> If convicted of mail fraud, the former Microsoft software engineer could face as much as 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

It doesn't mention returning what he took... So he steals over 10m and buys a 1.6m house and can only be fined up to $250k? With 20 years in prison, and let's say out in 10 years of good behavior wouldn't that raise his annual income (which is taxed) from $116,000 to north of $1m?
A article is very good!!!!
I find it useful: you'll find at least one problem deep down. The more surface problems will get worked on anyways. In any case, the point is to make your system more robust over time.
I'm not sure what to take from this. It would be surprising if animals' internal lives were simpler than we thought, right? So further study should generally suggest that it is more complex than previously known, but not as complex as human social behavior, which seems pretty obvious. Does this say anything else?
If there's no market, how can you buy or sell a home? Why should I not invest in my property?
It's like practical fusion, always 5-10 years away. The reasoning appears to be that since the Chinese refuse to follow the western consensus, their economy must then collapse.

It takes four hours because they are on different Islands that aren't near each other or connected well. You are insinuating that it is just a slow train.

There isn't much you can do other than spend tens of billions building a bridge or tunnel. Cars often get the ferry to make that journey.

A train has to travel in the opposite direction, across several islands and then back up. 4 hours is pretty good considering that. Even then there is so little demand for this journey it is infrequent.

That’s a ridiculous solution. Many of those products can’t go online by themselves, that $13,000 lens can’t and most the cameras talk to a phone only, not the internet, and that’s even if people use that feature. I don’t why Sony, Canon or others would even consider this when no other retailer has this issue.

Wow, are you joking, or has the new socialism worked its way into people's thinking so easily that you would state such a notion in so offhand a manner?

"Real estate should not be a market and an investment opportunity"? Are you kidding? Real estate, and its scarcity, has been the driver of competition, wealth, value creation, for oh, say, all of human history. There must be something to that, even if you think it's not ideal for how it works out for some people.

Just like that, you say you want to do away with it? Stunning.

> If you accidentally purchased a bag of M&Ms from Amazon for 500 dollars instead of 5, they will let you undo it.

It's just good PR for Amazon to undo it

Also, as pointed out by other commenters the asymmetry might also be related to the asymmetry in financial resources between the parties involved.

A lot of shops will not honour deals like this, maybe even Amazon in the past (I could well be remembering this wrongly and not be Amazon but other online retailers)
Masking the true price (cost) of something is what causes the market to be inefficient, resulting in excess or insufficient supply.

If anything, rents indicate true cost compared to mortgage costs which can accurately signal for more (or less) construction needed. In the US, ownership costs are masked by subsidizing interest rates, loan repayment periods, down payment amounts, and mortgage interest tax deductions. Also, property tax limits subsidize existing owners.

There is a bit of a conflict in the mechanics of democracy with zoning laws and taxes, with existing owners having an incentive to limit supply, especially in booming markets. It’s a very tough problem to solve, but making clear the costs of all the subsidies would help.

> If the pi is designed to throttle at a temperature where its lifespan is reduced from 50 to 49 years, then it is throttling at a gratuitously low temperature that affects quite a few use cases.

That's another claim that needs evidence. It seems possible to me that the thermal throttling is designed to prevent logic errors.

What cliches? You mean like the hypocritical and fundamentally dishonest nature of totalitarianism?

There is nothing to weigh. What the Chinese government is doing in Xinjiang is plainly wrong. Making excuses for it is silly.
Europe has a different free speech, the definitions and laws differ. Saying "Europe has no free speech" is only correct from a very US-centric PoV. In Europe, we have learned the danger that true free speech poses.
He should have slowed down maybe.

Perhaps someday your own beliefs will be considered extreme, and you'll have no platform to voice your opinion. Freedom of speech comes without preconditions, whether you agree with it or not is irrelevant. Stifling any speech is far more dangerous than allowing all of it.
You may call it a rhetorical question, someone else might see it as bad faith to ask about the government's rationale if you have no intention of actually listening to their reasons. You're not going to have any success convincing the average Chinese citizen that locking up Uyghurs is wrong if you're not going to engage with their concerns (the belief that if not for the government's actions they might be at risk of terror attacks).

