$3.84mil over 20 months + $150k donation to a local non-profit. Hard to see how this isn't an easy exit for Google.

Glad it isn't my city. Two years of eye sores and random road construction to patch up neighborhood streets sounds like a real pain, to say the least.
I use Amazon a lot but I won't buy expensive brand-name stuff there anymore. Case in point: I am going to buy a Starrett combination square and Amazon has a nice price with free shipping, but I'd bet there is a 50/50 chance I get a counterfeit.

I'd also put your chances of getting a fake $9 Casio watch on Amazon at 50/50.

As a software engineer I kinda sympathize with Amazon -- no matter what system you come up with, people are going to game it. It's a very complex moving target and you will never be able to eradicate all of the scammers. At the same time, I think they could do a lot better than they do today, and I wonder if they actually try.
> For example, you can search the books category for "marcus aurelius hays meditations" and find the paperback (black cover red bird silhouette) as the first real result, but the ebook format under that entry is NOT the Hays translation. I don't see any way to get to the Hays translation from that search.

This. I feel your pain here. Amazon should develop a simple UI to navigate through various editions/translations and also once one selects a specific edition/translation then the UI should only show all formats (Kindle, Paperback, etc.) for that particular edition/translation only.
Don't forget, though, that the U.S. and North Korea are officially still at war, since no peace treaty was ever signed. So pin a cyber attack against a U.S. entity on N.K. and there you are!
> I believe ag (the silver searcher) has also seen considerable performance improvements since 2016.

Do you know what they are? I haven't noticed them, although it has been a while since I've rigorously benchmarked it. From looking at the source code, I don't think much has changed. e.g., it appears to still be using memory maps on Linux when searching large directories.
You can also block just media if an instance is known to host images that are illegal in your country or your users don't want to see (silencing is a better option for the latter tho).
Around the same time I bought that core plane, I bought a bag of bits from someone in eastern Europe: a little ziplock bag with about 512 loose ferrite cores of this same size. Yep, that's 64 bytes in a baggie! It is pretty cool to see loose bits like that.

But if you think these bits are tiny, they got a lot smaller when they went to machine weaving. Maybe half or quarter this size.

Of course, "tiny" is relative, isn't it? At least you can see these bits, not like your newfangled semiconductor memory.
Science cannot answer all of our questions, but it can teach us how to ask better ones.
Extending human lifespan (perhaps using methods of hibernation, perhaps not) is easier technologically than basically any viable form of crewed interstellar travel.
The reason you're getting pushback on using the term front-running to describe this is that it is a blatant misuse of words for the purpose of painting a behavior as bad without needing to say why. You've taken a legal term that describes a crime and extended its definition to something that is not a crime to make that non-crime look bad. There might be some good ideas in there, but relying on this deceptive rhetorical technique implies otherwise. If you have something worthwhile to say, why the deception?
Is there any facet of human society that hasn't been subverted by the relentless pursuit of profit?

Other than heavy-handed regulation (like verifying each and every account as unique), some form of guaranteed minimum income may be the only way to buffer people from resorting to such deceptive tactics in order to get by in the world.
Mastodon and other fediverse software support pointing your old account to a new one. Keybase could be useful for confirming both are your accounts, but its hardly the only way.
Often, that's desirable. Most recurring weeds grow in cracks between joints in concrete. Use good judgement, duh.
I'm sure part of that was people wanting to promote women in STEM, but there also seems to be a lot of people tweaking headlines to find what gets the most attention. People love reddit karma, and news sites want to bring in the visitors.

Under competition, acting like this is the best way to raise to the top. If Amazon started penalizing fake reviews heavily, it would disincentivise its users to leave fake reviews. If they let companies get away with it, it'll be the only way to survive in their marketplace.
If I can ask, how do you feel about the program that bussed you across town, overall? Do you feel you benefited on net despite the exposure to the racism, or would you prefer to have stayed in your neighborhood school if you could do it all again?
I've been remote for about 5 years now. I work for an eat what you kill consultancy so the metric is easy. Keep my accounts growing and Sales is happy. Keep about 75% of my time billable and Delivery is happy. Quit working at 5 and my wife is happy. That's all there is to it.
What is Mozilla’s incentive to push for this? I get that tracking is a big deal these days, but other than to get some press how is Mozilla related to all of this?
Upon connecting you get only a blank window. All input seems to be ignored. I can verify via packet capture that the keystrokes are being sent from the client to the server with one key per packet. The server doesn't seem to send much of anything after the initial negotiation. If you wait a while (several minutes) it eventually sends the

arrows to move
keys to change letter
space to stamp

instructions. But even then the rest of the window is blank and input is still ignored.
Well if you're going to use that as an example, I've seen all of those but not bad treatment of women in STEM. To be fair, I have been fortunate enough to work in very high tech/financially rewarding environments, so perhaps it's less of an issue there.
Edit but can't edit: I realized I have a photo of how close I was to the speaker: https://www.flickr.com/photos/myself248/31682309057/

That's the FLIR (which, inexplicably, lacks a tripod mount) gently wedged between the leg and the ball-head, and then USB cabled down to my laptop (not in this photo) running Cheese because, again, the camera cannot natively record video...

