The other issue which Bezos has less control over is delivery, especially in areas where its own logistics service is limited.

A friend living in rural New Hampshire says Amazon will no longer deliver goods to people in his town, which indicates a last-mile delivery problem.

Another friend in North Carolina said the U.S. Post Office stopped delivery to all of the buildings in his apartment complex because the leasing office was now closed.

There are other situations in which delivery companies understandably don't want to follow pre-COVID procedures because it's no longer safe to do so.
Ebay has seller reviews, and I know who the seller actually is. More importantly, ebay doesn't mix the inventory of every seller.

I buy everything I can on AliExpress now, because if I'm gonna get chinese knock-offs, they should at least be cheap.
Well. eventually someone looked at it. And probably Heartbleed has been used a long time before it was published.
Well for one they control it. But a good advantage that it has over flatpak is that flatpak cannot run on servers while Snap can, though it doesn't sound like it's enabled for servers in this release?
Can you talk abou wha kind of malware comes from JS scripts?
Alternative implementations of programs often use Clean Room reverse engineering, for a reason.
At this time when a lot of Telehealth is relying on a simple video chat, that has to be accessible to anyone with phone and internet, it's impossible to set it up in any other browser on iOS then Safari, which forces people to either download apps that video chats or use Safari. A big chunk of people is left out because of this. There has to be a shift.
I'm a fan of the systemd umbrella project, and systemd PID 1. However, it's great to see innovation in this space, and with a clean design.

For example, systemd bundles service management (Type=, Restart=) and containers (DynamicUser=, SyscallFilter=, etc.) into the same binary/process. Shepherd separates these roles.

Shepherd just does service management. Containerisation can be provided by any tool, but Guix System provide call-with-container to make this easier: https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2017/running-system-services-in-co...
Yep, ours are all wired together. Sometimes when I am a little over-enthusiastic searing a steak, I think they can probably hear the ruckus a quarter mile away when every single alarm goes off at once. Makes me feel somewhat secure that I'll be woken up if there is ever an actual fire.
Is there a more efficient way to get downvotes on HN than saying something positive about Amazon, or simply say that Amazon doesn't suck? Probably not.
You can recognise the subject isn’t pleasant, yet you’re surprised people react badly to it?
But that is already true. You cannot buy a mac any more which runs 32 bit software. So Apple is obviously willing to make things miserable for a considerably part of their user base. Me included. I will avoid anything with Catalina, because I still have a very few 32bit programs I want to run and can't upgrade. As long as macOS runs on x86 hardware, there is not much justification for such a break. Yes, they clean up the software stack, but at a very high price.

The only good reason I can imagine is, that when Tim Cook announces macOS on ARM, he will claim "runs everything that runs on Catalina".

Really??
Firefox runs multiple sites in a single process, its sandboxing doesn't come close.
> This is sort of a "no one goes there anymore, it's too crowded" criticism. Huge delivery times are because they're getting so many orders (which means so much revenue, which means so much profit).

Is that completely true? I thought the delays were at least partially due to staffing problems (e.g. increased absenteeism, worker social distancing).
Feel free to provide basis for any of these claims.

Sounds like (a polarized) wanting a yes/no-solution.
Maybe for a speech solution you can use a transcript (speech to text converter) which stretches every possible text hyperlinking to (educating) extending webpages with further information hyperlinks, on a topic (wiki, translating pages,...) -what for sure let 'their' influence on you um grow and possibly become more polarized ? An example-try:

Methods:

language regulation,

using evaluative Words
telling shortend storys
repetition
boasting
hints ma(s)king half-truth to truth

So now, with that on your mind lets test the transcript adding hyperlinks using the named methods... (-;
I'd been wondering why crowded public transport where people are breathing right next to one another hasn't caused massive spreading. This explanation makes a lot of sense - only when we cough or have to speak loudly do we exhale a significant amount of droplets.
~150 solar masses is the Eddington limit[1] where the outward luminosity pressure becomes greater than the inward gravitational pressure holding the star together. Stars probably cannot grow past this size through normal accretion. However, a few[2] stars have been estimated to have masses much greater than 150 solar masses, up to R136a1 [3] with an estimated 315 solar masses.

> You couldn't combine the 11's CPU with the 5's battery - battery life would be laughable.

Do you have a source for that? It seems like many of the times Apple upgrades their chip, they advertise greater power efficiency. E.g. for the A13 (from Wikipedia):

> Apple claims the two high performance cores are 20% faster with 30% reduction in power consumption, and the four high efficiency cores are 20% faster with a 40% reduction in power when compared to the A12.

Similarly the A12:

> It has two high-performance cores which are claimed to be 15% faster and 50% more energy-efficient than the Apple A11

And A8:

> Apple states that it has 25% more CPU performance and 50% more graphics performance while drawing only 50% of the power of its predecessor, the Apple A7.

