> Entitlements sit on top of that. They are usually broken out between logistics, damage, marketing support, liability, referral, platform, etc.

"Entitlements" are just a component of overall margins. Breaking them out separately doesn't win you anything because the store brand still needs to pay its pro rata share of the cost to cover those things.

> Amazon.com calls it a “referral fee” for marketplace sellers. No physical store there. These is strictly a fee you pay to access their customers.

Yet notice that their fees are typically something like 13% rather than 30%, and they're still dealing in physical goods and then have to contend with the sellers who send an empty box rather than a product etc.

I mean, I think everything you just laid out is effectively encapsulated by the fact that "neptunian desert" is in quotes, encouraging the reader to click through to see the exact scope/scale of said desert.

Or at least, that's what went through my mind when I opened the article. I made an assumption that there was either/both:

1. a lack of exoplanets identified at around the size of Neptune, or

2. a lack of planets in the rough orbital region around a given star analogous to the region occupied by Neptune in orbit around the Sun.

and in order to clarify which of the two it was, I clicked on.

---

tl;dr: still clickbait, but I wouldn't call it confusing and I would call it an effective summary for those in the field.

edit: sctb evidently edited the title from the original to the neptunian desert title, which makes my comment seem largely out of place as I believed OP was commenting on the 'neptunian desert' title and had not seen the original title which was the subject of OP's comment.

My comment can be disregarded, but I'm leaving it up for historical purposes.
I'd rather see a global tax on carbon. Suddenly Bitcoins mined with coal are no longer profitable.

I had used Amazon Rekognition in our dating product extensively for moderation till Aug 2018, it was in-accurate for people with darker skin often with wrong gender and age identification.

I had contacted them regarding these issues and was told that they are working with new models. I haven't tested it recently to see if the situation had improved.

I didn't use the Face Recognition API for privacy reasons, I assume that would be the most used API by law-enforcement; but if it is anything like my experience then I would be very worried for some innocent to be wrongly tagged by the system.
Reading the documentation and looking at examples, I think you are being a bit harsh. This project looks to me like an interesting, intuitive and useful abstraction layer for organizing a project's DB queries.
On #3, I bet the man pages do exist, just not for openssl itself, but for each of the modules like genrsa, rsa, s_client, x509, etc.
The price you sell things for is more about what people can pay than what they cost to produce. If jet propulsion majors easily get huge loans, and English majors only get tiny ones, then the university will easily find a way to charge them different fees.

Also, the poetry class is certainly taught by an adjunct.

The answer is that the colleges in other countries offer significantly less to the students.

Advice, Mining with an Old Laptop
I have couple-year-old, Lenovo laptop that is just sitting around. I doubt it will do much in the way of mining but just out of pure curiosity I'd like to see how far I can push it. Anyone ever mined with an old PC & have advice they'd like to share? CPU vs. GPU, Token suggestions, fire hazard warnings?
Could you elaborate on why business apps are different from other apps? Is one an easier problem than the other? Are they fundamentally different?
Right, conversations are usually triggered by back and forth reactions. Is the act of speaking propaganda? It could be, but usually it's to convey a thought you already hold.
Changing the tagline to "Predictive Weight Tracker" might have an interesting (positive) effect, for a variety of reasons. It seems likely Apple has downrated the phrase "weight loss" altogether.

It's odd that the app marketing doesn't explain how it's useful once you reach a target, and doesn't offer any hint that it can be used to set weight gain targets for people who are looking to reach a new weight class. If I reach my weight loss target, does the app become useless?
Pardon my cynicism here, but: panopticon proponents seem to have all the power. There's little you can do to protest it. There's no anti-panopticon party to vote for, and organizing any kind of counter-action will just get you labeled a terrorist if at any point you become effective, I'd guess.

This is a VERY biased source.

Also, there is a difference between how efficiently those services provide, and how well those services actually match consumer needs. The government can likely build cars more efficiently than anyone else, but would do a very bad job at determining what should be in a car or determining who those cars go to.

In most countries where UBI is even remotely a realistic possibility politically, public transit is just fine and how most people get to work. Indeed, for a single mother a personal car may well cost far more than the actual utility it provides. The USA is an odd one out in this respect.
Why deactivate at all? Why not let drivers and riders set a threshold for each side of the transaction?

Lol. I know what you mean. Congrats on all the attention you're getting however. BTW I went to your original post and gave you a point. ;-)
I was on crutches with a broken ankle a few years ago and definitely took more Ubers during that period (including shorter rides). This could definitely be part of it.
Do you recall when you learned that the trim switches could be used to override MCAS (so long as you did not toggle the trim cutouts, if flying a Max?) I don't believe the switch issue was raised in the FAR.

