Loads of business around the world no longer maintain their own websites. The only place you will find their contact information is on their Facebook pages. Sometimes those businesses have added their contact info to Google Maps, or enthusiasts have added it to OpenStreetMap, but so often you have no way of communicating with an establishment without at least visiting its Facebook page.

The same can be said of many bands now. Facebook is how they get the world out about new releases and concert dates. Other sources can lag behind by weeks.
Yes, absolutely. Many times. I've done a bunch of projects that were tied to immovable event dates. The only way to deal with it is having very flexible scope. Typically, these have been more "creative" projects and not tied to a lot of critical functionality so we just make sure we keep our MVP quite small and treat everything else as iterative enhancements so we can cut off whenever we're out of time and still have something presentable.
So, being poor is a binary decision between spending too much, or some extreme autonomous-body conclusion?

Basically, satellites took over They are cheaper to operate and less vulnerable to defensive countermeasures and other failure conditions. From a Los Angeles Times article from '89 [0]:

Welch identified the increased survivability of reconnaissance satellites, SR-71 vulnerability to the Soviet SAM-5 surface-to-air missile and the cost of maintaining the SR-71 fleet."

Part of the problem is the difficulty in building new reactors, which means old and outdated reactor designs remain in operation which cannot utilize or recycle nuclear material because our nuclear knowledge at the time was lacking. If your reactor was built in the 70s or 80s, it was probably designed in the 60s which means 60s era nuclear technology, only 20 years after we first discovered nuclear power in the first place.

Its like driving around Model-Ts and then lamenting about how inefficient and unsafe they are. And then using that as evidence on why we shouldn't build modern cars.

It sounds like there was cheating here- there's an acceptable failure rate- such as a chunk of wood, maybe a brick, etc., but to me it sounds a lot more like this somehow-unnamed Canadian company sent them something like 10% recyclable stuff and 90% trash instead of the 90% recyclables and 10% trash they (some entity in Malaysia) was expecting. It also seems like this either happened more than once, or happened once with an entire Panamax-class ship's haul.

By the time I came around (graduated a couple of years ago), professors would start syllabus week with a disclaimer about that kind of groveling for points.

Every company I've founded or worked for has struggled with flaky tests.

Twitter had a comprehensive browser and system test suite that took about an hour to run (and they had a large CI worker cluster). Flaky tests could and did scuttle deploys. It was a never-ending struggle to keep CI green, but most engineers saw de-flaking (not just deleting the test) as a critical task.

PhotoStructure has an 8-job GitLab CI pipeline that runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Keeping the ~3,000 (and growing) tests passing reliably has proven to be a non-trivial task, and researching why a given task is flaky on one OS versus another has almost invariably led to discovery and hardening of edge and corner conditions.

It seems that TFA only touched on set ordering, incomplete db resets and time issues. There are many other spectres to fight as soon as you deal with multi-process systems on multiple OSes, including file system case sensitivity, incomplete file system resets, fork behavior and child process management, and network and stream management.

There are several aspects I added to stabilize CI, including robust shutdown and child process management systems. I can't say I would have prioritized those things if I didn't have tests, but now that I have it, I'm glad they're there.
Better to think through these scenarios ahead of time so that you already have a plan if you find yourself in this situation, as others have. Tree landings can be survivable especially if you let the trees bend and absorb your energy.

Theres a significant number of Greens that are against nuclear. And rather than infight about that, I'd rather work on what we all do agree on first.

Once we've decarbonised the grid then we can have the discussion about nuclear.

>You seem to be implying there's some kind of cheating happening in what is ultimately a business deal.

In the article, it was revealed that the contracts were for recyclable materials not worthless toxic garbage, and Malaysia was actually being scammed. (That's why their president made such a big deal about it).
There's no "trick" about it. That's literally the way business has always worked since the first private companies were established.
From my reading, it's not removing them from the marketplace. Instead these are suppliers Amazon.com (not the market place) would buy in bulk directly from. They will now need to transition to the marketplace. There is a plus, which is they can probably ask a higher margin... but it also means they're now personally competing with anyone else who may have the same product, and now they're probably going to pay Amazon to warehouse their product.
I don't think that's its not hosting anything...

No, it has not taken off exponentially yet in the way the Tony Seba video demonstrates with a picture of 5th Ave in NYC in the year 1900 where there are lots of horses used for transportation, and only one car, compared with a picture of the same street in 1913, where the street is full of cars, and there is only one horse to be found.
It seems that at some dosage of glyphosate, the gut microbiome would be altered in a way that would make it more hospitable to pathogenic bacteria and less hospitable to beneficial bacteria. The real question is what is the shape of this dose curve. How much glyphosate is needed to shift the relative proportion of beneficial to harmful bacteria 1%, or 5%?

Probably much more than found in Impossible burgers, but it would be nice to have more research on glyphosate's effects on the human gut. Does chronic ingestion of glyphosate from unwashed raw produce have any statistically significant effect on the human gut?

