Ask HN: Why do companies sell products cheaper on Amazon vs. their own website?
Why do companies sell products cheaper on Amazon than on their own website? It would seem better for companies to at least price their products on their e-commerce website the same to build a direct relationship with the customer and not pay Amazon a cut.

When I'm buying a product, I often go to the company's website to learn more. Often, I'd like to buy from them directly. But then I find that their same product is 20-30% cheaper on Amazon. It's like they almost don't want you to buy directly from them.
Interns might be a special case. They're younger, and the company has something of a duty of care.
Interesting then, that they chose to do this instead of giving monetary and technical support to the already established opendns.org

> One of the primary reasons for the redesign of the Plan 9 security infrastructure was to remove the authentication method both from the applications and from the kernel. Cryptographic code is large and intricate, so it should be packaged as a separate component that can be repaired or modified without altering or even relinking applications and services that depend on it. If a security protocol is broken, it should be trivial to repair, disable, or replace it on the fly. Similarly, it should be possible for multiple programs to use a common security protocol without embedding it in each program.

> Some systems use dynamically linked libraries (DLLs) to address these configuration issues. The problem with this approach is that it leaves security code in the same address space as the program using it. The interactions between the program and the DLL can therefore accidentally or deliberately violate the interface, weakening security. Also, a program using a library to implement secure services must run at a privilege level necessary to provide the service; separating the security to a different program makes it possible to run the services at a weaker privilege level, isolating the privileged code to a single, more trustworthy component.

The paper goes on to explain how the various cryptographic services are exposed as a file server. This is the Plan 9 way of doing things: have lots of small programs that talk to one another.

I think it is worth noting that if it becomes cost effective to have a robotic arm setting up your coffee and enough customers appreciate the intrinsic benefits, businesses will move towards that direction. In the future, we might see human-led coffee shops as a niche market!

In terms of human interaction, just like in the past, humans will always find ways to get their share of interaction.
To add to this: contrary to popular belief, the type of housing built in China is not particularly cheap. Mid-to-high rises cost about 2-3x as much per square foot to construct as tract housing. So even if labor is 1/2 the price in China as in Germany, they type of housing stock might be 3 times as expensive to construct.

Sure, regulations might be more lax in China. But, the point is, the Chinese market is very different from Western markets.

Assuming Sweden is similar to Finland, I think the main point is not avoiding robberies, but just to save money.

Here, visits to bank branches have been in decline for decades now, especially for cash services, so it makes sense for the banks to reduce the amount of locations that offer those services to save money.

In 2018 there were 854 bank branches in Finland, compared to 1627 in 2007 and 3600 in 1985. Population is 5.5M.

This also has the effect of increasing cash handling costs to businesses if they have to get cash services from a bank branch that is far away.

Controlling False Discoveries in Large-Scale Experimentation
Thanks. Per your 2nd para, why not, what's different in you legally allowing the availability of the most deadly means in the two contexts?
It's not really about process isolation then, but the amount of control untrusted code can have over a process. Which means if everything that code can do is masked to some part of the process, it should be able to achieve the same isolation between such subprocesses but within the OS process boundaries. Although the paper claims this is too hard.

> don’t split login across multiple pages

At a company I work with, we found that splitting account creation and login fields across several pages actually simplified the account process for customers and led to increase sign ups and more reliable log-ins. It’s not as efficient for password managers—I use 1Password, too, and it’s a minor friction point for me personally—but for users, we have some evidence it actually increases clarity through focus.

Back when I was a teen, I used to strip out the vocal tracks on stereo music, by disconnecting the speaker ground wires from the back of the amplifier and connecting them to each other (so each speaker would ground against the other one). Since the vocal was "center", it had the same waveform on both speakers, so the speakers couldn't make a sound if they couldn't dump the ground to something. And the instrumentals weren't distorted too much. At least it worked good enough for a cheap Karaoke setup.
"Professional model" is a common phrase that has nothing to do with licensing, just that someone is paid to appear in a photo.

Old: Manufacturers create advertising, including professional models. Journalists write reviews, but aren't generally in photographs of the items. Manufacturers try to build positive relations (influence) with journalists in various ways.

Social media influencers: Self-selected individuals produce content about products, often including themselves as the "models" in the product photos, hoping to build a following so they can get paid by sellers for publicizing products.

It's all marketing, and almost all of it is fake, and it requires finding voices you trust and agree with.

Show HN: Employee equity made simple
Hey folks,

I’m Florent, ex- YC founder (Skylights S16). I'm currently building https://quid.li with Justin (KPMG, Rocket Internet) and Gagan (Vetted, Origin Protocol).

Quidli allows business owners to create company equity plans and share equity with employees in just a few clicks.

We help business owners to fill all necessary details with user-friendly UX designed to help them understand the implications of their actions. Then, legally binding contracts are created and sent for signature to the appropriate persons via HelloSign.

Using Quidli, it's possible to complete, for free, an equity distribution to employees in less than 10 minutes. There's no need to involve a law firm or to spend a lot of time to understand all the legal details.

