fwiw -- i'm a very happy customer of amazon fresh. just an hour ago i received a $100 delivery (+tip). I think the $15/month subscription fee (on top of the amazon prime annual fee) is pretty steep though. But it's still worth it for me.

I live in the city and don't have a car, and grocery delivery is a huge benefit for me. I remember several years ago, I'd take a $30 uber ride to my preferred grocery store, buy ~$100 worth of groceries, and charter another $30 uber back. the extra transportation cost + the physical hassle of lugging all those groceries around, is something I never hope to repeat again.

There are so many fake reviews on Amazon that the "average" stars for a product are no longer reliable indicators of quality. Especially for cheap electronics (read: headphones), products that have only been listed for a month somehow have hundreds of 5 star glowing reviews.

When I do research nowadays I have to deliberately select the 1 star reviews to see if there is a real issue that's glossed over by the paid reviews.
Look at it that way and pretty much anything is a cult, at which point I’m not sure the label means anything anymore.
So, this system, if it ever got wide use, would rely on users remembering which "unique" colors were randomly assigned to them by whichever sites they use.

I was thinking, "Gee, if a scanner put a random color bar at the top of the phishing emails, how often would the color look close enough that the user couldn't distinguish between it and their own color, at least without comparing the colors side-by-side?", but I'm not convinced users would even remember their colors after the second or third one.

(And if course, this is very flawed for the color-blind and utterly useless for anyone using screen-readers.)

I have now several DVDs where the first menu asks me to select one of 6-8 languages. Then it shows me the unskippable copyright ads (you wouldn't steal a car blah blah blah) localized.

Then we get to the main menu which is English only, regardless of the language you selected. The movie itself is in English, subtitled in at most 3 languages, reachable only from the remote control button (ignoring your first language selection), and sometimes these 3 are different from the 6-8 copyright ad languages.

It's fun to see the copyright ad in Russian or Italian.
Let us make it even more direct. All government employees who commit crimes while in the employ of any government agency should have the record made public if it leads to disciplinary action or above a class C misdemeanor which for many jurisdictions is fines up to 1k.

teachers, police, and fire, are some of the most protected classes of people when it comes to findings of wrong doing. Yet they are in positions we give our highest trust. From cops breaking the law to teachers getting caught abusing children, all are facts that are hidden from the public and at times only result in an offender being reassigned to different positions with pay.

having an accountable government starts by holding the individuals in it accountable. I would not just start with the three I listed, I would put them right in the same starting group as elected officials.

There's a whole book on the diet with a lot of science, but the very short summary is, no, it doesn't quite work like that. For one, the recommendation is to eat at the beginning of your day (skip dinner not breakfast). But also, most people who eat like that don't actually limit themselves to eight hours. That was basically how I was eating, skipping breakfast, but I was still having a late night snack, and sometimes an early morning snack. I basically just dropped the snacks, but that's not really the right diet.
Although I'm giving Snyk (at least their marketing guys) a hard time for this, their tool does the same. An awesome feature is that they can actually open pull requests with fixed versions (if available) in your repository to get this stuff fixed. Depending on your setup, this means you immediately get continuous integration results and that a developer can quickly determine to perform an automerge (which in case of minor version updates you usually can). Really cool stuff.

I'm just making the case that the spiritualist argument is rational.

Humans in every culture since the dawn of time have referred to 'spirit' or that which seems to animate matter.

Yes - 'laws of the universe' we take as a given because they seem to work for us, in paper fairly well.

But you know what we also take as 'a given'? That you are alive.

'Your life' is kind of more important to you than science. Life itself, and the expression of it, seems to be our #1 concern.

That once branch of thought, Scientific Materialism doesn't by definition allow for life to exist, doesn't deny the nature of life.

1) Not 'quantum observer' - your spirit, soul, or some other scientific description. The word doesn't matter.

2) The evidence the universe is more than a pile of particles is life itself. And consciousness.

3) "Science can't explain life" - it's worse: Scientific Materialism rules it out completely by definition. If we decided that 'the universe is mathematical rules' - then - 'there is no life'. Creating life in a test-tube probably won't give us the answer.

