The "consumer welfare standard" is a relatively recent thing, as the article points out, and there were antitrust actions (e.g. blocking of mergers) that were sustained without direct evidence of consumer prices going up as a result prior to that standard being enshrined.

And many people don't think it's a valid standard. So you might be correct in that this is currently legal - or, perhaps, unenforceable because there's no way to prove that it is illegal to the requisite standard of proof. But if so, then to me that would be yet another argument in favor of getting back to antitrust that we used to have before it got Borked [1], since what we have right now is very clearly not working.

> since that's easier than starting from scratch

That is not quite accurate, although it isn't far off. More accurately; the design mistakes that make/made X11 terrible were being enforced at the driver level.

Take the fact that for many years X was being run as root on linux. Horrific state of affairs for security. Everyone knows it is bad.

Some bright spark tries to write a new window system that runs as an unprivilaged user; and ran smack-bang into the fact that the drivers live in the window system because the Kernel doesn't accept closed source modules and the graphics vendors only support X.

That eventually got fixed with the Intel/AMD graphics graphics open sourcing 2008-2018; at the moment X is becoming a very thin comparability layer for most people and a mandatory pain for Nvidia users as far as I know.

There were a lot of issues like that, and still are with Nvidia. The point is that it isn't replacing X that is hard. The issues is coordinating with Nvidia is hard.
That's not the case. Range Rovers come in Range Rover base, Sport, Velar (not sure what this one is), and the Evoque. Land Rover also sells the Discovery and Discovery Sport which took the spot of the LR4.[1]

Here's the link the Land Rover's website. Click on Vehicles and you will see there is clearly a difference between Range Rover and Discovery. They are also coming out with a new Defender in 2020.

Edit: Wikipedia cleared up my confusion. The Discovery was called the LR3 and LR4 in North America for the past 15 years (starting 2004). I hate how companies do this, looking at you Toyota Hilux!

>Likely if you looked at your state/city/county budgets, they are spending more on road construction and maintenance than they are receiving in vehicle related taxes and fees.

I can't just look at the budget. That will tell me what they're telling the public they're spending on X. That will not tell me how much of the budget the people allocating the money expect to actually further X and how much they expect to get sapped by unnecessary overhead along the way. A non trivial amount of that is just monopoly money for the politically well connected. There are administrators and managers who are paid a salary to twiddle their thumbs because they know people. There are projects that exist for no reason other than to be a jobs program. You can't tell what's what from the outside. I have immediate family members in state government in MA so it's not like I'm talking out my ass. I get to hear complaints about this multiple times per week.

In RMDB(For example postgresql), Database is hierarchical nest collection types. It is also consistent with Clojure.

```clojure

{:table01 {:row01 {:col-array [0 1 2]

:col-json "{\"a\": \"Hello\"}"

:col-text "abc"}

:row02 {}}

:table02 {:row01 {}

:row02 {}}}

```

In addition, postgresql supports inheritance, which is also hierarchical nest collection types.
Make them livestream all their meetings. Then you could employ specialists to pick through the proceedings.

Sometimes I think that the arrangement of local governments makes more sense for the days of horses and telegrams than it does today.
It really does bring up though questions though, like when you look at the current administration and what they have done with the White House press office. Imagine if there existed a well-respected and trusted national news outfit that was suddenly being run by Sarah Huckabee Sanders. With the normal United States executive branch spoils system it would be a shitshow. It'd have to be like 4th branch of government or at least run separately like the Fed does.

FICO can be and is used to discriminate in job applications. You also seem to be missing the point that debt financing is a huge part of the ability to live a standard American life, much more so than in a country like China. For example, if you can't buy a car, there are many places in America where you simply won't be able to get around. This social-financial reliance system makes credit scores in America a lot closer to a social credit system than you seem to think.

If a score prevents you from using transportation (a needed car), living in decent housing, and getting a decent job, I'd say that score is pretty tightly tied to your social well-being.

I wonder if the flow can start from Workflow not from UserService.

E.g.,
1. Browser requests with UserSignup event (or API gateway receives it, do not call UserService but emits event)

2. Workflow receives the event, then calls UserService.signupUser activity

3. UserService creates a user then return the call back to Workflow

4. Workflow resolves the call(singupUser) then calls EmailService.sendEmail

5. EmailService.sendEmail sends an email then calls back to Workflow

6. Workflow resolves the call(sendEmail) then the flow is completed

The difference is that Every workflows will be defined inside Workflow and Services won't serve requests directly, which I believe this gives a complete view to the flow.

However there must be something that I'm missing here since what I'm describing seems like an anti pattern.

> but in almost all cases there remains a creator that the mass population is now "capable" of finding.

I don't think that is true with local news.

At our city council meetings, you see two news outlets:

* The local paper had a reporter who would sit through the whole damn thing.

* The local TV news, who would show up, get some clips of the meeting, a few sound bites with different people, and then pack up and leave in order to get the segment produced for the 10 o'clock news.

Now, the paper is going through bankruptcy and the person doing the city council beat has left.

I'm not sure anyone will sit through the whole meeting to cover it all.
Simple solution: make producers take back the waste as a condition for selling.

External cost now internalised.

In fact, new companies that are environmentally friendly (refills, product last years, etc) would be on a competitive level with former extremely cheap single use disposable companies.

Downside? Increased consumer costs and decreased shareholder value.

Once a government adopts this or plans to adopt this, expect to see massive and intense lobbying by packaging/consumable industry. In Australia, Coca Cola spent a lot to fight container deposit schemes which I think is a bandaid solution. The above solution could work with anything, not just plastics.