"The presented results evidence
that the highly pathogenic bacteria as Salmonella Entritidis,
Salmonella Gallinarum, Salmonella Typhimurium,
Clostridium perfringens and Clostridium botulinum are
highly resistant to glyphosate. However, most of beneficial
bacteria as Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium,
Bacillus badius, Bifidobacterium adolescentis and Lactobacillus spp. were found to be moderate to highly susceptible."

>is honestly anyone surprised?

I'm surprised. I thought that when the entire store was run by computers the marginal cost of adding another supplier would be zilch, and the long tail would prosper.
Many business don't have a choice. A lot of the time, the choice is "sell on Amazon" or "don't sell". That's what monopsony is, and it's why Amazon needs to be broken up.
To bypass the pay/nag wall: https://outline.com/9mHK5d

Important to note that this "purge" is only for wholesale suppliers, not for marketplace sellers like the title implies. Amazon is basically only going to purchase products for resale from large suppliers, and will shove the rest into the normal marketplace operations where they have to compete with everyone else on actually selling and shipping their products direct to consumers. Also of note is that this won't do anything to address the criticisms of rampant counterfeit and/or garbage quality products on the marketplace.

>> "the environmental impact of meat production is so enormous desastrous"

Reference, please.

In case you haven't seen what industrial plants agriculture looks like nowadays:

https://www.ecowatch.com/europes-dirty-little-secret-morocca...

The anti-meat propaganda is getting obnoxious. The most sustainable agriculture is one in which the soil is fertilised with manure and rotated livestock, because grazing animals keep the soil healthy and meat keeps us healthy, because we are omnivores.

We might need to discourage CAFOs by cutting the corn subsidies and by raising their environmental taxes, which will raise the price of meat, but we also need to use less pesticides and artificial fertilisers, because we are heavily polluting the soil, the water supply and killing the bees, which should drive up the cost of fruits and vegetables too.

And from ecological, to health and ethical considerations, most pro-vegan arguments (not all) are bullshit. The next time you're happy about not killing animals and being eco-friendly, see this:

There is also the consideration that this whole process is being studied and modeled on a moving platform.

The environments that we assumed to be in place when we look back and describe these 'ancestral' states are rapidly changing. The timing and duration of rain events, winter snow levels (elevation, depth, duration), high heat events, Santa Ana winds; all of these things are quite rapidly changing their patterns of predictability.

Forests are dynamical systems with non-linearity in many of the ways they interact with and respond to the environment. How forests have responded to climate change, to anthropogenic interactions, hunting and extinction of large herbivores (and predators), create feedbacks that further impact how forests (or really, vegetation at large), respond to the environment.

I think my point here is that there is questionable utility in trying to run the clock in reverse. Its more important to understand where we're at and how things respond now than it is to contrast them with some ancestral state that is impossible to return to.

There's no un-baking the cake. The 'climate' (read: entire earth biosphere), has changed/ is changing.

Unfortunately Amazon won't have a real reason to do that :(
Haha you're right! Well it's stuck now—past my edit window!
Many small-time businesses are pretty much FBA only. That's why there's so many similar products with little more than branding differences: this is done in China and shipped to Amazon. There's probably not a small percentage of 4-hour-workweek types who are very unlikely to go from working from home to staffing a warehouse and performing fulfillment, running an e-commerce store and trying to figure out discoverability.

I think it depends on what is being put in these exams, like if you are being given rote memory trivia or asked to write out a little essay with arguments supported by historical examples for those topics, that would be a tougher exam that asked you to think about history. For a calc final I took, it was 7 pages, 7 problems, 3 hours, and you were only graded on your best 6. Each of those six problems tested very intimate knowledge on specific topics in calc, but if you weren't so strong in one area you could focus on where you can shine, or if something was a walk for you it gave you more time for the tricky problems.
> Amazon’s aim is to cut costs and focus wholesale purchasing on major brands like Procter & Gamble, Sony and Lego, the people said. That will ensure the company has adequate supplies of must-have merchandise and help it compete with the likes of Walmart, Target and Best Buy.

That would cut out most of my purchases from Amazon. It makes no sense to buy stuff from Amazon that I can get from my local big-box retailer, after all.
It doesn't load for me, anyone else having the same issue? :(
This is a big move, it transitions Amazon from a more traditional retailer, to something more akin to a dropshipper. I'm reminded of Wayfairs Castlegate business. The manufacturer now takes on the responsibility of forecasting, they assume the risk of holding inventory, but Amazon still controls the customer impact things like boxing and shipping.... and they get to do it at the manufacturers cost.

It's quite brilliant actually.

No, it's not surprising. The lack of surprise that a company's greed is boundless shouldn't be the standard to which we hold them accountable for their behavior. It's kinda hard to see how Amazon won't eventually collide with antitrust forces at some point.

The rise of tech giants like Amazon has largely coincided with their development of entire markets that they control. There's so much money to be made establishing the market and taking small transaction fees as opposed to just bringing a product to an existing market.

Not only did Amazon make money by creating the go-to online marketplace, they captured tremendous amounts of data on what people were and weren't buying. This allowed them to spin off cheaper versions of competing products, undercutting the businesses that they were already making money from. They dominate the sales channels, and now they're going after the vendors directly, starting with the small, low-hanging fruit.
