And I note your positive points on ads, and agree. But come on, generally they're absolute sh!t. They slow the web down, they interfere with productivity, they deceive, they aren't clever. One in 1000 is actually funny. They're crap. I could go on.

A lot of psychiatry is essentially someone following a rote decision tree process to arrive at a DSM diagnosis. So if you do 1hr of research beforehand you can probably get a psychiatrist to diagnose you with any condition - and you'll also see how unnuanced most of their questions are. In your case with the anti-psychotics, you made the mistake of believing the psychiatrist actually cared and that answering that question honestly automatically put you in the subtree of their decision tree that ended up getting medicated with those.
No, you are misreading or misrepresenting what the article says. The measure is meant to stop houses that are meant for people to purchase and live in to be bought by investors to rent them out. The reason for that is that those investors are reducing the supply houses available for purchase, and driving the prices up.

Rental homes are still available for rent. Nothing changes there. The city invests a lot in affordable rental houses. That's not going to change. They just want to stop investors and speculators from snatching up the available houses.
Google knows what you buy on Amazon too. That's why Amazon had to start using emails like "Your order of [X] and 3 more items have shipped".

Previously, they'd list all ordered items in the email but because Google could grab that data via Gmail (for "relevant advertising purposes", of course), they changed their approach.
>takes more than some occasional greps

Of course at FB scale you'd automate this by creating a set of canary accounts with unique passwords that you perform a search for in the ETL pipeline, or some other handy place. This will at least catch inadvertent plaintext password logging.
Good point, though I consider that as just an implementation detail. Bypass sampling for designated system accounts and you will be able to see if systems leak cleartext secrets into logs or not.
Probably? I suppose the basic claim is that watches become rare and collectible where other kinds of jewelry tend to remain worth near what you paid for them (in the sense that the materials and craft involved aren't much different 30yrs from now). In both cases if you wear them regularly they will be worth less than if you sock them away (and the watches will need to be oiled and adjusted).

> That's the thing - you're not an Amazon customer if you don't subscribe to Prime. You're the merchant's customer, you just happen to be shopping through Amazon's site.

No, he's probably still the customer. Amazon still sells things itself (that's what "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com" means). Amazon Marketplace is just part or Amazon.com.
Isn't Canada experience in the 90s an example of exactly that. Gov deficits ran out of control and the current collapse and finally the government had to cut services (raided the unemployment fund).

White supremacists don't typically claim to drive particular roads before going on a shooting spree that kills 50 people. They also don't advocate their ISP when doing ransomware. Pewdiepie has said some controversial statements, that whether intentional or not has attracted a fan base of white supremacists. Nothing he has said has been as controversial or impactful as it would be if a head of state said something similar, however for better or worse he has inspired them whether he wanted to or not.
Does your city have a local newspaper? Until it was shut down in 2017, I loved reading my small city newspaper over breakfast. Mostly everything was relevant, and there was a lot more focus on positive things.

Physical newspapers seem old fashioned, but it was a much better experience than online, and it was easier to say, "I'm done reading the news" and put it down. I didn't really read online news, because if there was anything really important, it would be in the National News page of the local paper.

This is true but not very interesting. Like literally every large tech company in the entire industry, Facebook has a specialized team of people that work on security --- it has one of the better versions of that team, for what it's worth. Just like ordinary Apple engineers, ordinary Google engineers, ordinary LinkedIn engineers, and ordinary Airbnb engineers, ordinary Facebook engineers don't have an end-to-end picture of how all of security at Facebook works.

There's no evidence that there was whistleblowing suppression about this issue anywhere at Facebook, is there?
The Romans in 500BC were buying decorative scupltures for their villas, medieval artists made gold jewellry for cash, renaissance painters employed entire studios of artists to churn out hundreds of paintings a year under a famous artist's 'brand'.

Someone who rents out a house on one side of the country and then goes to live on the other side of the country, is not available to his tenants when they need him. Also, if this is the only house he owns, he's likely not an experienced landlord and may have no idea how to provide the services that his tenants need and deserve.
Not surprising, since ads now cover maybe 25% of the search results screen. Buying on Amazon is a nightmare now with 10 identical-looking Chinese brands to sift through, and a review system that frequently shows reviews for a completely different model of the product in question.
"They don’t want people to keep writing COM/ActiveX code, and they don’t want search engines to point you to such pages, so why would a commercial entity spend money to keep those pages around?"