Anyway, the rocket was 2 miles away, and competed pretty well with a speaker 5 feet away. But getting 15 feet from the speaker really improved the experience.

Wildlife gets another chance with the land being uninhabitable by humans for 300 years until Cs137 and Sr99 pass 10 lifetimes. A million years is a gross exageration. There are also people currently living in the Chernobyl exclusion zone. They even have a name: samosely.

You can't front run as a market maker, because a market maker literally cannot have clients. Thats like the first rule about market makers in most regulatory environments. Saying otherwise excludes you as a person who knows anything about the details here.

A parent company could operate both a market maker and agency/broker businesses side by side. Leaking information from the agency/broker to the market maker operation is illegal.

Perhaps you think I am nitpicking here, but the point is the bad guys in OPs example are the broker/agency which illegally sell/give away their clients information. Their illegal behavior is not predicated on the existence of the market maker. The market maker is simply an easy bogeyman for people who don't know what the hell theyre talking about.

If you are side loading yourself you should be allowed to accept that risk.

If your worried about someone else side-loading make it easy to restore the device to factory defaults.

Blocking side loading or rooting by the owner is not a security feature.

So then where is the line? The executive branch is charged with prosecuting all criminal behavior. What’s the minimum act you would consider illegal and/or inhumane enough to justify an illegal response?

I was on ebay, jet.com, walmart, staples, newegg, etc. Anywhere there was a third party marketplace system I was on there.

All of the non amazon marketplaces I sold on combined were a rounding error on my Amazon sales.

Well I suppose this comment is HN too from your perspective, but I also thought it was all HN until it happened to me. I was looking for Apple earphones, and found Apple earphones, and ordered them and it all looked great until they showed up, with a little cable tie in a clear plastic bag. And they worked, but when I then ordered Apple earphones off the Apple Apple branded Apple part of Amazon (which took a while to find and is covered in ads of knockoff Apple) I ordered them at the much higher price of $29.99. They arrived packaged in legit Apple trade dress, and I unfolded them from the cardboard packaging which I then used for the first Apple-but-not-Apple-Apple earphones. I first compared the two and sure enough they had minute differences and the Apple-Apple earphones sounded better...hard to say why but noticeably, and were louder at max volume, which is a difficult technical accomplishment. And the mic and buttons worked properly. Plus that packaging was as beautiful as Apple packaging has always been, I regarded it when it was empty as a paper insect that could be pinned to framed insectologist menagerie.

At any rate, I didn't lose much money and got more or less what I wanted, but...

Acting as a basic Joe Consumer I can tell fakes from reals with nothing but a browser, three minutes, and a simple checklist. Why can't Amazon which has a fucking battalion of mercenary machine learning cyborgs do the same a trillion times faster and cheaper and save me the (I can't believe I'm logging on to Amazon to check how much I wasted...) $12.70 I blew buying from "CR Land"?
A few years ago I worked with Wipro as they would contact me (technical support for some products) on behalf of their customers.

The incompetence was astounding, and I worked in support for a long time, and Wipro was really astounding. Everything from security to just understanding what we were telling them was mindbogglingly bad. It wasn't a language barrier, they simply didn't have many / sometimes anyone who understood the technology on the most basic level.

Wipro would open tickets dozens at a time claiming there was some sort of technical issue, but they often couldn't explain what if anything they tried. We would find the equipment at factory defaults, last boot time was when it was in the factory.... but now it was a P1 ticket because "it didn't work and it needs to be up and running by the end of the day". Then we'd ask what how they wanted it configured and they ... wouldn't know. Then they'd escalate through sales and the executives claiming we had been "working with them for weeks and were not helping".

Then they would go silent and not respond for days or weeks only to reappear later as angry as ever that we hadn't done anything when our last questions to them might be as simple as "what isn't working?".

It was worse when they actually tried configuring things as they were masters at nonsensical configurations, looping cables back into the same equipment they came from and etc. You could look at their systems that were "working" and it was errors everywhere and you couldn't trust anything you saw.

Even internally Wipro would tell us that they "can't tell" the "other team" (another team inside Wipro working with the same customer) that they need to change their configuration. They would just repeat that they can't tell them that ... and we'd be stuck because it's obvious the "other team" is configured wrong. I'd tell them to let me be the bad guy and tell them on a call, but nope. So things would just not work.

It was a common occurrence as things got worse that we would eventually end up on a conference call with Wipro and their end customer and their customer's perception was entirely off. There was no way it was miscommunication, they were straight lying to their customer all along. Often we'd have to break the news to the customer that we haven't been working on the issue for weeks, we just heard about it today, nobody can tell us how they want the product configured on the most basic level...

The only thing worse than that situation was to look up these customer's of Wipro and see they scrapped their own IT departments in favor of outsourcing, and I'm not sure they had more than a couple people who understood what was really going on.
If you want to simulate an Hydrogen atom (assuming that the proton is a single particle), it's not so difficult. There is a proton, an electron, and they have electromagnetic charge that is quite weak, so you only have to consider a few photons that travel between the proton and the electron. Also, the photon don't have charge, so one photon don't interact with other photons. (There are some small corrections here and there ...)

