If you’re a manufacturer without a strong brand, it’s incredibly risky selling through Amazon. They will take your sales data to evaluate ROI of building it themselves , and then undercut you.

Similar if you’re a retailer.

You’re dismissing the mall call by saying no analogy is perfect since it doesn’t work for your argument but then you’re comparing against grocery stores, which is a pretty gross simplification.

Amazon isn’t a grocery store. The majority of their catalog isn’t even available at most grocery stores, maybe excluding WalMart.

My family owned several convenience stores growing up. Some products were bought and it was your problem to move them off shelves. Some were displayed on shelves and you only paid for what was actually sold. This was common with one of the distributors who gave us Frito Lay products. Other products had strict terms - for instance, Pepsi and Coke distributors wouldn’t give you competitive pricing unless you agreed to purchase Y in X quantity, place their mini coolers next to the refrigerator, place signage within x feet, clearly visible from the front entrance, etc. suddenly, you’re the only store in town who sells 16 oz soda for $1.59 just to break even while everyone else is selling the same soda for $1.09 or just 99 cents.

It’s a different model than Amazon and you’re taking liberties to simplify it

I think this shows a difference between ways of thinking.

A helmet helps to mitigate your injuries during a serious accident, but tacitly accepts that such serious accidents still happen.

The Dutch government feels that serious accidents are not acceptable in the first place, and seeks to eliminate them (almost) entirely.

There is more to it than merely safety rules. It's making separate roads for bicycles, making different intersections, taking care of tiny little details like the exact shape of the curb (to minimize damage and injury if hit).

It's a systematic, integrated, systems thinking approach; backed by (in total) billions of Euros of infrastructure investment and research over several decades.

It's not that a helmet doesn't give more protection (it does), it's just that for normal A-to-B cycling, one should make things so the helmet is no longer needed.

Not necessary. TV media networks have been sucking up to the government basically since the beginning of TV news. See also, TV news' furor to hype up the Iraq War, even as many newspaper journalists and politicians were crying foul.

If I were willing to stay in the Android ecosystem, this is what I'd do. But I'm not (nor am I willing to go with iOS). It's just become too difficult, painful, and uncertain to secure them anymore.

Instead, when I need to replace my current (ancient) smartphone, I'm falling back to a feature phone combined with carrying a pocket computer that just runs plain old Linux.
Most of the post-WW2 twentieth century "hot" conflict in non-aligned countries is the result of a relative power balance between opposing forces - in Latin America, specifically, the unwillingness of neither the US nor the Soviet governments to devote the full power of their militaries to the local geography, but rather a limited force that supported a local proxy (similar to how Iran currently supports proxies across the Middle East). None of these local proxies were sufficiently more powerful than the others, plus drug cartel interests typically developed their own power which itself was not overwhelmingly more powerful (sometimes, not overwhelmingly less powerful) than the other local players.

I’ve been using Dark for the past 12 months and I cannot say enough good things about the product and the team behind it.

Here’s what I like about Dark:

- Build API endpoints in a matter of seconds. As soon as the logic is written in Dark, the endpoint is publicly available on the internet

- Live data: Dark has a feature called traces that shows data as it hits your endpoints. This allows you to quickly manipulate code between your front + backend

- Easy interaction between third-party APIs (for me it handles logic with Stripe, Twilio, and several others)

TLDR: Dark has enabled me to build a backend faster than ever before. If you’re building something new, I suggest you give it a go.
Less anthropomorphism in machine learning is good IMO.

> We'd all be better off if we lived in a world where cars and widgets and clothes cost twice as much, but healthcare half as much.

No, we wouldn't, because people buy cars and clothes more often than they buy health care.

What costs a lot in the US is health insurance, not health care. And that's because the thing called health "insurance" isn't actually insurance; it's not just covering you against unforeseen large expenses. It's more like an expensive maintenance plan that you're forced to buy whether it's cost effective to you or not--like the full service maintenance plans that car dealers try to sell you, except that you can refuse to buy them from car dealers.

What really needs to happen is to separate out three very different things that are lumped together today into what is misleadingly called "health insurance":

(1) Routine, predictable maintenance expenses, like regular physical exams and vaccinations, and routine care for common illnesses like the flu. These should be provided by a competitive free market, like they were in the US before WW II when employers started offering health benefits to attract workers since wartime regulations prohibited them from offering higher wages. Competition would drive these costs down since the expenses are routine and it's reasonably easy for people to tell good providers from bad ones.

(2) Unforeseen, large, temporary expenses, like accidents. These are what would normally be covered by something properly called "insurance". For auto accidents, people's auto insurance is already required to cover them in most states; but for other kinds of accidents--slips and falls, broken bones while playing sports, etc.--an ordinary insurance model would be suitable, provided by health insurance companies.

(3) Expensive chronic conditions that require ongoing treatment (usually drugs, but not always). These are the hard ones to cover, but a system that was dedicated to covering them and nothing else would be much better than the bastardized system we have now that lumps everything together. These are the kinds of things where it makes sense to pool national resources and provide some kind of universal coverage, since it's usually not feasible to assign specific causes so an ordinary insurance model can't work. But if national resources were pooled to provide universal coverage for just these things, we could see how much they actually cost and we would be more focused on finding ways to reduce the frequency of such conditions.

It looks like this was released either in 8.x[0] or 9.x[1] series. Unclear to me which one. That means that only up to about 1/3 of Android devices[2] have the feature. Version distribution is one of the things that seems to tip stuff like this in favor in iOS[3].

Admittedly, the distribution of Android devices on 8.x+ is higher than I even expected before looking at this.

