Huh, it's crazy that they do this at all.

How do they check this kind of thing? Do they ask the buyer to display the Amazon page on their smartphone if it's just a small discount? Or do they always check on their own devices? (Amazon reportedly sometimes displays different prices for different accounts.)

In my experience, if you need a retail clerk to do something for you and the first person turns you down, you can often just go to a different clerk (if possible in a different shop) and try your luck again. (I've done this 1) to get my phone company to change my phone number despite not quite fulfilling the requirements 2) to get an MP3 file of a store's theme song.)

Now I believe trying to fake an Amazon page in order to get a price-matching discount is most likely fraud, but it still seems like some people who aren't fraudsters in general (e.g. teenagers) would be trying this kind of thing.
To me is the first time i hear about it.
I agree that unless the point of the question was more of a power move to show he's not an idiot and that they shouldn't try jerking him around, the question doesn't seem particularly useful.

The action of creating Libra could be interpreted as an attempt to undermine US federal currency. Facebook is the first company with enough clout to actually succeed at widespread cryptocurrency adoption to attempt something like this. I think there are bigger issues to deal with than quibbling about languages and release cycles. I know that the congressman's unspoken question is really whether Facebook has considered the security ramifications of allowing foreign nation-states to meddle directly with our system of currency like they were able to meddle with our news media, etc. But we all know that great programs can be written in terrible languages and terrible programs can be written in great languages. If the congressman is thinking what I think he's thinking, I wish he'd come out and say it instead of beating around the bush.
Grats on the lucky score!

> A lot of people saying the orders are going to be cancelled -- seeing as I currently have both body and lens in possession, I find that unlikely.

Gotta agree that it's unlikely for these orders to be cancelled. Seems like Amazon.com's got a lot of cash (without checking, but I assume?), so they can probably afford it. Instead, the smart move would seem to be to play this up hard -- perhaps, for example, pushing a few stories in advance of the next Prime Day about this mistake, driving more sales as folks hope to enjoy a similar lucky break.

I mean, overall, seems like a nice feel-good story.
I also cannot honestly think of a case where I want that behaviour.

The "pow" example looks more like a case where the C side should be fixed.
What about the debt loads of their three Main competitors? Disney, Comcast, AT&T? Their debts are insane. Of course they all are much more diverse companies, but their debts are also many multiples higher than Netflix. It’ll be some time before Netflix debt reaches Disney’s. At that point, the point could be much stronger. But at that point the status of Disney’s streaming service figures and Netflix’s figures would matter just as much.
Good pointer but...let’s try that. My guess is they stay online. Here’s a couple minutes of searching. All the same company. Google can’t even see the dupe content obvious to us:

https://midrandplumber24-7.co.za/?wpamp
https://plumberdurbannorth.co.za/

Think a different bunch but look at the keyword stuffing:
http://www.plumbersgauteng.co.za/gauteng-plumbers-areas/plum...

Google aren’t even making ad money on this. It’s just crap content and really bad old-style spam. If they just required a business location it might help.

Are we in the 90’s?!
You'd think they'd add a fail-safe into their systems just in case for these circumstances.

eg.

* If SalePrice < (0.25 x CostPrice) - Delay Order

* If (CostPrice - SalesPrice) > $500 - Delay Order
If you disagree with this view that is not a reason to down vote. If you think the point I am making is irrelevant or insulting or a bunch of other reasons which are not addressing the topic at hand, then that is a reason to down vote.

I think the congressman doesn’t quite understand that Rust nightly is far more stable than nightly anything else. It’s really more of a beta than a nightly sort of build assuming projects using it exercise even a small amount of restraint in which nightly features they use.
House of Cards had to be emergency-landed due to the whole Kevin Spacey thing though, so it's not a good anecdote here.
US have very few proper dense cities, like NYC or Chicago, where you can actually walk for grocery shopping. (I live in Brooklyn, NY, do all my grocery shopping by walking, and don't own a car because I don't need it.)

