for loop in PHP would leak both the iterator variables and variables defined within it, while they wouldn't in JS).

The functional stuff was weird for a while but just keeps growing on me.

This seems to be BAU with Amazon these days and why I no longer trust their reviews en masse. You can still field high fidelity reviews, but unless it is for a large purchase it seems to be a waste of time. Amazon bolsters cheap (cost and quality) products. I wrote a 1 star for a set of poorly constructed LED bulbs where one exploded and created a fire hazard. This review was accepted, however a review of a product I purchased that came with the wrong model product (mistake or deception?) in the box was removed and it didn't matter what I tried Amazon would not give me a reason why.

Amazon is a machine running off of too many fake reviews and so I've been significantly cutting back supporting them by purchasing from. I'm sure, eventually, my return requests will be revoked due to a low review or when their algorithm shows my purchase cadence declining. At that point I'll be done.
Oh jesus. These guys thought the what.cd interview was too easy, didn't they?
A company I know was aware of this tactic, and bought their own items (through proxies) ~20 times, and two of those had to use 4-star reviews.