Well no. There was one case where the USA couldn't reach a company in another country, so the next time an employee came on holiday to the USA, he was thrown in jail. Don't remember the details, unfortunately.
Unless the US has someone from inside Russian intelligence willing to go on the record that Snowden provided actionable intelligence, this seems like a moot point. Certainly this kind of circumstantial evidence (or, really, lack of evidence) wouldn't be allowed in a proper, legal trial.
I respect your lengthy comment but I will respond with a much much shorter one. If the "law" (regulation, constitution, etc.) defies logic and sense, then it is the law that should change. Not rape the planet and its inhabitants because that CANCER called Facebook with those greedy bastard C-suites and shareholders want to "move fast and break things" want to add one-more-zero to their bottom line.

Amazon's reputation is pretty damaged in my eyes. I have rarely used them for electronics anymore as you can't trust anything. Even at work we used prime to buy certain items and I stopped it.

Example: Last week two symbol barcode scanners used in the erp system died. I look up the same model on newegg and see that sold and shipped by newegg it was about $120. Amazon had multiple listing in the $60 range and checking reviews I see things like "died in two weeks", FAKE, "died and returned to symbol only for them to say it was a fake and they were refused service or replacement". How do you build trust with shenanigans like that? No thanks, Newegg got my money.

Amazon seems to be playing oblivious to all this mainly because people are STILL using them. So as long as they are making money they can afford to lose a few "picky" customers here and there. The rest are happy to buy trash because they save a buck. Capitalism at its finest.
Amazon take egregious shortcuts on oversight for counterfeit goods, which they are compelled by law to not sell, so expecting them to suddenly practice due diligence on stuff coming out of a factory in China is just laughable.

1Password allows you to add family members with access to specific values either read-only or read/write. The system for adding access is multi-step so unless you add someone to a vault they shouldn’t see, you have the flexibility to share as little or as much as you want. Since you can name the vaults you can name them things like “Shared with M Toussant (Attorney)” or “Samir Martha and Paul” which can make it easy to determine where to store what secrets. Have been using Business for a few years with some of my companies and Family with my family and have had good experiences. You can initiate recoveries as the administrator as well which has been helpful in both cases.
Edward Snowden being treated like a criminal instead of a hero really opened my eyes. He's a patriot who tried to warn us about a government agency reaching far beyond the powers granted to it by the people...and he is called a traitor? It's the most outrageous thing I've ever witnessed in this country. We need Snowden back. He put his life on the line for the people of this country. I can't say I know anyone in Washington with an equal commitment to the people.
Probably because they're looking for ways to lower costs rather than just move them from insurance to taxes at the same cost, which then becomes much more difficult to renegotiate or improve because a uniform system requires you to have to deal with millions of previously independent stakeholders instead of each party doing what works best for their situation.

They may also need a solution sooner than it would take Congress to do something like that, given the amount of opposition to it from people who prefer the status quo -- or any of a dozen competing alternative solutions to high healthcare costs.
It’s odd to me to think that something which is user-centric could be “grossly unfair” to vendors.

If you view vendors on the platform as existing to serve the users (as I do), the contradiction evaporates. If you view users as existing to serve the vendors, then it’s possible.
I'm also aware of a project from a major automotive supplier to attempt the same thing. From my understanding it's unlikely to succeed because manufacturers view suppliers as commodity producers of components they find boring like brakes, steering systems, sensors, transmissions, safety systems, fuel pumps, etc. Not as anything resembling a true partner. Not to mention that it would require competitors to collaborate closely in the production of a highly complex piece of software.

That said, how many times have we seen this story in other industries?

1 Legacy corporation is warned that an integrated, consumer-friendly software architecture for [multi-billion product line] is needed, and failure to produce one creates an opportunity for an insurgent competitor and/or commodification by adjacent supply chain players.

2 Leadership laughs and ignores mounting evidence of just such a threat emerging for up to a decade.

3 Lo and behold, prophesied competitor finally emerges and finds immediate market success.

4 Legacy company announces that they'll bring a competing solution to market, promising investors that they'll produce a similar quality OS, but across 39 models, uniting 457 separate component suppliers AND the entire post-purchase product support infrastructure. They're starting today and promise to launch in 12 months.

5 Legacy company lights billion dollar bonfire to distract investors while CTO frantically tries to source a robust embedded operating system with consumer-grade interfaces and feature set.

6 Best case, no one who has such an OS will license it. Worst case, Google will.

7 Leadership jumps ship, legacy company craters or slowly slides into irrelevance, and CEO later gives interviews about how absolutely no one could have seen this coming, with a sidebar complaining about software engineering salaries.

Honestly, this whole narrative is becoming a bit boring at this point. VW is at stage 5. The fact that its leadership consists entirely of charlatans is self-evident.

It's similar in C#. Once you have some experience writing latency-sensitive .NET code like games or realtime multimedia, GC works quite well in practice because you learn how to write code in a way that doesn't stress the GC too much. People who don't care about latency are still able to get their stuff done.

I won a dots and box bot competition years ago with this: https://github.com/farnasirim/dots-and-lines-box.

It plays fine in general, but I had not heard about the trick for the 4x4 case (outlined in the video) back then, so it doesn't support it.

Sure, change is unstable. But there are better and worse ways to transition - i.e. the difference between a violent revolution and a bloodless coup (leaving aside for argument's sake the academic question of whether a bloodless coup is even realistically possible).

The issue is to think that a single website and a single way of doing business is all you need on the web.

But in fact companies like Amazon have customised sites, T&Cs, and procedures for every country they operate in because they have to comply with many different legal systems.

But that does not mean that operating a business on the web in a single country makes you liable throughout the world. That being said, accepting a foreign customer might make you liable to the law of that customer's country.
