Tell HN: Amazon Reviews Phishing
So it seems you could show one product and show ratings and reviews for a completely different product underneath it.

I've been noticing a lot of these on Amazon now-a-days and I'm not sure what's the loophole and how they manage to achieve it.

Look at this product -

https://www.amazon.com/Headphones-Breathing-Earphones-Cancelling-Bluetooth/dp/B07QBNG3N5/

The product is a wireless earbud. And if you scroll down, you can clearly see the reviews are for a Sony headphone case. Completely different.

Or this - https://www.amazon.com/littlejian-Headphones-Earphones-Microphone-Compatible/dp/B07SRP7F1X/

It's an headphone, but the ratings and reviews are for a Facial steamer!

There are several examples. I got fooled nearly when the reviews are for a headphone, and the product is also a headphone, except they are completely different products.. I'm not even sure what to categorize this as.

I tried searching for this but couldn't find any references to this. If you have faced this / know if this has been covered already, please share the relevant links.
Yep. Although, as I pointed out, IMEI randomization doesn't do anything if your payment and use authorization isn't also anonymous.

> we have never figured out a multicast routing solution that would work at Internet scale

Sure we did, it's called bittorrent. Ok, it isn't really multicast and you probably have to sacrifice ordered delivery, but for many of the use-cases where multiple-delivery would have been a good idea, bittorrent has proven to be a very successful "minimum viable multicast".

Bittorrent succeeded while decades of "multicast" research/experiments failed because bittorrent realized the multi-delivery problem was really about managing peers, which isn't solvable at layer-3.

edit: by which I mean: previous attempts at multicasting assumed it was a packet routing problem, when peer management is actually a question for the application layer.
Eating carbohydrates spikes your blood sugar and therefore insulin response, which has several problems: one, it makes you hungry again very quickly, and makes your energy levels spike and dip more than if you avoid them. Enough simple carbohydrates cause diabetes.

It is also very easy to eat a large number of calories via carbohydrate. Essentially, carbs make you fat.

I can personally observe in myself that if I eat a chocolate bar in the morning, I will be more hungry in an hour or two than if I had eaten nothing at all.
This was true back then, when Bird and most other companies were using m365 and esx scooters. The newer generation of scooters is way more durable, and have better battery life. The reality now with scooters like the Bird Zero is that churn is at least 10 months, which is more than enough to pay the vehicle and operational cost 7.5x

And the first computer ads were showing a dystopian world where the rich can converse on expensive computers about how poor everyone else is who doesn’t have one and can have unlimited access to information while the poor live in isolation.

New things tend to be expensive—it’s pretty rare for any new technology or standard of living to become universally available from day one. This is true of tvs, radios, computers, fridges, air conditioners. I can’t see why helicopters are any more dystopian when they become more available.

Scheduling is a subset of productivity, and, IME, not an exception to the rule about productivity software and Excel.
Some of the discussion in this thread has brought to light some interesting things.

1) Where is the line for what is socially acceptable to do in public?

2) If a line exists, why does it exist where it does?

3) Should there be a standard that society must follow, so we don’t end up with drug litter, litter, and human waste on the streets and around us all of the time?

Some commenters have brought up that maybe there should not be a standard that we strive to achieve with regards to public behavior and cleanliness. I am concerned that slowly we are becoming so individualistic(in the since of other people can do whatever they want), and liberal with standards of behavior, that the worst kinds of behavior will eventually be permitted because that is “their right” to act that way.

I am curious if other people feel that we are not very far from being a society that keeps saying “everything is permissible, because anyone has the right to do as they please.” Or I might be extremely alone in this regard.

It's a great story.

It's also seen entirely from the perspective of children, none of whom fully understand what's going on. There's an acceptable backstory to everything -- yes, even the ending -- but the show itself doesn't explain anything. That's all in secondary materials, little of which was translated.

(Well, it's based on a novel series. Does that count as 'secondary'?)

If you assume a rational universe, you can probably figure out most of it. Or if you're interested, poke me sometime and we can chat about it. It is, admittedly, one of my very favorite stories.
The problem with this is that we lack two fundamental guarantees:

- Will reparations, whether monetary or through some kind of program, actually improve the state of the community in a sustainable fashion? When the money runs out / the program ends / etc. will the improvement stay? Or, will it be a continual welfare program that can never be safely removed without massive negative impact once everyone is used to the benefits it provides?

- Will reparations actually solve the societal divide, end the continual accusations of White Privilege and systemic racism, etc. or will those narratives continue unabated, having been rewarded by success in the form of the reparation program itself?

The ideal is to work remotely for a boss that already knows you. If not that, then I would focus very strongly on the adage that you need to make your boss look good. If you can do that, then your boss will sing your praises. I (unknowingly) had a boss that wasn't doing that at my last position, and it was probably the main thing that caused things to go poorly.