That would just be nuts. There is a ton of legacy code that needs maintenance and therefore needs documentation. this is not the JS world where it's OK to break stuff twice a year.
The fix is from the past. Cashless has lots of advantages, i don’t think 300 years from now money will be paper. (It wasn’t 300 years ago either). Technology changes, we should keep up with the times.

Data Is a Toxic Asset, So Why Not Throw It Out?

"All this makes data a toxic asset, and it continues to be toxic as long as it sits in a company's computers and networks. The data is vulnerable, and the company is vulnerable. It's vulnerable to hackers and governments. It's vulnerable to employee error. And when there's a toxic data spill, millions of people can be affected. The 2015 Anthem Health data breach affected 80 million people. The 2013 Target Corp. breach affected 110 million.

If data is toxic, why do organizations save it?

> and searchable by thousands of Facebook employees

Any time we use a big Web service we understand that there must some employee at that service who could see our activity, but we expect the number of employees who could see our data must be strictly limited.

Thousands of Facebook employees could see user passwords? If true, that is an amazing number.

I know that when I use Gmail, there must be some employee at Google who could potentially see what I've written. But I've also read that Google has strict controls about who could see my email, and the activity of their employee is logged.

What Facebook allowed sounds serious, if only because they were so lackadaisical about enforcing strict policies around data access.

Offtopic, but why is there such a disparity in the percentage of colour blind people between the male and the female population?
From the introduction of that paper:

One of the main contributions of Modern Money Theory (MMT) has been to explain why monetarily sovereign governments1 have a very flexible policy space that is unencumbered by hard financial constraints. Not only can they issue their own currency2 to meet commitments denominated in their own unit of account, but also any self-imposed constraint on their budgetary operations can be by-passed by changing rules. As such, this type of government is not financially constrained in the way that non-sovereign units are, so that it can focus on issues such as full employment and price stability.

This reads very much like the articles on MMT that I've been seeing.

Explaining why "monetarily sovereign governments1 have a very flexible policy space that is unencumbered by hard financial constraints" seems a lot like a green light for deficit spending. Maybe not advocacy, but something that will be used by advocates. I see it as similar to the way a research article might say that leafy green vegetables are good for you without telling you to eat them.

Later, the article continues:

"... All these institutional and theoretical elements are summarized by saying that monetarily sovereign governments are always solvent, and can afford to buy anything for sale in their domestic unit of account even though they may face inflationary and political constraints."

Saying a company is solvent to buy another doesn't mean that the writer is advocating the purchase, but it may be used by board members advocating the purchase.

Theories never advocate, they attempt to summarize a model of how something works.

Unfortunately, the model that MMT describes ignores very important details, such as the way that the implosion of debt-fueled asset bubbles interact with political systems to cause further bubbles.

Sure, both the ClientHello and ServerHello (which are the first two messages during setup) can contain arbitrary extension fields; these are already used for things like SNI, ALPN, "early data" (optimistic 0-RTT data), and so on.

Beyond the annoyance of the ads themselves, there is a serious problem of misaligned incentives in the current environment. Online content platforms are incentivized to show me content that will get them the most clicks so that they can get more ad impressions, even if that content leads me down a path of hate, ignorance, or self-destruction.
In this case, they were doing repeated voyages and running trade routes across these masses of ocean. It wasn't undesirables.

> Lush Soaps to Birkenstock are suing Amazon

The Lush lawsuit was from 2014 and had absolutely nothing to do with counterfeit items, it was about allowing advertisers to use the Lush keyword in search listings for ads.

Birkenstock is a good example of a case they will almost certainly lose. Courts have routinely ruled that marketplaces can't be held responsible for counterfeits that they don't control.

> the AAFA is requesting the US Trade Representative office to add Amazon markets to their list of known counterfeiters

That's a joke and should be treated as such. It's never going anywhere and is purely a PR campaign to get Amazon to more proactively work against counterfeit products. That's a fair goal, but hardly impacting Amazon's reputation among consumers.

> and Amazon is finally acknowledging to investors they have a problem

They've done so in their 10k in the past as well.

> but if you're just going to dismiss this as "business as usual" then it's not worth the discussion.