FYI Science also has a problem describing why simple objects can ultimately make up very complicated ones with different problems, it's called 'emergence', it's a field of study.

Finally, I'll refer you to the the concept of 'biocentrism' - which is a more material outlook at the subject without getting so overtly metaphysical, and it's done by real scientists. [1]

Deep breath.

I know that I'm going to be thought a heretical fool for saying this, but overall I would consider CBC mode "more secure" than GCM. Of course encrypt-then-MAC would be preferable (which TLS now supports, though implementations are scarce) ... but even with the broken Mac-Then-Encrypt variant that we have today ... still more secure.

It's a case of choose your poison. With the Mte CBC vulns, we've seen some pretty hard to implement padding oracles; I don't think that these attacks are in general practical or a big risk for real-world users and workloads. It's awful, ugly, stuff, but it's also something that the internet has been able to stay on top of with patching.

On the other hand the mass-deployment of AES-GCM, we've deployed a length preserving cipher as the world's default for network traffic. An exact length-preserving mode makes realistic mass content fingerprinting attacks far cheaper and more feasible. These are very practical passive attacks that happen mostly out of band ... so I think it's a mistake to make these easier.

In real terms, AES-GCM reduces by a exponential factor the amount of state that a FVEY-style attacker must maintain to mostly-successfully identify what webpages you are browsing. It's so much more feasible, in the realm of an undergrad term project, that I would be surprised if it is not occurring. Even a modestly resourced security agency with relatively sophomoric skills can do it.

To my mind, making a practical passive attack much cheaper, to the point that it may be occurring (though that's a guess, I have no information) to be able to turn our nose at a cryptographic construct that offends us, but is less practical to attack ... seems to me like the wrong trade-off.

At least with TLS1.3 and QUIC we can pad encrypted data and get a measure of length-hiding back; enough to at least raise costs for passive fingerprinting attacks (and raise those costs more than CBC ever could on its own).

I can see what you're getting at, but I hope you're not one of these people reporting it as a scam by posting reviews. I think it may actually be against Amazon's terms and conditions to 'review' a product you have not purchased.

What they say is

Which implies you must have purchased it somewhere.

It is curious. The company website for Gopher Protocol Inc. says very little in a lot of words.

It reads like they want to impress investors with buzzwords and acronyms, in the hope that they're daft enough fall for it.

Such gems as: "In order to manage the complexity of the system, Gopher is using validation techniques and methodologies in which functionality is verified by simulating and validating processes according to the system's description."

Also: "The hardware (CPU, RTC, more) and on-board software need to be synchronized together in order to execute a decision when to listen, go to sleep, wake up or remain in idle state."

I suppose that any increase in search traffic for 'Gopher Protocol' might get conveniently, though incorrectly, attributed to their company, which they can take to investors of a gullible disposition.
I do a powerlifting routine and sometimes work out while fasted (16+ hours). Doesn't make a difference to me to be honest but I haven't tried a 24hr or multi day fast. However, my lifts are quite sensitive to sleep patterns and if I'm not well rested my lifts can suffer 5% or so (15% seems pretty large? That's a 45lb difference on a 300lb squat!).
That’d be my read too. You can definitely be “too clever.” Laws aren’t like computer code. They’re interpreted by humans. And, if you’re “too cute” and violate the spirit of the law, you can quickly find yourself on the wrong side.
just back it up frequently?
Probably unfounded, unless you're in the uncommon niche of having very low body fat and not exercising regularly (a few days a week). Depending on how long you fast, of course. 12-24 hours isn't going to make all that much difference.
One additional difference is that the psychic is being personally enriched by the money, whereas the Mormon leaders are not being personally enriched. (At the highest levels they get a stipend, of around 120k/year last I checked). Now this is not true of other churches necessarily, but it is true of the Mormons.
Most of these questions can be replied with a "No" or "Nothing", without contradicting the scientific view of the world.