Sorry for being mildly off-topic but the other comment with regards to police being complete morons and causing violence on purpose is pretty much my take on the situation. Definitely justifies my incredulity at the idea. Even the idea of getting weed in a legal state through the mail is strange to me. Let alone this.

That said, good luck convincing a great portion of Americans that the US isn't the end-all be-all authority on the internet and that's where all the packets go like a big funnel. Like we never went beyond campuses, token rings and pre-OSI model hackery. The logic is: We engineered the prototype, therefore internet always murika #1.

They will. In fact, they will most likely operate under Bird's Platform product, which basically mean they will be more or less independent except they will use Bird's backend, firmware, client, etc.

Words are for sharing human expression. Your interpretation of a something being a rule, is rigged when it's not possible for a person to follow it by choice. I think it's best to talk about how people don't have free will and let people understand the injustice to humanity for progress to eventually come.

Yes, but like many other kinds of jackassery trolling can go really bad. Look at the qanon conspiracy; there have been several suicides already and there's a lot of people emotionally involved to an unhealthy degree. The things that make conspiracies engaging are very similar to those of cults, and what starts out as an ironic joke can devolve. Scientology is an example of something that started as an ironic grift and is now regarded as a rather skeevy cult. The extreme case is something like Jonestown or Aum Shinrikyo.
My first Mac (512K) and Imagewriter cost north of $5,000. I still remember paying for it with cash from anything I could sell, a cheque with the money I'd saved for months, and the rest was on my newly acquired VISA card.

When I think about that investment as a ratio to my disposable income at the time, I was crazy! But, as a retired IT Exec, things did work out in-the-end.
Stephen Wolfram on Deepfakes
I don't dislike people using the statistical tools available to them, but in my own field (social sciences) there's a huge replication crisis going on right now. And a lot of that is due to people who were never good at math taking easy-to-use statistical tools like Excel and SPSS and blindly running stats without programming or math training.

Is it too much to ask that people treat a field with a bit of respect? Like, just because NYT reporters can use some of these "data skills", can they hold off a bit until we figure out if they're even any good at statistical analysis after their crash course? We currently have an entire academic field that has to throw away a lot of their findings because tools like sheets and SPSS gave them false confidence. I don't have any higher hopes for the NYT newsroom.
freaking victory if you ask me, San Francisco has been completely backward on this scooter permit. There's never any scooters around, they are not available passed a certain hour in the evening, and above all they require you to have a US driver license. They are doing everything to incentivize people to learn how to drive and own a car...

I've never felt corruption before moving to San Francisco. There's money everywhere you walk, but there's the largest concentration of homeless people in the street (and they're not just homeless, they are junkies as well). Rent is completely absurd, and that's because no buildings can be built anywhere (if you look at the population of San Francisco 10 years ago, it hasn't moved). Public Transport is absolute shit, which makes it a hassle for a lot of people to live here because they need to commute every day to suburbs.
That's minimal time tracking, not scheduling. It's the difference between retrospective and prospective.
1) If WSL is a proper product they'll be supporting it no matter what.

2) Filesystem performance is even slower with WSL 2. I'm sure this will improve, but they could have expended that energy on WSL 1, where it would have been categorically easier and more efficient. On the other hand, a virtio filesystem device was recently finalized so if they wanted to go the VM route they really didn't have to do anything but wait another couple months, at most.

3) They're maintaining a fork of the Linux kernel, which is significant work by itself. The syscall surface of Linux is quite small relative to the whole kernel. Most syscalls can be trivially implemented (and were, in WSL!) as thin wrappers around native NT capabilities. Many of the rest are comparatively easy to reimplement, especially once you have a fixed target to emulate. In terms of pace of development, they don't really need to do any better than RHEL, where enterprises are happy with Linux kernels and features years behind the tip of Linus' branch. And, frankly, if WSL 1 saw wide uptake it could have actually competed with mainline Linux in terms of the features and behaviors people depended on. If, for example, Microsoft refused to implement something like JIT'd BPF, it may have blunted and even stopped BPF momentum.

WSL 1 was interesting and potentially a game changer. WSL 2 is destined to disappear because there's very little value Microsoft can add which would require them to invest in WSL 2. The existing VM ecosystem, including their own generic VM framework, is more than adequate and will continue to only get better, regardless of WSL. All the problems are solved or are currently being solved by platform-independent, Linux-independent virtio specifications. Microsoft just needs to implement them in their hypervisor framework and they'll work with Linux, OpenBSD, and other OSs.