If the entirety of your evidence is silly requests and a mixture of lawsuits that either won't work (because they never have) or are entirely unrelated to the conversation, then yeah I'd say there's near-zero reputation damage.

That said, Project Zero indicates that Amazon is paying attention so they absolutely see some risk. But nothing you've presented suggests that Amazon's reputation as far as consumers are concerned has been impacted as of yet. Their annual sales growth seems to confirm that.
Why informing them and not resetting their password as a standard security measurement? I think the headline makes it even worse because it's so tone deaf.

This came up in something related: the Dutch Greens have been campaigning recently to reduce or eliminate flights to and from Schiphol within a 750 km radius, in favour of trains.

Answering your question, on the issue of price they note that no fuel tax is is paid on airplanes fuel and no VAT (21%) on flight tickets.

I think it’s a clever win/win play: reducing short haul flights in favour of railways not only reduces emissions and noise pollution, but it also frees up some capacity at Schiphol.

And there’s been some success already: the house has accepted a motion to eliminate the Schiphol-Brussels route.
> The next step is going to be neuroscience explaining the modes of action in a failure state and how these drugs restore normal function.

We've been waiting for that next step for decades without any progress. The drugs don't predictably restore normal function, we can't predict if they will and we can't explain away this failure as improper diagnosis. In point of fact, the very theories that led to the creation of many of these drugs have been debunked as incorrect.

> Modern medicine pivots on the promise that portraying human suffering as biological disease will lead to insight and cures. Inescapably, this enterprise has a sociopolitical dimension.

The point of the article is that Psychiatry hubristicly still assumes it will find these "methods of action" wholey within the brain. This is despite some pretty compelling evidence that many psychiatric diagnosis present themselves radically differently in different cultures and time periods.

The truth is, we don't know to what degree neurological structures or patterns cause these problems. How much of it is the stories we are told about what symptoms go together, how our brain works and how it can be fixed? How much of it is because of the social structure of cities, media and our work places? How much of it is simply labeling people who naturally function differently as ill and attempting to force them to conform to some ideal for our own comfort and ease?

In all likelihood, there is a complex interplay between some or all of these factors that varies from person to person.

I am very glad to hear that Psychiatry's approach has helped you personally. That does not mean there aren't structural problems with how Psychiatry approaches and talks about mental illness. Indeed, the whole point of the article is that the same structural problems that led to some horrifying results in that past century have not changed much if at all. This is cause for concern.
"It is sex-linked: genetic red-green color blindness affects males much more often than females, because the genes for the red and green color receptors are located on the X chromosome, of which males have only one and females have two. Females (XX) are red-green color blind only if both their X chromosomes are defective with a similar deficiency, whereas males (XY) are color blind if their single X chromosome is defective.[12]"

No one here is saying LGBT individuals shouldn't have access to therapy. After all, said individuals can be uncomfortable with their sexuality or otherwise feel like they have to hide who they are.

Conversion Therapy however, is not actually therapy by any stretch of the word. It's a wolf in sheep's clothing, a way of harassing, harming or attacking vulnerable individuals. This is why conversion therapy increases the rate of suicide in individuals and why so many conversion therapy clinics use abhorrent means of attempting to treat people. In this case the argument is correctly framed.
So I downloaded the app to take a look around. It has a lot of text and audio so there's no way for me to really review it comprehensively.

If there was something about gay conversion therapy in it I missed it. Maybe someone can point out where I can find it but it just seemed to be pretty standard audio sermons and text.

I think gay conversion therapy can be harmful, but I'm just not seeing it here....
Nowhere in the OP's post did they suggest that ads were their "biggest problem." You took it upon yourself to project that onto them and their comment. This post is about one of the world's most valuable companies getting into the ad business, the OP's comment is not out of place. There's was also nothing even remotely "self-righteous" about their comment. Lastly your own sentiment that you are glad that "ads allow some people to access content freely" is completely absurd and wildly misplaced in the context of Amazon. Exactly nothing on Amazon is free.

First: I was responding to someone who was using an explicit example of not buying straight from Amazon.

Second: The courts strongly disagree with you. You are drawing a thin line between marketplace and vendor. As far as the courts are concerned, they are not the same thing, and you absolutely do not have the exact same protections you would in purchasing directly.