Sprawl and cars are mutually reinforcing. In a sprawl (even it's formally a city), where walking is impractical, and public transportation is expensive to run, all grocery customers drive, so a store attracts customers from miles around, and has to be huge.
> This is useful, but two totally different functions with the same name distinguished only by the presence, not even the value of an unused argument.

The sentinel argument is not unused.

> Where else does anything like this exist in the language?

In the narrow sense of “in the language” (builtins only), it's unique. There may be other examples in stdlib. That aside, functions that do a descriptively similar thing (i.e.,“build an iterator”) but where the details of how they do it differ significantly by aritt aren't weird among programming languages generally; don't see why it would be particularly problematic.
The critical advantage of h3 vs. s2 is that all neighbors are equidistant from the central cell. Also, the implementation of the projection means there is less distortion than s2.

I use this library every day and absolutely love it.
I like seeing posts like this showing that there is still interest in operating with mainframes and bare-metal servers these days.

My biggest fear is that you are in the minority of developers that can single-handedly operate one in the age of buzzword-ridden lingo such as AWS, GCP, Heroku, etc which forces a dogma to run rampant in our industry to host all of your startup/company only on other peoples's servers rather than to setup up your own in-house bare-metal servers instead.

So I am very impressed to see this, as an added bonus it is a mainframe. Please post more of this.
Amazon has made this mistake in past too and it seems they are unable to solve it.

I think Amazon might start asking manufacturers to add remote bricking ability, so that when mistakes like this happens, Amazon remotely bricks the device before even customer gets to open it and then Amazon sends them an email, "it seems the device we sent you at unbelievably low price was broken before even reaching your door, if you return it you would receive a $20 gift card" )
That was my experience as well. When I moved from Auckland to Seattle, I found isolated pockets of better espresso, but I had to work to find the gems that were better than the average in NZ.

you say that like it's a bad thing.

trying to game user engagement/user retention numbers are what get you things like notification requests when you visit random websites (I'm looking at you, website for arbitrary midwest nbc affiliate).

I posit that the "stickiness" factor of website is a bad measure of how "good" its design is.
I don’t completely get the tweet. Maybe I haven’t been updated to whatever that is. But for now i much prefer the convenience of Dropbox over doing it on my own like you’ve done. It’s not even close for me. Just my personal opinion.
It would be nice of you to post this as an answer on the original question.
H3 and S2 are kinda similar, except by using hexagons, H3 grid centroids are equidistant - rectangles have different distances from center to center.

H3 also has efficient means for finding a cell’s neighbors, and comes with some nice algorithms - like the “compact” fill. See https://uber.github.io/h3/#/documentation/overview/use-cases

The hierarchical search data is built into a grid’s ID in both H3 and S2, which helps when comparing ID’s to see how close they are to each other.

For visualization, I prefer the way H3 looks over S2. While that’s just an opinion, H3 grid is exposed directly to drivers and in lots of tools.

I work for Uber and have used H3, but don’t work on the library.
To be clear, I don't pirate and haven't except for niche stuff that I can't get my hands on otherwise.

If money was tight and I didn't have other hobbies I might consider it. But at the moment selling me 3-4 streaming services for $80 a month when I can just watch youtube instead, or pick up a good 4 year old game for $10 is a tough sell to me.
My thought exactly, especially since they didn't cancel it.
And even if I were willing to pay for that, why should I trust them to be able to find all the hidden cameras?
Nice to see they are still working with Progressive Web Apps.

I'm really interested in seeing if PWAs can reach first class citizen status everywhere. Still a bit skeptical as installation from web is still wonky in Chrome. Google was pushing PWAs pretty hard for a while on the developer side....browser felt like an afterthought... that worries me.

I would rephrase that as "what kind of person do you want to be?"
I wish you weren't downvoted, this is exactly right.

The nice thing about S2 is that is subdivides cleanly: A square can be composed of smaller squares while hexagons can't be. This property makes S2 much more broadly useful for a bigger range of applications.

