No, but it needs to have been previously owned by the brand owner.

You can't buy directly from the factory without the brand's permission. That's counterfeiting.

From your link: "this same doctrine enables reselling of trademarked products after the trademark holder put the products on the market."

In other words, it must have been owned by the trademark holder at one point, and sold by them into the market.
All I want is a discussion.
Is it actually valuable information?

It will take a while to work through everything, but what do you think the odds are that there are w bunch of docs here that are missing context and therefore are misleading?

Especially given PV's BS surrounding google in just the past few weeks.
> I don't like it because it suggests that freedom and security are somehow at odds with each other, which is already an authoritarian framing of the situation, and really just nonsense.

Agreed. I think part of the issue stems from how people define freedom, seemingly thinking that freedom means "no rules".

For example: If having rules is intrinsically against freedom, then why would anyone who desires freedom play sports, where rules define the game. If you eliminate the rules, you eliminate the game and your freedom to actually be able to play it.
That's not correct. As a libertarian i support unions (as long as they re not coercive of course). Collective bargaining is a fair and square free market mechanism. Instead it's Corporate lobbying of the government and regulatory capture that is unfair.
It's from the days when Perl was Python's main rival (the late 90s / early 00s). Perl has complex syntax and the"there's more than one way to do it" motto.
Syntactically, and especially in early Python, there were fewer ways of doing things than in Perl and Python people saw that as a positive.
Great question! The Starbucks Strategy is actually well known in the industry. Believe or not, large real estate developers and investors will often follow the same signals. They also look for things like Trader Joe's or Whole Foods opening.

Our algorithm is very similar in concept to this strategy. However, by the time Starbucks or Trader Joe's opens in an area, it's often towards the middle or late stages of a neighborhood's growth. We can find amenities that are even earlier indicators than Starbucks. Think your one-off local coffee shop named "Bob's coffee" or something similar.

We are focused on the appreciation potential of residential real estate, which has single family houses, condos, and town homes. However, we have noticed that in areas where home prices are growing, rents typically are growing as well. So our customers are welcome to rent out the properties for cash-flow.

We do not have data on a lot of commercial properties, but we can still underwrite the agreement on duplexes and smaller multifamily units.

It typically takes 3-5 years on average for neighborhoods to see the exponential portion of their growth curve, so our agreement is for 3 years by default.

Our share of the profit is 20% of the gross profit. So, if you had bought something for 100,000 and you sold it for 200,000 in 3 years. Then, we would get 20% of the gross profit ($100,000), which would be $20,000.

Whenever i'm walking into a german bookstore nowadays, and see the Spiegel Bestseller display, anything in it is discarded as trash until further notice. Wasn't always that way for me, but since at least 20 years now.
> So this will be worse that 2008.

2008 was bad because the collective banks of the US realized trillions in mortgages were money on the books that wasn't real and was never going to be real. The correction involved resetting said books and taking a few banks and a trillion dollars of US taxpayer money along the way.

What is the correction this time? All it would really be is a run on confidence in global financial markets. This has happened many, many times (and did happen in 2008 but it was a response to the insolvency of banks). It happened in 2000, it happened in 1993, it happened in 1980, etc.

If its just a correction in overvalued stocks, futures, and a contraction in loans and interest rates thats just a normal recession. We're due to have one, they happen all the time, and since there shouldn't be an influx of millions of displaced / homeless suddenly because this isn't the result of mass foreclosures on defaulting home loans it shouldn't be as disruptive this time. A lot of theoretical stock value gets wiped out, some people lose a lot of money, and then you get to start the cycle over again with rates back under 1% and the DOW down a a few thousand points from its current cresting highs.

I think this addresses two problems:

1. Allowing brand owners to completely remove 3rd party sellers and sell directly on Amazon without much effort

2. Helping new sellers to sell at least something; these days one has to immediately subscribe to some realtime algorithmic repricer if they want to get buybox for/sell a single item; this makes algorithmic repricer a part of SBA

Companies have stopped distributing patches as "delta files", where you only download the data that's changed. Now they just check checksums on the file and any file that doesn't match is re-downloaded in full.

I regularly saw patches of 5-15 GB on Battlefield V despite the updates including no additional content of note. Just small tweaks that triggered full redownloads of asset files. It also makes update performance absolutely fucking abysmal - I would regularly see the game take 30-45 minutes just to decide what files it needed to download, despite the entire game being loaded onto a 280GB Optane SSD, one of the highest IOPS SSDs yet manufactured. And then wait another 2 hours while it downloaded off their server at under 500 kb/s... on a connection that could easily do 20x that.