I think the underlying question is, is it unethical to act morally towards immorally acting people? Not immoral actions in the past but continuing behavior? Especially once unethical actors count on you still acting morally towards them?

Amazon is maximizing profits at all cost, why should my actions towards them not be influenced by their behavior?

edit: It gets interesting once you take it one step further, is it ethical to act ethically towards unethical actors? Or more specific, are you obliged to steal Hitlers wallet?

One thing that I like more in the Python version is that it contains less names: .asSequence and .take are replaced by operators of much greater generality, while the ugly implicitly declared identifier it is replaced by explicitly deciding that sequence elements are u.

It should also be noted that Python would allow a more functional style, possibly leaving out the list comprehension.

That someone else would be wrong. Your misunderstanding is your fault, not mine. Take responsibility for yourself.
No. Amazon is not going to send you a legal notice to return this. Amazon wants to be the customer centric company and this act is to prove that they own the mistake and the customer is the king.

Source: Amazon employee.
> Morally the customer isn’t always right

The customer isn't always right regardless of metric. That saying is just a distilled version of "treat your customers right even when they're wrong and you will gain more than you lose". But it's a choice the shop makes, it's not a law. And many customers (try to) abuse it.

I’m not the op but if you take morality to be an emotional thing then it does work: people (and primates) have an intrinsic sense of fairness.

But that is sort of a relativist position, most people talk about morality like it’s some absolute truth.
It’s a little unrelated to opioids, but increasing medicine prices is currently undermining the public health systems of Scandinavia to the point where we have to debate where to prioritise our funding. Do we really want to spend millions of dollars on people who have 6 months to live if it means children have to wait two years for knee surgery. Terrible, and that’s with a national budget struggling after just a decade of out right immoral price hikes.

I’m typically not a “to the guillotine” guy, but I can’t wait for the EU regulations on big pharma.

Someone is responsible for that listing and the pricing it receives. The company operates collectively, but there is ultimately a human behind each sale. OP seems to be interested in the morality surrounding the treatment of the people involved, not the legal entity they’ve invented.

IMHO, the problem with Netflix is:
1. Too few shows that I actually want to watch: The office, Futurama etc are no longer on Netflix
2. The original content is very hit and miss, and mostly misses. By the time I find out about a series and start watching, they cancel it. They need to realize that it takes time for people to find out about series and at times it can take two to three years. You can do agile dev with content
3. Binging one or two series is fine, but there is very little "weekly programming".Sometimes, I just want to catch one episode of something a week
4. The movie catalog is abysmal, with the exception of the Monty Python stuff
5. The UI is just actively hostile. Let me set my defaults across all shows (no intro, thirty seconds between shows etc)

China seems to have found a workable system. It's not Marxist. It's not entirely capitalist. It's not democratic. But it has done pretty well.

Arguably, China has a more effective system of capital investment than the US does. The financial sector in the US is sort of a self perpetuating money machine, only vaguely connected to actually making stuff. (The biggest use of corporate debt is stock buybacks, for example.) That's not the case in China.

The US doesn't have an explicit industrial policy because the political system is too gridlocked to run one. China does. So does Japan, although less so than in the days of MITI. (The US does have an industrial policy, expressed through the tax code: services good, manufacturing bad. Borrowing good, dividends bad. Those are probably backwards.)

This "wunderkind coder and entrepreneur" is son of Bill Browder, wanted in Russia for tax fraud [0].

I realise that most HN readers (and the entire western mainstream media) are sympathetic to Browder senior, no doubt due to his personal war with Putin.

Indeed it's difficult to find any detailed criticism of Browder, however if you are interested, here are a few [1], [2].

The docco "The Magnitsky Act. Behind the Scenes" is especially interesting. During it's creation, the film-maker Andrey Nekrasov went from being anti-Putin and believing Browder, to being threatened with libel suits by Browder.

No, it was against a UK-issued MasterCard.

It was definitely processed through the MC network, and not via Direct Debit (the closest UK equivalent to pulling funds via ACH).