In H3, each hierarchical level of hexagon doesn't fit cleanly in the one below. For Uber's uses, this is acceptable because hexagons have more uniform adjacency but the "zoom in and out" math is pretty gnarly.

But even S2 had the funkyness of first mapping a sphere to a cube. They're both fairly interesting to read up on.
Is anyone surprised with this given outcome this administration's trade war?

On one hand maybe this combined with the tax changes will result in housing price stabilization.

However given how much of the economy is tied to FIRE, it could have significant external impacts.

I'm talking about OS. iPhone apps are extremely limited. For example you can't alter your network stack with iPhone app, AFAIK. Apple has so much control that you can't even install their own OS without their explicit permission, so you can't rollback to a previous version.

It's not just about blocking transactions, with ShopSafe you can set a dollar limit per merchant, you can also do monthly recurring transactions of a particular amount, and stop them when you want, by closing the number.

So you can actually pay for a while, then block them.

You can set custom expiration dates, which is nice if you have a future transaction, but want to make sure they don't bill after that.

Even better each merchant gets a different CC number, so you have a much lower chance of your number being stolen.

I'll typically make a 1 year card with a high limit for each online merchant. If it's a one off, I'll make a 1 month card with a dollar limit of exactly the transaction amount.
Well, there are six intercity trains per direction each hour to Amsterdam Central, four to Amsterdam South (will be upped to six in a few years), and up to four commuting services. So you could even say there’s a train every 4.3 minutes.
Excel is everywhere where I work. it frustrates me to see how it's used and how much it's used, and it's totally unfair. I could rant about how it's unmaintainble, error-prone, time consuming, and cause costly mistakes, but I wonder if the company would be as large as it was without Excel.

I dislike a lot about Excel, but it's so easy to be immediately productive with it.

if the license explicitly forbids it you better not do it as I noted above. but if the license does not explicitly forbid then I think you have an argument that putting your website code on github is pretty common practice.
It says in the opening paragraph "tighter currency controls by the Chinese government". As with most financial articles there is no discussion of the relative magnitude of the effects at play. Financial journalists are perfectly happy to ignore the elephants in the room and report a laundry list of tiny effects that might have had an impact and then devote 1 line to whatever causes 80% of the change observed.

Fleeing implies they have a choice and are choosing to leave because of poor prospects in US housing. That might be true. But the choice might be involuntary or be due to sharply rising prospects in China or elsewhere. If China those capital controls are significant, maybe a better title is "Chinese purchasers dragged away from US housing kicking, screaming and cursing their own government". That is a possible interpretation based on what is included in the article.
> Their network is encapsulated to all hell since it's ipv6-only so I recommend decreasing MTU's when connecting to it (something like 1320 seems to work or sites like duckduckgo get blackholed).

I will also point out that a lower WAN MTU will cause forwarded (and only forwarded) outgoing connections to fail if the phone's firewall rules aren't properly configured to adjust TCP MSS! Pings will work, sites will connect, but you'll get no data back. This can seem awfully like some kind of active interference, when it's just a passive network problem.

Ah, yes this makes a lot of sense. The video in the link actually does have a nice comparison at 17:30, where this is called out. It seems to me to be the most compelling argument for hexagons.
That's not a tethering problem though, all ISPs have a no resale clause to prevent this. Unlimited (within the ToS) should be unlimited.

Does ethical analysis only rely on who made the mistake and not who suffers the consequence?

As I understand every corporation, passes on the cost the customer and aims for some specific number as a margin, if their costs increase either they increase productivity of their worker, or implement cost cutting measures, or pass the cost down to customers.

Lots of people think, Amazon's loss results in Bezoz getting a haircut on his paycheck.

What if Amazon starts asking for more productivity from its warehouse workers then buying something at Amazon's loss is directly tied to how they treat their workers.
I don't think it is safe to use a wrist rest. You'd be applying pressure there. Keep your wrists generally straight, with a little variation.

