They wanted to block the diffusion of the video showing the Mosque shooting and the distribution of the killer's manifesto. Since it was being spammed on 4chan rather relentlessly they decided to pull the plug on the website basically.
There's going to be a massive rise in this sort of stuff over the next few years. Firstly consolidation, then organisations too large to care about their clients, then semi-automated punishment. Always remember that Amazon is in the same business as everyone and they can burn you down in a second if they decide they don't care. It's a pond full of bureaucratic crocodiles and the biggest one is boss. On numerous occasions companies have shipped me "fuck you" instead of what I paid for and Amazon won't deal with that. It's no better than a traditional market now. The good traders lose to the bad ones, the customers lose to everyone and the only winner is the landlord.

The only thing you can do is refuse to play.

I'd get a (off shelf) storefront up on a domain you control and can remain in control of and start looking for alternative sources of customers. If you have a customer database of any kind, send out marketing emails with product / brand relaunch. Start posting on twitter, insta, google adwords, popular related forums, everything you can. If you have a loyal customer base they will find you again. I know I would.

You seem to think that technical ability and ethics are somehow related. That's a sad misconception which leads to all kinds of bad results. There are many people with very high ability that have an ethical framework which would make them feel right at home in dictatorial regimes. They probably wouldn't even notice it. "I'm just doing my job" is alive and popular.
Yes, this is what I meant, you said it better than I did. As graphical features were added to DOS then it was rebranded as Windows by Microsoft. I guess at some point Microsoft realised that they had to have two distinct sets of code and that they needed to be different products for branding and legal reasons related to OS/2 and IBM. I guess it could have ended up being called DOS Windows or DOS Gui or something, but Windows was a much better name...

my depression went away when I switched my diet from Standard German Diet to Keto, the anxiety went away when I made the switch to carnivore.
Observed changes in mood and thought after consumtion of starch/plant food (The occurence of these effects takes about 4 days):
Frozen non processed Spinach: Anxiety - Thoughts revolve around other people wanting to get me or steal from me or my friends.
About one tablespoon of mashed potato and sauerkraut: depression - Suicidal wishes, low energy Thoughts and self talk are going in the direction of "everything is my fault, I deserve this suffering, I should be dead"
A piece of apple without the skin every day for a week: Depression, laziness, don't want to get up, move, walk the dog, everything is too much, I'd rather just play games all day long.

These effects keep going for about two to three days and then vanish suddenly and I can do my work and routine, workouts, clean my place, etc.

I did depression comics/art when I was trying to fix it with meds, therapy and excercise, I'd be happy to cooperate if someone would like to help me market the stuff https://www.deviantart.com/aszantu/gallery/52706431/key-proj...
In addition to all the mental health benefits, I like to point out that exercise important for body health and healing too because our lymphatic system doesn't have a pump!

Everywhere there are blood vessels there are lymph vessels, they carry away the interstitial fluid our cells are bathed in. That fluid contains some of the waste products from our cells. The lymphatic system is also an immune organ in its own right.

Often rest is the diametric opposite of what we need during convalescence or healing. Movement and exercise within our ability is vital.
Nice tutorial but it would be cool to also have "WTF" stuff explained. For example:

> parseInt('1')
1

> parseInt('2')
2

> parseInt('3')
3

> ['1', '2', '3'].map(parseInt)
[1, NaN, NaN]

> ['3', '2', '1'].map(parseInt)
[3, NaN, 1]

> ['1', '2', '3'].map(v => parseInt(v))
[1, 2, 3]
The grandparent gets it but not totally.

"All money is in the books of the central bank,[..]"

In the case of lending, it's the commercial banks where the money is created and destroyed. If enough reserves exist already in the system the central bank don't need to act.
> That's not a reasonable aim for positive effects on depression. If we can get positive effects from regular exercise, it's great. If it requires patients to get 'fit', it's really not.

In my opinion, if you are not fit, then it won't have as good effect as it would otherwise. That might be.. jarring a little bit, but I don't think an obese person can workout 30 minutes and then call it a day, and believe he'll reap the benefits. Maybe I am wrong, but I don't think it is so.

So the goal should always be to get in great shape, the best you can get (in your circumstances, I mean; age/cardiovascular fitness/joint health etc.)

Our default mode should be being fit and everything else an abomination.

> This: "change your approach to exercising, eating, sleeping, etc. There will be things that you have to sacrifice" is one of the hardest things to do in life.