I never thought I'd say it, but I actually miss the days of Bittorrent based downloaders where it would checksum blocks rather than files and then you'd download them at high speed from peers.
It's flagged because it's Project Veritas. They are not a reliable or trustworthy source.

So this is a joke too? Or the bit of not being interested in people’s cognitive limitations?

People thought they were opening a business on amazon selling retail. Then amazon started selling the profitable products themselves, storing the products themselves, ... basically doing more and more of the work and taking more control and taking money from the people who helped them become powerful.

Isn't this a pattern with big tech companies and their walled gardens? "App devs thought they were starting a business on the bigco app store, selling direct to users. Then bigco started making their in-built versions of the popular apps themselves... basically doing more and more of the work and taking more control and taking money from the people who helped them become powerful."
I'd be interested to see a source for either of these claims. I've always wondered what the revenue was like for varying amounts of views.

It is pretty obvious that things like search results are manipulated to fit an agenda. Search Google Images for "white american family" and "black american family" and compare the results. You can replace "black american family" with indian or any other group and the results are similar.

There are many interracial couples under "white american family" and none under "black american family". The only way I can explain this is there is manipulation of the algorithm to fit a certain perspective.

I don't think there is anything wrong with interracial families but I do think it is concerning that our search results are being subtly manipulated like this without most people knowing.
I understand that, but these are Google employees. I am literally watching them tell me something. If you were Project Veritas, you would turn away a Google employee giving you inside info?
Generally I think you're correct, Jamestown was established prior to 1619 and those settlers had conflict with Native Americans, so I believe it's correct to say discrimination is a good catch all term to summarize my point.

In terms of full enfranchisement I mean simply showing up, I live in Oregon which has vote by mail and it's wonderful. I first voted in 2012 (NYC) and had to wait outside online for hours to do so, I lived in a low income neighborhood at the time and many folks left the line to go to work because they could not deal with the cold.

I believe voting in a right that should not be taken away for almost any reason (perhaps treason), it's difficult for me to promote removing voting rights for felons with the understanding that our criminal justice system has disproportionately affected others, so a blanket policy remains my default position.

Desegregation is a tougher cookie, but fundamentally I believe it is up to us to understand the factors that cause it and work to remove them. Because desegregation is a multi variable issue it requires looking at housing policy, transportation, zoning, criminal justice and others.
In my vision the only challenge we need to overcome is to increase energy density/weight ratio by a factor of 100. Rest of the tech is already there.

I really love Calyx, and I have some old moving shadow mix cd's (eg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkyRsbTXNuE). Which sub-genre would you call this? And do you have any more recent recommendations along these lines?
Indeed, if there's a name for Amdahl's Law but generalized to bottlenecks in general then it would be in play here. Having real numbers would allow us to better understand the potential benefits (or lack thereof), although I think in this case it's profit that we specifically want to measure, rather than usage or popularity (since, after all, as long as profit is non-negative then it shouldn't result in unsellable/wasted product).
Is there any way this requirement makes any sense?
I think what people have (I hope) learned in the past few years is that intertia is based on all participants respecting basic norms of political interaction. But if you let a participant in who doesn't respect those and has no concern for consequences, things can change very quickly for the worse.
HN should start supporting TeX so people can argue in math instead.
No, none of these apps use your microphone to listen in on you. This has been stated many times in official newsroom posts, and in front of Congress.

It has been disproven countless times by simply looking at network traffic of the apps.

This is simply a version of the Birthday problem. You consider 100 things during any particular day. Facebook shows you 20 targeted ads in your newsfeed. It'd be a statistical anomaly if they were wrong about every single one of their choices. By pure random chance they're likely to get at least one right every once in a while.
It isn't clear though if McCarthy didn't know anything about the Lambda Calculus, or simply didn't know it well and didn't create Lisp as a concrete realization of Lambda Calculus. In that, he might have created Lisp for whatever other reasons and was doing his own exploration, but it's probable that in doing so, he used his inherent knowledge of many pre-existing literature, which could include some of Lambda Calculus, thus Lisp having some resemblance to it, like the use of lambda to define functions.

Also, realistically speaking, no programming language is based on the Lambda Calculus as is, even those that try to be.
"If you run a business and your solvency depends on the existence of another, larger business, you're not as independent as the title of 'business owner' alludes."

My point is that Youtubers can start their own sites and go elsewhere if they get tired of a large company controlling their content.