I'm using an old Microsoft keyboard. The new ones are not good, particularly the Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000, because the keys aren't in straight rows. Mine has that split in the middle, but is otherwise a perfectly standard qwerty layout. I get a bit more comfort without having to relearn how to type and thus become incompatible with normal keyboards.

The older the Microsoft keyboard, the better it is. The original was very much a premium keyboard, with big aluminum plates inside it for rigidity. The slightly later ones with multimedia key are OK, at least if you get the traditional arrow keys. (what I have) On the more recent keyboards, the keys are all different sizes and misaligned.
Exactly. I could not have explained it better than you.
It makes sense. Xi has a lot more to lose than he has to gain by cracking down on Hong Kong.

for what it's worth, it made the title feel more deliberately chosen.

i'd generally expect titles to be close to the original title of the post. and the first version of the title just doesn't feel like a title that anyone would put onto a post, let alone an issue report in a tracker. with 'requests' added it feels more real and interesting.

Principal Component Analysis is really difficult to do on a live economy because no one is omniscient and policies/events enter and go in a less than ideal simultaneity.
Probably most of the people who like writing language interpreters understood that Python 3 fixed a lot of mistakes, so it would be funner to work on.

Though I'm surprised nobody really wrote a transitional fork (six gets you a lot of the way but "Python 2.8 which has _just_ the str/bytes change" would have been useful).

Ultimately Python 2 isn't a better language, it's just the language everyone's code was in...
It does, although arguably Hong Hong is hardly as big of the China pie as it once was. One day perhaps they decide it time to bring them into the fold.

Arguably the law was a step towards it.
This is unlikely, but wouldn't it be conceivable that a malicious hardware "RNG" that lives in the CPU and has access to the internal state of the OS RNG (and knows common OS algorithms) could always supply the worst possible value to counteract whatever is in the pool?
I've also started watching Youtube more. Totally agree re fragmentation. I'm not interested in dealing with their greed and stupidity. Same with sports. Different deals for different regions etc. I like watching sports but I'll just not watch it if it's not easily available. Usually it's only on in the background anyways as I do something else like my accounts etc.
I'm curious if anyone else has implemented an event-driven architecture like this, and what their experiences were.

My initial reaction is that I would worry about the impact of events getting dropped on the overall state of the system.
When dealing with a retail establishment (as opposed to a private sale), they should have controls in place to correct such mistakes before the sale is finalized. The key point here is that the error passed through enough people/systems acting as representatives of the seller that I can consider the organization as a whole to approve of the sale.

If a cashier accidentally gives me a $10 instead of a $1, that’s unethical to keep. But in this situation, the error started at the advertising stage and persisted through totaling the order, processing payment, and fulfilling for delivery several hours later, all steps at which, in a traditional business, someone could have flagged the error. At this point, it’s their intentional lack of safeguards rather than unintentional mistake that’s at fault and I have no moral qualms about that.
I lost some pennies in my couch one time and I didn't go looking for them or even really regret their loss. This would be analogous to this situation, if Amazon had lost 100s of thousands of dollars.

The reason I like Netflix less and less is their atrocious browsing interface:

No customizability. I want "continue watching" always at the top and have an easy way to remove shows from there. I never want to see "Watch it again" anywhere. I don't want any movies on the Index. And I want a clear sign which shows are dubbed. (Well, and I'd like Japanese shows to have English subs, but that's not a UI problem)

Over the years their interface got worse and worse that it's now at a point I need to use third party sites. So as they make discovery as hard as possible for me, I might as well cancel it whenever there isn't a release I want to watch.
i didn't recognize the name so it would not have made a difference for me, but having this posted on HN hinted that this is significant, and not some random little used projects.

+1 on this. wanted very much to like amplify but after using it for a few small projects, decided it was not worth the trouble. it abstracted too much and was too opinioated for what i wanted to do.

the one use case i do like it for is hosting simple static sites (eg. jekyll based sites).

that being said, i do like the amplify javascript sdk, especially the auth library and react components: https://aws-amplify.github.io/docs/js/api

best part is that you can use the components without using the amplify service/console