Sorry, I just fail to realize how can someone consciously think that this is one of the hardest thing in life. We have really way different view of life, then. To me, it takes some work, but it's not even hard. It's just something you do for couple of hours in your day, that's all.

And the best part? There's no downside for you. Better health, mental and physical, longevity, mood, etc..
Well, 1500 hours, or 2 months in a row, thats a bit of a sad story. Not everybody here wants to waste their lives like this, there is much more to life. It may not feel like it, but once you discover properly amazing things you can do in your life (exotic travelling, adrenaline sports, whatever makes you tick), this behavior will look pretty bland and boring.

I have a colleague like this, and boy does he regrets wasting his life with online games of his era. Time that you can't bring back and spend in a better way.

So imagine, for those of us willing to spend maybe 10-20 minutes per day max at some simple fun (if at all), at our time, this kind of game is a blessing. Because you know, life out there, in analog world, can be pretty great and better than anything digital can bring.
1. Yes

2. I walk everyday by a large Bayer building, a company that sells chemicals that create cancer and sells chemicals that heal cancer. Hundreds of people enter the building every day and I think you just need to pay enough money, and you will always find people doing your work.
While interesting, this sort of approach starts with wrong premises, such as the simple existence of a singular quantity of "money" at any given time, or that people spend money sufficiently randomly.

If any of these things - and these things being what distinguishes social interactions and human behavior from particles - were the case, we'd have "solved" our economic modeling issues long ago.

From my perspective (economist with prior math background), what makes the economic interaction of humans interesting and hard, is precisely that these interactions can not be aggregated (in a well-defined manner) to simple statistical or behavioral laws - be it distributions or representations, even if certain outcome distributions are observable.

To my knowledge, econophysics - despite the strong marketing effort - has yet to produce new insights into the actual economy (and it has been going on since the at least twenty years).

I think this is not surprising. The economics research effort does not lack in mathematical sophistication, even if physicists like to believe that. In fact, in terms of strategic interaction, behavioral patterns and epistemology, I think the economic models are well ahead of physics models for describing behavior. But - no one is really all that close if the level of aggregation is high. That means, macroeconomics and matters of money supply.

It looks like your listing is removed but your account is still active. Is that right?

You need to do a little bit of research on the type of response they are looking for as far as your "plan". You are talking to them and sending them screenshots as if you are talking to a human that cares. They do not. Your messages are going into a queue of thousands where low paid, unskilled workers are skimming through then as fast as possible and clicking approve or deny.

You need to work the system, adjust your responses according to what their blanket response says and just keep at it. Modify your plan and resend it. But wait for them to respond each time before you message again.

Don't over do the detail. But create a numbered list with what you are going to do to correct the problem. I had the same issue with one of my accounts. It took maybe 9 letters until they finally reinstated me. There was nothing special in that 9th letter. It probably just got read by someone in a good mood that day.

If this is your first issue and you don't have any other serious issues with your account, you should be able to get it back.

A family member had the same problem recently. Amazon "deleted" all seller accounts in Europe, because they allegedly didn't sell anything. There was only an US seller account left to contact support. We send support requests over the request platform (forgot the name), to one of the email addresses we got from another support request and to a local post address of Amazon. We got answers from all sources, from different persons with quit different results. Some told us to use the EU support request platform (which was no longer available). Some answers told us the same thing the automatic email said.
There is no quality control here, no due process. Luckily (literally luck), all stores got reinstated after a week. At some point, we provided evidence that those seller accounts did in fact sell products and our requests were forwarded to an internal business department. There, finally, someone realized that Amazon made a mistake.

Our case isn't yours, but that's the only thing I can tell you. Shotgun initial requests to 3-5 addresses. Make it quit clear that you a) are generating value for Amazon b) want to continue doing so and c) fixed the issue (or better that there actually wasn't an issue and you got flagged for the wrong reason).

Ultimately, this is a question about policy. Big platforms need to be regulated. They are no longer a single business you can avoid. They are a platform, a monopoly holding influence over our daily lives, with the power to destroy financial existences due to algorithmic decisions. You never know beforehand what could go wrong, there is no proper way to contact Amazon in emergencies (like a hotline). You have no way to reinstate your seller account if Amazon simply says "no". (Maybe you could sue them, but you're going to be bankrupt long before that process is finished). Power imbalance is at the root of all injustice and exactly the reason we need rights to protect those with less.

I sincerely hope you can save your business.