I think it's clear as day what happened: WSL 1 was a threat to the Windows API so it got axed. It was too radical even for Satya Nadella's Microsoft.
Not really set, but even assuming you can make it work this is already way beyond checksumming the lack of which people complain about for some reason.
If you're curious, here's Gorhill's reaction immediately after Chrome announced they were planning to support dynamic rules. None of the updates seem to have changed his position that this would cripple Ublock Origin.

https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/338#iss...

> I don't know exactly what other features may be needed

I know this sounds like a dismissive, catch-22 answer, but the big thing missing is being able to run arbitrary code to decide whether or not a request should be blocked. And that is something the Chrome team has been pretty clear that they are not going to compromise on.

Right now, people are compiling lists of different filter capabilities they want, but (at best) that is only going to close the gap some of the way to what ad blockers are currently doing. Ultimately this puts Chrome in the position where every time a developer comes up with an interesting strategy for blocking ads or filtering/redirecting web traffic, they'll need to go to Google and ask them for permission to do it.

The fundamental functionality block is the thing Google wants to block -- arbitrary, developer-defined logic.

This is not nearly as complicated of a situation as Google is making it out to be. Google is arguing that developers should not have the ability to arbitrarily block requests, and developers (particularly ad block developers) are arguing that they should. Gorhill's position is that matching algorithms are fundamentally not powerful enough to support a healthy ad blocking ecosystem.

Easy to say, impossible to act on.

While we're in a speculative mood, just what kind of planes do you think are needed to be a superpower nowadays? Seems to me that a plausible answer is drones, lots of drones, and missiles, with a EW / networking / stealth focused plane to forward-position a human to coordinate them. The F-35 seems to fit that role like a glove.

ICBMs are another potential answer but I have a hard time being angry at war toys that provide intermediate options between "peace" and "destroy the world."
At least three astronomic cycles affect climate on Earth: the varying eccentricity of Earth's orbit around the Sun, the varying obliquity of the Earth's axis of rotation, and the precession of the equinoxes. The sum of these waveforms are known as the Milankovitch cycles, which is a theory about the correlation of glacial/interglacial periods with those astronomic cycles. I'm not sure what the effect of these cycles would have been before the current ice age, but in this ice age it really does seem like glacial and interglacial periods correlate with the Milankovitch cycles. Specifically, interglacials correlate with maximum insolation during the summer in the Northern hemisphere, specifically around the 65th parallel, while glacial periods coincide with minimum insolation in the summer of the Northern hemisphere -- not every maximum/minimum leads to a state transition, of course.
Most 'meat' in 2040 will not come from dead animals, says report
This is the Soylent hypothesis. "Processed food" as such is not the problem—it's processed food used as a delivery vehicle for as many addictive sugars, fats, and simple carbs as possible. I would guess that the bad kind of processed food is much more common because it's both easier to make and more profitable (flour is cheap; oil is cheap; protein is expensive).

The same hypothesis (that we can reclaim the idea of processed food for nutritionally complete foods) is also on display in a product like Vite Ramen which explicitly patterns itself after a nutritionally dubious staple food (i.e., instant ramen). I would expect to see more startups in this space in the next few years.

What I am looking for is something in the same ballpark as dynamic graph generation as seen here, but with shareable tagging: https://www.mcnutt.in/forum-explorer/

When you say their spatial orientations and groupings carried meaning for me I wholly agree; What I'm trying to say (poorly uwu) is that managing the finder or other WIMP desktop elements is like laying out a beautiful graph in Visio or some other flowcharting software, vs the sort of dynamic graphs that the computer can render for you on the fly.

Taking the example above and imagining it extended to disks and documents as opposed to topics and comments, suppose you could have nesting nodes, whose size might be a treemap-like function of their content and whose layout might be manged with Apollonian gaskets; and imagine further that I could click on the name of individual contributors (isomorphic to file properties or curated tags) and quickly see a cross-section of their contexts - not the text of the individual comments, but the immediate neighborhood of the graphs in which they appear; and imagine further that as I applied selection criteria of various kinds to refine my graphs, their unique combination would itself form a metagraph which I could save at any time, like the key to a particular collection.

That last sounds a bit handwavey, but I'm imagining a fairly small graph that would map about the same amount of information as a regex string or polynomial expression. You wouldn't read the content of these graphs (unless you really wanted to) any more than you measure the ridges and notches of your most commonly used physical keys. They'll just become shapes you recognize and name to unlock your favorite perspectives, fulfilling much the same function as the extension buttons on your browser toolbar.

League pass does not apply to nationally broadcast games or games in your local market. I live in LA and root for the Celtics, and watch all the home broadcasts with their arena feed. If I lived in Boston it’s not an option and I have to have a cable subscription.

That being said, I listen to the finals on the local radio broadcasts via the NBA app because those are never blacked out.