We're doing the following:

- For this MVP, we address only the case of C-corps in Delaware. This represents a majority of US startups so we can focus on making a great product for a single use case (YC style).

- Our templates offer the right degree of customization. There's less customizability than if you use your lawyer, but we boiled down the process to the absolute necessities so that using Quidli should be a no-brainer for startups.

- Our templates are built by a law firm we partnered with, and we put a lot of attention in being sure that neither a client company nor its employees will end up screwed by common pitfalls, like for example having to exercise options with no cash.

- Our process uses RSUs designed to vest at a company's exit. One of the main advantages is to protect the RSU owner from having to pay any taxes on their equity before their company reaches an exit event.

We just released our open MVP so we’d love to get feedbacks. Also, if you're interested in using it but would like to talk first, don’t hesitate to reach me directly: florent@quid.li

> SF's issues aren't caused by swanky new jobs, they're caused by NIMBY politics.

What are Seattle's issues, caused by, then? Because if you look at the Seattle city skyline, you'll find it absolutely covered in cranes. This town of 700,000 people, in a state of 7 million people, has more active cranes then any other city in North America.

It's a construction free-for-all here. And I consider that a good thing - but clearly, its not enough to keep me from having to step over human shit on my way to work.

We also have no rent control, no proposition 13, we aren't surrounded by water on three sides, and our suburbs are actually developing - so you can't blame those boogiemen, either.

But we do have an explosion of incredibly well-paid tech professionals... With the only thing trickling down to normal people being rent increases.
I think we need to be ensuring there are great jobs for Americans too. I think our economy needs both, and they’re not at odds.

But regarding expanding population, I totally agree with your skepticism. I think growth for growth’s sake is the underlying problem here and merits a whole conversation on its own.
I wonder if, given the fact that insider trading is 'legal' for people in positions like the congress/government - Perhaps they are negotiating on what the fine will be such that certain parties will profit off the outcome of whatever fine is negotiated.

It effectively reduces to the same thing

In no way is it the same thing. This comment and the tweet he linked to indicate that they believed the money was being paid to Amazon soon, and that because Amazon has backed out, that money can now be spent on government projects. That is just factually incorrect. The money does not and will not exist - it was an estimate of tax savings had the deal gone through.
It seems relevant - if company leadership is attempting to act in the best interests of the shareholders, the fact that the shareholders also own their competitors would tend to bias them against engaging in a price war (even one that they would have a good shot at winning).
Well, if it's anything like exotic cars, then I guess it works like this: if you walk into a Lamborghini dealership right now and buy an Aventador off their stock, then yes, that car will lose 20-30% of its value the second you put the keys in the ignition. That's just how it is.

But....if you keep buying loads of cars from Lamborghini, eventually you will end up on a list of people who get to put a deposit for brand new cars that haven't even been announced yet. And if you get an opportunity to do that, then you do that. Because then you get to buy cars like the Centenario, like the Reventon, like the Veneno - and you can be 100% certain that those will go only up in price regardless of what their sticker price is.
My security self hates this idea, because a single point of failure is not a good design. How would the key be revoked if lost? Replaced? This seems to necessitate a CA-type infrastructure (like TLS certs). Not something I'm comfortable trusting any corporation or government with.

I had a couple year stint where my job involved me flying 1-2 times a month. Not crazy compared to the road warriors but a decent amount of flying (almost all the flights were from one coast to the other so always long).

After going through that, and playing the airmiles game, airline miles seem to only exist to trigger human emotions around the fear of losing out and the same kind of dopamine dependency that's exploited by grindy video games and gambling. You need 5million experience to level up, and dammit, it feels so good when it rolls over.
i remember covering this sort of thing in my automata theory class. we used this textbook: https://www.amazon.com/Automata-Computability-Complexity-The...

I can't remember if it specifically shows such a proof in there, but you might look at courseware for automata theory and such.

In general, from what I remember, you would use a general technique called "reduction", where you try to make two problems equivalent, "reducing" solving one to the problem of solving the other one, kind of mapping one problem on to another, so that solving one solves them both. So, you reduce running an arbitrary Turing machine, to say, lambda calculus, almost like you write a "compiler" from a Turing machine with lambda calculus as the target language. Then, you reduce computing in lambda calculus to a Turing machine. So, then you know that each can compute what the other computes, and they can only compute the same things. If you only did one half, one reduction, you would only know, say, that a Turing machine could do everything you could do in lambda calculus, but it would leave the possibility that the Turing machine could compute things lambda calculus can't.
Isn't it weird that picking fruit and cleaning our houses are the normal examples?

I suspect that "picking fruit" is a dog whistle along the lines of "picking cotton", showing how people actually feel about Mexicans. The same goes for "jobs Americans don't want to do" actually. It's 2019 and some people want slaves, even if it isn't considered acceptable to openly admit this.

Much the same applies to "cleaning our houses", but with an extra helping of discrimination against Americans who would be willing to to that. Many of those Americans would be seen as a threat or as a fellow human being, depending on race, but a Mexican who speaks Spanish can be ignored like a Roomba.