I know this because the vendor didnt have my bank account number, because Direct Debits are processed in batch (not instantly), and because the app associated with the account showed it as a card transaction.
It goes both ways, something too cheap will also get you no sympathy when it ends up being fake or a knockoff. On a moral standpoint I think it evens out.
More and more have realised that a $10/month subscription is actually the perfect thing to send to collections.

They sell it off to a collections company, often for $50 or more. That company adds fees, interest, and charges to the bill ($50 for each letter, etc), and finally takes you to court when the amount owed gets to $3000 or so.

The court can't chuck out those extra charges, since they can be seen as a legitimate consequential expense.
To the people who downvoted this, note that presenting the Chinese government's argument doesn't mean supporting it. That said, if you're completely unwilling to even hear your other side's argument, you'll never be able to engage in productive debate or convince them of anything. You're also unlikely to have an accurate view of any situation if you're only listening to one side of the story. The Chinese government can get away with concentration camps in Xinjiang because many citizens are fine with it, and you're never going to change those peoples' minds by just shouting "you're morally wrong" at them.
This isn't very readable at all and certainly not any more readable than a chain of method calls, being that you've spread the operations out in different places. It's not even syntactically obvious what the `key` argument is passed to if one doesn't know that `sorted` takes it. None of those problems exist when piping through normal functions or chaining method calls.

Python is for the most part overrated when it comes to these things, IMO. It's a nice enough language but it's aged badly and has an undeserved reputation for concision, readability and being "simple".

You can change this "Virtual Card" after each purchase so the card number changes.

This will catch these free trial out and other fraudulent activity caused by sharing card details with shady online businesses.

There is a difference in pricing structure. Junk and unhealthy food in the US is much cheaper and more available than basic ingredients which you could use to make wholesome meals. Also much easier to store.

We had a similar problem in Poland in 60s, people in some areas ate a lot of bleached flour (and potato flour) in various forms, inviting health disasters and obesity. But that was due to lack of availability of other things mostly.

Pricing structure influences availability for poor. The "feel good" addictive factor is a real kicker. Some foods should come in black coffin boxes with a warning label on top.

>Real estate, and its scarcity, has been the driver of competition, wealth, value creation, for oh, say, all of human history.

Much like excessively long copyright periods, real estate also allows for excessive economic rent that can destroy value creation. Incentives for individual real estate owners are divergent to those of society, hence we see problems getting mass transit online in many places and lack of sufficient housing in booming job markets.

Given the previous claim was that some number of people will treat the business model and monetization approach with hostility I think it still holds true with Disney. They have been much derided for retelling public domain stories, then claiming ownership/trademarks/copyright (event going so far as pushing for changes to copyright law) to give themselves exclusive rights to market. And a lot of criticism of their whole “Disney Vault” approach to selling old VHS and DVD titles where only certain titles from the back catalogue would be available for sale in a given year, so you better buy them up quickly or miss out for potentially another 7 years.
You pictures are sent to their servers for processing.

> Real estate, and its scarcity, has been the driver of competition, wealth, value creation, for oh, say, all of human history. There must be something to that, even if you think it's not ideal for how it works out for some people.

You know when humanity started evolving rapidly? When real estate stopped being the main driver for wealth. And you know how the system where the main source of wealth was real estate was named? Feudalism.

I'd much rather have socialism than feudalism...

I know that there's more options than these two, but we're seeing again a major increase in real estate value that's causing average people to not be able to buy their homes or not even be able to rent something decent. Over time it's starting to look a lot like that regime where a few people "rent" real estate to masses of people... and can (almost) control those masses through it.

Personally I'd make it so big groups of people get affordable rents or even affordable prices for homes, through various laws that incentivize private ownership and constant improving of property. The latter part is not even socialist, it's a Roman principle.

All species are evolving at the same time, so this question doesn't make sense as written. I assume you mean to ask which species will be the next to attain humanlike self-awareness.

I find it an interesting thought experiment. [Weasel words ahead!] I think our behavior (damaging the ecosystem, causing habitat loss and so forth) might be putting evolutionary pressure on other species in a way that could lead to an increase in intelligence and self-awareness. But I also fear that we're doing it too much, too quickly, and that extinction is easily as likely.
I don't think there's really that much morally decadent in taking advantage of the mistakes one of the richest companies and quite morally dubious companies on the planet.