First, there are all sorts of different "moneys". There's official definitions of M0 to M3, but those are just categories. Manner of payment is achieved in different ways, and all these things have different societal, economic and judical relationships to each other.

But speaking of the official classifications, money is not conserved or constant, can be destroyed or created and change its relationship to other categories. Ex:
https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Dd1sW5ny2F0/Tb1e6oteMuI/AAAAAAAAB...
Where M0 is cash, and M1 are funds directly available for payment and so forth.

I assume Dan really means a nested directory structure, like so:

django_project/top_level_app/second_level_app/

in top_level_app you then could do

from second_level_app.models import model1

or from a different top level app:

from other_top_level_app.second_level_app.mixins import a_mixin
Not to mention that being extremely fit or just trying to be means that your mind is being occupied by being busy, people will act more positively around you and you will also tend to sleep better.

Despite appearances we humans are much more animal than intellect, so that means the simple physical act will much more easily inform our mood and sentiment than just thinking alone.

Extra care should be taken with diet and rest to avoid lowering the immune system by over stressing the body too quickly. You don't want to catch a cold and interrupt your momentum.

And while M0 is usually the most stable, not only DOES cash get created and destroyed, this is even independent of loan/debit creation (which is another measure entirely).

Central banks may call in and destroy, convert, or give out cash to banks with and without changing loans/debits and so forth, for all sorts of considerations.

It's really not that simple.

What are the tradeoffs vs using the kernel ipsec stack?
It has a steep learning curve, but overall I think it forces you to adopt good development practices from the start. Since it generates C++ you can also easily wrap that code and expose it to python. That way you can use software tools instead of system verilog and can easily do integration testing with your software HAL. In practice our group uses commercial tools (synopsis, cadence) and DPI-C but for the most part this is because of the VHDL code we have. Vivado‘s build in simulator is way too slow.
You don't have to look very hard to find better examples of "torture" than being kept for a whole day within an office (with access to the bathrooms obviously, nobody was forced to pee in their pants).
I can't see how breaking up Amazon helps this kind of thing. Sure you could break of AWS, you could separate fulfilment stuff from the main marketplace and have Amazon itself just another marketplace seller, you could insist they use 3rd party courier companies, not start their own etc.

But fundamentally there is still a website that has listings and someone has to patrol it for quality / spam. Those people will have to use algorithms, and they will make mistakes.

Don't get me wrong. Breaking up Amazon is a good idea, and should happen, but it's unlikely to help here.
You need telemetry to find out how users
react to abusive notifications?

I run an ad blocker, so my perception of notifications is they're used for things like breaking news notifications on news websites [1]. That's not a feature I personally need, but 24 hour news channels exist so presumably someone feels they need regular news updates.

So no, it's not obvious to me everyone dislikes notification requests, even if I have them all blocked myself.

If you let curmudgeon developers like me dictate products' features sets based on intuition, there'd be no HTML e-mail, no third-party cookies, no WebGL, no emojis, no WebUSB.... :)

The difference is the ability of the government to pass arbitrary laws. There are (currently, in the West) two opposing views: natural law (laws are the refinement of what already is a natural part of human aspirations), and consensus law (law is what social consensus agrees upon). There’s also authoritarian law, but that is dictatorship.

Of these possibilities, only natural law can command respect. Society can be irrational and pass arbitrary laws for longer than you can stay sane, and dictatorship is, well, dictatorship.

The US constitution and the bill of rights are explicitly based on the idea of natural law.

> after I got well enough to move, regular movement helped wonders

Yeah, the "getting well enough to move" part is the crucial thing. Telling people with depression to just get off their asses and exercise will usually make things worse, not better. Even if you tell them they will feel better after. Even if they really believe that this is the case.

Exercise is great, but it's not the one magic thing that you can start with to treat depression. At least not for most people.

There are plenty of options for the law to fix this.

They could make it illegal or costly to make a false claim based on copyright. Content ID include the world "copyrighted content was found in your video", so just here we could make a first change to the law.

We could also make it illegal to disrupt someones income on advertisement through the means of copyright claim that negligent ignores fair use. You take a judge and have them look at those cases and allow the judge to fine obvious false claims. This create liability which trickle down.

You could create regulations that demand content provider to compensate lost income from false content id or they loose safe harbor protection. This would encourage YT to demand a deposit when a claim is made, and give this deposit to the accused if the claim is challenged.

All this without demanding that YT itself know if the claim is correct or not.