To simulate the inner part of a proton or a neutron, you have to consider the tree quarks. The quarks have color, that is unrelated to the usual color, it's just the name of the "charge" of the strong force. Instead of photons, they interact with gluons. But gluons have color, they are "charged", so you now must consider not only the quark-quark interactions, but also the gluon-quark interactions, and the gluon-gluon interactions. All these interactions use more gluons. And the strong force is strong, so there is a lot of energy floating around, that can create pair of virtual quarks and antiquarks. And now you have to add the interaction of the virtual quarks, that creates a soup of more gluons and more virtual quarks. And the strong force is strong, so all this soup of interaction has big affect, it's not a small correction to the easy model.

Some data:

* IIRC In a fast moving proton/neutron, half of the energy and momentum is carried by the quarks (real or virtual) and half by the gluons

* IIRC the three original quarks only are 10% of the mass of the proton/neutron.

I couldn't find a good link, but at least you can start with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong_interaction
It's not evil, not per se. Evil would be murdering people deliberately. This is incompetence, complacency, and apathy. It's negligence. But it's exactly what we should expect from an agency that knowingly ran an unsurvivable death trap of a launch vehicle for thirty years.

During the early stages of a shuttle launch, prior to SRB separation, the only abort mode available was RTLS--"return to launch site". Unlike Apollo, Soyuz, Dragon, or any other capsule-based spacecraft, which had a launch escape system that could immediately separate the crew capsule from the rest of the launch vehicle and place it in a safe vector to parachute back to the surface, the Shuttle was expected to pitch end-over-end, with the external fuel tank still attached, in an attempt to return to a runway near the launch pad. John Young, the pilot of the first Space Shuttle mission, declined the suggestion to perform a manned test of the RTLS abort mode, stating, "let's not practice Russian roulette." He also noted, "RTLS requires continuous miracles interspersed with acts of God to be successful".

It's not as though a LES would have necessarily saved Challenger, mind you. The explosion was too fast. But if the craft were mounted vertically with the booster stage rather than tandem, and if the abort mode didn't require having a fully intact orbiter and external fuel tank that could perform aerobatic maneuvers at the edge of possibility, there would have at least been a chance. Likewise, such a vertical-stacked design would have completely eliminated the risk of anything like the Columbia disaster.

This isn't to minimize the real, compounding negligence in how the program was executed over the years. But the program was damned to begin with.
Why would DEXes (Decentralized Exchanges) allow priority ordering by paying higher fees? Wouldn't they be aware that enables front-running?
The store is an absolute mess, even with major brands. The exact same pair of Nikes could be listed in a half dozen separate categories sold by two dozen different sellers at shipping speeds ranging from two hours to two months and prices ranging from $0.06 - $649.58.

You end up having to spend 10x the amount of time down the rabbit hole of different categories, vaguely different product titles, different sizes ("size 10", "size TEN" "10(m)", etc.), and different names for the same color shoe, all to desperately find that low price/size/color combination that drew you in from the search results in the first place.

The store desperately needs moderation to tidy it up. I'm sure the devs are patting themselves on the back for all the extra engagement they are milking out of me, but frankly I'm using the site less and less to the point where I've cancelled my prime membership. The only thing keeping me is milking their free shipping and 3% back card, and only if local alternatives fail me.
This is one of the most problematic. I think 3 out of 5 products I usually search for turns up massive levels of white-label crap. I suspect these are Alibaba based sellers who rebrand their white label fake products in Amazon literally 20 to 50 times under different cool sounding brand names. They have different costs and slightly different descriptions but otherwise no real way to differentiate them. These listings completely takes over search results and pushes out any genuine brands not savvy with SEO way out on 3rd or 4th page creating denial attack on customers. Now I have made habit of not falling for these white label crap and explicitly look out for "made in XYZ" in description. I think lot of US based genuine brands have gone bankrupt because of these.

Amazon needs complete reboot of their search given this level of white label spam and their inability to effectively de-dup results.

Meitu Closes Down Smartphone Business – Xiaomi Takes the Wheel
I think Apple is pretty late at this point. Xiaomi and Oppo have figured out the distribution, localization, and a sizeable user base already there, and a decent smart phone now costs $150-200. They are quite good phones and from what I understand, price is the biggest driver for sales.

India has a really high import tax on electronic items. Even if Apple charges a slight premium over its US prices, it's still going to be significantly cheaper than what it currently is.

For example: a 64 GB iPhone X is currently selling for around 1100 dollars.
I said "Apple could help avoid some these problems". Keyword is some. You can still be anti-competitive despite being technically open.

Look at what happened with Microsoft and IE. You could still at least install an other browser, but that did not stop the authorities.

It's even worse IOS because you can't side load and you can't even install a competing browser engine. You also can't publish one via the app store.
I believe it would reduce the import duty on the devices manufactured in India.