While we certainly hope that pilots will be able to extemporize a solution to a situation, even if that involves going beyond or against the documented procedure, and while it is certainly possible that there was a course of action that could have saved ET302 (though the success of the Lion Air pilots does not necessarily prove that, as there were differences), I do not accept the implication that if such a course of action existed, there is nothing to be concerned about. Reliance on pilots' problem-solving skills should be a last resort, not a planned-for solution, and those skills certainly are not helped by withholding information about aircraft systems.
Yes! Once I've exit-scammed, I need to start my next exchange ASAP. If this toolkit could spin up a new exchange with a randomly-generated theme, that would be great, thanks!
Supply and demand isn’t related to “cost”, only the price the market will bare.
If you buy a set of wheels dedicated to winter tires, then you can swap between summer and winter in thirty minutes at home.

Otherwise, you need to put your dirty tires in the back seat, drive to a shop, pay $100 and wait for an hour or two to get them swapped and balanced.

No. If the system had been different, the candidates would have adopted a different strategy and you can't predict the outcome. The current system doesn't incentivize republicans from California to go vote like it doesn't for democrats from Alabama.
Netflix only recently removed in-app subscriptions; before that they were paying X% to Apple for every subscriber who paid via iTunes. And still are for anyone who is still paying that way. Although surely it was a sweetheart deal always below 30%, and potentially below the 15%.

I agree they are orthogonal. Part of the purpose of a UBI (and it needs to be U -- Universal -- not as a welfare replacement) is to correct for inefficiencies or inequities in structure -- you don't live close to a transit stop so you may spend some money getting to/from.

The other purpose is for signalling within the commercial system (tortilla chips are more / less popular that potato chips) which is crucial for the functioning of an economy.

As a welfare replacement it's terrible because it suffers from diseconomies of scale.
Index funds are passive by design. In your scenario, allowing 10% ownership to exert control seems like it’s functioning as it should. The alternative is that control is held by the advisor that the index fund listens to.

> Do you think that if you were born in a region where Christianity is non-existent, you'd somehow come to it on your own?

If I were earnestly searching for religious truth, I think God would lead me to it eventually, yes. It might take many years.

More likely, though, I would live and die without discovering Christianity because I'm too busy just trying to survive, (like if I were born in poverty in some remote location in China).
There is also the possibility that asking people to do small things for you will increase their positive view of you. I remember reading about psychologist having uncovered such an effect but I forget the name of it.

If I had to bet, I would say both factors (and others we aren't considered) are at play.

Since you asked, my personal opinion is "I don't care."
I LOVED those books in high school! After rereading them a year or so ago, they are pretty indebted to Heinlein and Starship Troopers, but still entertaining. He also goes into preachy libertarian sometimes. This was the guy who wrote the "Trouble with Tribbles" Star Trek episode, which explored some of the same ideas.

Also, be prepared that the series was never completed (IIRC he had a son with autism that took time away from writing).
It sounds like you've never been stranded late at night waiting hours for a cab that was "5 minutes away." I don't participate in the bar scene anymore. I don't benefit from the increased user experience of knowing exactly where your cab is, and if they cancel. Legal or not, I sure am glad those jackasses got their comeuppance.
> your implication is then that storefronts should not make a profit.

No it isn't. It's that they should operate in a competitive environment so that the profits are the ones produced by a free market without unreasonable barriers to entry rather than being monopoly rents.

Shareholder primacy is in an interesting place.

With the rise of index funds also comes the rise of the idea of a 'universal owner' solving the tragedy of the commons.[0] If you own a piece of every company, like Vanguard or BlackRock, your funds benefit when the whole economy does well. Your incentive is to advance society, not to promote any one company at the expense of the others. In that way, you internalize externalities -- like climate change. Or in this case, getting industry-wide action on privacy/security.

That said, this idea hasn't sunk in with fund managers yet. They're beginning to talk about caring about 'social purpose'[1] but still voting against it[2].

So the retail investors will have to demonstrate they care in order for anything to change, and they don't even get a vote through mutual funds.

I built this website to organize verified retail investors around petitions, in order to do that. You can support petitions like this https://www.yourstake.org/ask/vanguard-demand-companies-disc... or this https://www.yourstake.org/ask/amazoncom-inc-facial-recogniti...

No, they aren’t and no they don’t. Again you really don’t know what you’re talking about. Save yourself the embarrassment and delete your comments.

The Apple fee also drops to 15% after a year. It’s 30% for the first year because of the amount of fraud and chargebacks. Same is true for other high-risk categories everywhere else, like jewelry and gift cards.
Right, and train them up on Elixir. I learned the basics and become productive in a month or so (OTP takes longer, but worth it).
Sure. If you create an Ethereum-compatible token that represents the crypto derivative you have in mind, then you can indeed use this to launch an exchange for that token.

If they use their momentary advantage to push out other legitimate options for transit, then there is a good argument for regulation protecting riders.