That's fair. The US has a history of special interest groups petitioning the government for regulations that would benefit them. I suppose this happens in the EU too but it's all over the place here.

I didn't grow up in one of the counties that are considered under the bounds of the Vidalia area (although pretty close) but we grew the same onions.

In a traditional CNN you use the same convolution kernel across an entire image. Here you do the same but you convolve the features of a person (pixel) with the feature of its neighbors, but those change depending on the network. Drawbacks are: I) you add one new person to the network, the whole thing has to be retrained; ii) convolutions are more complex and expensive

Assume that a hypothetical future government that you find yourself living under is not good.

Assume furthermore that a future hypothetical company is equally not good and the two collude to do not good things together.

Now assume you’re motivated to do something about it. Sucks for you, they have already predicted that and cleansed you because they know everything you’ve ever read and it was a high probability that you’d be against them.

Consider another situation where hypothetical evil overlords know exactly what buttons press in order to influence you to act a certain way. They press them regularly. You dance as expected.

Both circumstances undermine your personal autonomy and right to self determination. Furthermore they undermine the humanity that we share where our society is no longer controlled by the needs of humans, but instead arbitrary algorithms coded for whatever mundanely evil purpose.

And that’s the point (that you’ve more or less hit on), this is evil, but also so boring that it is actually a threat to society because no one will care enough to do anything.

If you can cope with it, it immediately shows up in the interview and you are considered a member of the club, a person worthy of having conversations with.

City council meetings can be lived-streamed, auto-transcribed, and their agenda can be posted. People will still of course offer their opinions on the subject on their social medias. We don't need newspapers to do this.

I've used it since its inception, however it has always kind of sucked.

I think it goes to it's basic philosophy: it did not enforce policy.

This let it survive a long time. It was whatever people wanted it to be. But because of this flexibility, it never became great.

It's like the old Lilly Tomlin skit - "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."
From the article:

> 5 percent profit margin on Amazon’s own retail sales

Last I checked, 5 percent margin is still making a profit, and definitely doesn't fit the definition of dumping nor predatory pricing.

Part of the theory hinges on this:

> However, Sussman asserts in his paper, “Amazon utilizes existing loopholes in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) disclosure regulations to exclude a significant portion of its expenses.”

> Amazon accomplishes this in part through using capital leases to purchase equipment and some of its 288 million square feet of office space. Instead of paying cash, Amazon borrows and finances these purchases over time. The leases don’t show up as expenses in Amazon’s free cash flow calculations, even though the equipment is listed as an asset. A 2017 Motley Fool report showed that, when you add in capital leases, Amazon’s 2017 cash flow was indeed over $1 billion in the red, although more recent numbers have bounced back.

Again though, there's nothing illegal about a firm using debt to finance expansion, nor is there anything illegal about a firm's net profit being negative, especially if there's positive cashflow from selling to consumers.

The whole article is nothing more than theories without any proof that Amazon is actually dumping products. And like I said, running thin margins isn't illegal. Undercutting your competition isn't illegal. Scaling out so your costs are less than your competition isn't illegal. You need to prove that a firm is actually dumping, it's not enough to think that they might be because they're out-competing you.

More from the article:

> As Sussman explains, if Amazon is recouping losses from a predatory pricing scheme by reducing its costs, the windfall profits aren’t being transferred to customers.

Reducing their costs to realize a profit literally is passing on the benefits to customers by continuing to sell at a low price.
I remember about 7-8 years ago seeing John Doerr give a talk somewhere and he literally started desperately fighting back tears because he thought humanity was imminently going to go extinct because of climate change.

I interviewed at Google in January, and they offered to let me use a computer if I had accessibility concerns with a whiteboard or really really wanted to, but discouraged it because they found it often made candidates too focused on the syntax of their code and less likely to have a meaningful high-level discussion with the interviewer.
Perhaps using the crying manager example was a bad idea on my part. What I can stand behind is having an org structure that encourages managers and execs to treat their employees well. It sounds like Google has done a better job than most. I'm sure there are managers and engineers crying in private in every big company out there. What I'm trying to say is even though a lot of people like to assume that people work for Google and stay there just for the money, Google probably does some things very well to keep all the talent despite the negative press it gets. And I think a major factor is how empowered a "regular" engineer feels in the company. It sounds like a step up from many other companies in that regard.
How does this work ? Do you store the code for the workflow in the database ?
There are two obvious possible solutions to this from the city:

(1) tiny print on the parking signs that says you consent to be chalked, creating an explicit contract

(2) sell the rights to manage the city's parking to a private entity using private contractors to chalk with no prescription on methodology, rendering the "search" non-governmental in nature
The mode of consumption, reading, is similar on the web and on the newspaper while radio and TV have different mode of consumption. As an example of precursor, radio news was pretty killed by TV news when it came out. When was the last time you listened to radio news sitting by the fireplace? People listen to radio news in cars while driving because they can't take their eyes off the road. Given a choice, people rather watch TV news than listen to radio news. Same thing will happen to newspapers vs internet news.
I think that loss leading leads to device or producer lock in (as it's intended to) and limited the utility of devices for frivolous reasons - if your nuclear reactor specifically requires rods with little notches at the end feel free to warn and protect against incompatible notches, but if that notch requirement was to lock the consumer into your Atomizer Brand Rods(R) then you may force a consumer into making fiscally unsound choices down the line, preventing a new competitor with a genuinely improved (possibly even safer) product from being able to compete fairly. Loss leading is just another barrier to entry that incumbent companies can establish to prevent free competition.