Agreeing to such answers at the emotional level is an entirely different enterprise, quite hard for many people. Many people would rather feel content than learn a bit of uncomfortable truth, and I'm not going to judge them.
This is mostly pervasive because of agency/client relationships. Most clients go to an agency with a budget, and the agency, in good faith, is out there paying location data services to target their ads. Then a report is generated, passed to the client along some sort KPI that increased, and everyone is happy. This fraud exists because the market allows it.

I think you can assume that Amazon operates in its own best interest. If fake reviews were hurting sales, it'd stop them within weeks. I'm guessing, for the time being, they're helping sales. Although, I haven't bought anything on Amazon in 3 years now, and I never will again. I think this problem is creating HUGE long-term downsides. Those are a lot tougher to calculate/quantify than the short-term benefits, though.

Most of the big government states and many of the small government states give police a very wide berth and (until very recently) have had no problem enacting authoritarian policy, heavy handed policing, double standards for government and police, etc, etc. If you want the good of big government you have to make peace with the bad and historically people have made peace with a lot of "the bad" and buried their heads deeply in the sand with regard to police misconduct and similar matters.

This is only slowly beginning to change now that more police behavior is recorded on video and the public (and the politicians who control the government bureaucracies and who rely on support of said public) is less able to turn a blind eye to police and government misconduct.

Things are generally trending in a good direction when it comes to tolerance of misconduct by police and in government in general. Give it a decade or two.

> Along those lines: why do they still value reviews that aren't associated with a purchase? This is the logical first step.

Sometimes I review products on Amazon that I purchased elsewhere to help others who might be considering the product. If we didn't have fraud, those would be really useful.
You should really try to learn from the well-reasoned explanation of why your initial hunch was wrong, instead of continuing to try to argue the point with increasing levels of obviously wrong grammatical and legalistic hairsplitting.

Law is a system that, to a certain degree, depends on reasonable people employing commonly accepted rules of logic and teleology. It is not a programming language that can be “tricked” by superficial attempts at “being clever”.

My apologies. I should have said "recoverable" rather than "enforceable."

I would assume that if a company is in trouble with the FTC, it's probably not in the best financial shape after paying even the costs associated with the suspended judgment. So if the FTC finds that the company made an omission and the full judgment comes due, will it actually recover that money? Or is the point to just fine them out of existence, without concern for actually recovering the money?

"Prove" is a funny word. No, I can't "prove" there are no pink elephants in interstellar space. But based on our understanding of the universe, we can dismiss it out right. Claims of psychic powers are basically the same.
Except you can observe a bank robbery, so that analogy is just a self-serving hypothetical.

I think psychics are a bunch of baloney too, but by definition the supernatural is not natural and not provable/disprovable. Let's not pretend that the act of disproving has some magic reach because then psychics or creationists or whoever will latch onto that overreach as a defense.
> Science does not give any answer, satisfying or not, to those questions

Of course it does, as its very basis is that there are no supernatural forces influencing anything that the science observes. Or to formulate even simpler: there are no "miracles": if something happened, it was possible to happen. You can't postulate "and then the deity came and intervened" if you are doing scientific inquiry about some event. If you could everything could be simply explained by deities playing around.

Therefore, the scientific approach to human history is also very simple: it's the people who invented the gods, and not vice versa.

So you can personally believe in deities somehow, but if you try to explain your scientific work with their involvement, your work would immediately not be scientific anymore.

To give again a simple example, Newton didn't try to explain the movement of the planets with angels pushing them around, but with the plain physical laws. And it worked. Newton believed in god(s) somehow, but he hasn't let that interfere with the laws. Then he did some other works which involved gods, but these aren't science.

It's that simple.

" don't quite understand the fascination of the HN crowd with intermittent fasting."

I do hope that you will try it. It costs nothing, takes a negative amount of time since you gain at least a meal of free time out of it, and further, many people (like myself) find that it enhances athletic output.

I have never been on a "diet" in my life and have no affinity toward them (or that line of thinking at all).

You'll note that "diets" all focus on new and interesting things to eat ... fasting is the opposite of that (IMO, flawed) line of thinking.