Maybe Uber shouldn't be making any decisions about users. Just present the rating to the driver pool and let drivers decide who they pick up and who they do not. It doesn't entirely solve the issue of "what is a justifiable reason for rating a rider (or driver) poorly?" but it makes it less catastrophic for users.
Are you aware of any anecdotes of people saying their rating fell when they didn't flirt back or got on crutches or something? (Your point is still valid even if you don't, I'm just interested)
You miss my point. Ad networks and ad tech companies aren't aiding and abetting fraud. For them it is a cost center. Advertisers are the ones aiding and abetting fraud.
What's wrong with this government? The policy in these cases amounts to this: 'We will kill illegal immigrants'.
I just don't think the cliff Uber will use for cutting off riders is going to be "got 3* a few times for taking too long to get in and out of a car." Drivers aren't quitting Uber because of those riders. They're going to be cutting off people routinely rated 1* for being dangerously intoxicated, ranting about minorities, making passes at drivers, etc.
I think i can pinpoint the source of OP's frustration, though. From a younger person's perspective, is Trump not an 80yo moron who's had life handed to him on a silver platter? Why would he have any motivation to try to fix long term problems which require dedication to an ideal, lots of hard work and sacrifice, and a big dose of humble? Oh, future generations and a humane disposition? Nah, he'll take the money, thanks.

>Trump’s only true skill is the con; his only fundamental belief is that the United States is the birthright of straight, white, Christian men, and his only real, authentic pleasure is in cruelty. It is that cruelty, and the delight it brings them, that binds his most ardent supporters to him, in shared scorn for those they hate and fear: immigrants, black voters, feminists, and treasonous white men who empathize with any of those who would steal their birthright. The president’s ability to execute that cruelty through word and deed makes them euphoric. It makes them feel good, it makes them feel proud, it makes them feel happy, it makes them feel united. And as long as he makes them feel that way, they will let him get away with anything, no matter what it costs them.

Nuclear energy is one of the most green sources of energy out there and probably the only feasible link between today's dominant fossil fuel and the decades that separate us from fully green and efficient implementations of wind/solar/geothermal/etc. sources.

It's really a shame that panic and stupidity prevail and the irony runs high when apparently a high percentage of the people "who care most" about the environment don't really accept this as (the possible only) asnwer.
No, return to old style living won't save us, because the planet can't sustain our current population levels with old-style living. Unless you want to trigger civil unrest and kill many people, the solution has to be technological. Renewable energy and improved energy efficiency can do it, it just needs a few trillion dollars of investment.

That's definitely a big issue.

But I think a bigger issue is that we're going to spend 4-8 years making little progress actually fixing climate change. Any changes we do have greater impact the earlier we do them. It was a smoldering fire in a wastepaper basket 30 years ago. Now one bedroom is on fire. We're going to spend another 2-6 years doing nothing while the fire continues to spread. Hopefully we'll still be able to put it out once we get an adult into office.

I think that's the biggest issue.
I have an economics degree myself but I've worked alongside excellent software engineers at midsize companies that were dropouts or didn't even start college at all. I've found little correlation in ability between a college degree and their ability to do their job. Hell, my cousin is 2 years into his CS degree and had no experience using git or worked on a group project till I drilled the importance of these soft skills into him.

The analogy sounds good, up until the product has stickers telling you to purchase this item from Amazon. That's disingenuous. The stickers in this analogy would tell customers that they can go to the product's own web site to register for a subscription. That's what Apple doesn't allow.
If we discover how to read historic climate data from carbon atoms, like we do with radioactive decay, do you see all the money we spent so far as a waste?
In many ways user friendliness corresponds directly with real life security level. Lots of compromises aren't due to a deficiency in the code, but someone using it incorrectly. Maybe by assuming the defaults are sane, or not understanding the implications of some of the technical jargon in the manual.

Remember Sony, a 60 billion dollar company, completely fubared the DRM on the Playstation 2 because a developer didn't understand what an IV is. And you go through the OpenSSL docs and it will tell you where to supply your IV without ever explaining what it is. All it needs is a single paragraph explaining the best practices, probably 5 or 10 lines in the manual.

You keep conflating Apple's store with Apple's hardware. All of Apple's policies would be fine if they allowed any store on their hardware, because then other stores could have other policies.

But since Apple doesn't allow other stores, it's not the same as regular retail, because the consumer can't choose another store with better policies.
That's the definition of exoplanet :)
It makes a huge difference in support for web standards. There are many nice things that Firefox supports which Webkit does not. It also means that we have to lobby Apple to support standards, since we're not allowed to compete on merit (at least for engine-dependant features).
I think it started before the Chernobyl series. There have been a lot of increasingly serious climate change reports over the past year, and when you start looking into what can be done, you have to take another neutral look at nuclear power. And when you look at it neutrally in the face of the alternatives you quickly get converted.