Unionization usually means they will now need to be paid a 'fair wage' and benefits..and your relationship changes to more of an employee..with more restrictions on what you can do.

Youtube also won't pay everyone as an employee and less people will be able to actually make money on the platform due to these restrictions.

"I like seeing alternative viewpoints"

This is is kind of crazy when you think about it: Independent business is now considered an 'alternative viewpoint' here on HN..a site dedicated to hackers, startups, and the tech business.

My guess is that the majority here work for large companies and really don't care about (or have even tried) running a business/startup.

"Since you're for retaliation against a bunch of people who dare try and organize around their shared pain points. I just can't do it this time!"

I'm not for retaliation, I'm just pointing out the unintended consequences.

Everything isn't deserving of a 'revolution'. If so, I would have started a revolution against HN years ago. I can't even have intellectual discussions, without scared users down voting my comments..because someone might be convinced of a different view point.
There's going to be a tradeoff between curation and producer freedom. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

I think the above is one of the key takeaways from the collective experience of the 20-teens! In a way, it's a summary of the whole history of the Internet.
Not that I'm confident or knowledgable enough to put money on any of this, but I believe it's assumed that the US has a privileged position in the world because of its relative stability (the US infrastructure wasn't ravaged during the World Wars) and has the world's Reserve Currency. If things were more "equatable" the US would have a less privileged position. That also means any losses will be difficult or impossible to get back.
Radio silence seems to be thr MO of most businesses here in Seattle when you apply.

Getting anything back can be the equivalent of pulling teeth, it seems the current corporate culture at many businesses is to not tell the applicant the status of their application.
Nothing about the intent behind the 2018 tax cuts was about them being good for the economy. They were good for the corporate sponsors of the legislation and administration that pushed for them and bad for the long term solvency of the country and bad for the working class as a whole.
Liquification plants typically cost billions of dollars. People are working on things which look like they're more in the 10's of millions range (just eyeballing the machinery and estimating by visible mass of machinery -it's not like they have a website they sell them on), but it's not clear they're cost effective.

I'm not convinced supporting it in hardware would make it any faster, compared to doing what we do now with fast integer arithmetic and reasonable software algorithms. Hardware only makes things faster if there's some good parallelism you can't express in software, like doing integer addition using modern hardware versus doing it the long way bit-by-bit.

Here's a whole post on the issue by an actual hardware designer:

https://yosefk.com/blog/its-done-in-hardware-so-its-cheap.ht...

Quote:

To see the limitations of hardware support, let's first look at what hardware can do to speed things up. Roughly, you can really only do two things:

1. Specialization - save dispatching costs in speed and energy.

2. Parallelization - save time, but not energy, by throwing more hardware at the job.

Skateboarders destroy things. They wax concrete edges and repeatedly grind them with metal trucks -- it doesn't take long at all for the edge to be worn away. If you've skated for any period of time you can pretty easily pick out where skateboarders have been. Additionally these edges usually exist in pedestrian areas, I can't tell you how many times I've almost been knocked down in front of Borough Hall.

I don't know if I'd term anti-skater deterrents as "hostile" but they are a necessity.
If you want to play that game, then citation needed that he went bankrupt and I only take his tax returns and financial statements.

See how this level of discussion of not just demanding a citation, but then limiting what citations you accept to an extremely small set of documents isn't constructive?
He didn’t “get” rich. He was born rich. He would have much more money today if he had passively invested it. The man is a managerial train wreck that’s been consistently burning untold wealth for 30+ years.

Much of what he has left was gotten by repeatedly breaking the law, and somehow only ending up with civil liability instead of criminal convictions.

Now he is actively wrecking the US economy and has somehow bullied the GOP into going along with it.

Agree on FHIR APIs are becoming ubiquitous especially with Apple Health pushing its adoption in consumer facing applications, not so much on the legacy enterprise side from what I've seen thus far (I work primarily in the clinical trials side of things) and we prototyped our own integration stack to help with wrangling with different standards (more like the lack thereof). It is worth actually building that ourselves in the early days as we have learned so much about the challenges to integrate with our partners and will at some point looking into interoperability partners as we scale.

Modern pipelines carry a multitude of stuff, they separate it with giant blasts of compressed air.

Obviously it'd be best if we didn't use any hydrocarbons for burning, but the alternatives to pipelines in the current economy are:

* Flare the gas off, instant C02

* Train crashes

* Increase well head pressures creating an explosion hazard (and if it blows, you now have a oil well fire)

* Put it through older pipelines engineered to safety standards of the 1950s