I've searched the web and can't seem to find any source that actually specifies power consumption of Apple's chips by generation, stretching from the A6 to A13.

So for all I know, the 11's CPU with the 5's battery might be far better, not far worse. It doesn't seem like any kind of law that newer processors use more energy. So only actual data will give an answer.

They're prioritizing only essential goods, everything else is delayed until later. That's the best solution for the largest number of people, especially those at higher risk, for whom one click one stop shop is a very attractive value proposition. But if you can, this is a perfect time to buy direct from your local businesses who offer curb side pick-up or delivery.
You're referring to financial shell companies used for tax evasion and are a very specific kind of shell company.

Shell companies in general are pretty commonly used and pretty common in the US (I can't speak to other countries). It's very easy to setup a very basic corporation anywhere in the US and can take anywhere from a week to a month depending on the state.

That corporation can get paid to run ads by another corporation. The new corporation will pay Google to run the ads and will still pay taxes, but their name will show up. The new corporation is providing a service as a middleman.

There are some specific restrictions on doing this kind of thing for other purchases and acting on others behalf, but not for ad buys.
If there was a big demand for pedestrian navigation (walking around an unfamiliar city is not a frequent activity for most people) we would already have better solutions, such as good voice navigation, which would arguably be better than can be done on the low-res Google glass display.
Receiving messages and notifications is a very frequent occurrence for most people these days. Personally I suspect I'd find the watch notification preferable to one that appears in my peripheral vision (disrupting attention) for that use case.
Exactly.

It's extremely upsetting to see decisions like the parent's.

What's more concerning is the tone is absolute - the intention is "I know exactly what is right and the world shall follow my lead".

Of course it is lower then it's peak, that's why it's called a peak. It's true for every asset. At the same time good luck finding a real gold bar at that price right now when COMEX and LBMA just added unknown, secret ,,market makers'' to ,,increas liquidy'' of the futures contracts.

UCLA Develops Simpler Way to Build Complex and Better-Performing 3D Electronics
it's funny, i actually really loved this gesture and was upset that it was removed from the new x-series phones, so much so that i emailed craig federighi about it and we had a back-and-forth about it, but ultimately he explained why they removed it and that it's unlikely to come back.
UHS-I did add a dual-edge mode at 50MHz, but SD never got up to the 8 bits MMC supports (also at about 50 MHz, so UHS-I should be roughly half the speed of high-end MMC). UHS-II went to LVDS instead, which despite using fewer lanes can support much higher clock rates, so it’s not immediately obvious which is theoretically faster with newer versions. I need to get to work or I’d do the math.

UHS-3 doubles the LVDS speed, and SD Express turned them into a PCIe lane. I haven’t kept up to see what MMC standards have been added lately, if any, but my impression is that it has been stagnant for a while.
Well, actually, not everyone does try. Doctors are much more likely to choose palliative care over life-saving care for themselves late in life[1]. Many treatments simply cause the patient to suffer while providing little chance of longer-term quality of life, so there's a strong argument to be made for letting a person die more comfortable rather than marginally extending their life with more suffering.

André Comte-Sponville, French Philosopher, on Coronavirus and Containment
This is what I understand a Microkernel: it handles the bare minimum of system duties: process creation/management, memory management, IPC mechanism, I/O access. This is where you implement your security layer in order to isolate and protect hardware, processes, and memory. You can even implement namespacing and isolation to make each process look like it's running in a container or VM so to speak.

All of your drivers and user programs live in user space and secured via the kernel. E.g. a USB host controller is a process which talks to the hardware and provides some sort of interface which USB device drivers can talk to to implement their respective device interfaces. A file system on a disk is handled by a file system process speaking e.g. ext4 to a disk and then a socket is provided to mount and access the files.

It's a very nice setup because if your IPC mechanism is how everything talks then you can think of the kernel as a microservice host and IPC router which your processes talk through. They can provide or consume resources. Now if you can push that IPC mechanism over the network transparently then you have a distributed system. Then you eliminate a lot of code and protocol nonsense talking over networks.

news article about it (with statement from Cloudflare, TL;DR "yes we get paid by such services but we don't want to be in the business of deciding if they are bad or not"): https://www.secureworldexpo.com/industry-news/does-cloudflar...

> Sure, Cloudflare can decrypt SSL traffic and send it to the origin server unencrypted, but that can be (and is) done without Cloudflare involved at all, and you aren't any safer that way.

So because you could run an unsafe configuration without Cloudflare, it's ok for Cloudflare to offer it?

I think criticism of Cloudflare is often overblown, but it's not like they are perfect. Run agressive marketing, expect to get called out for your failings.

Not really in this case though. Ethically there's not much of a concern with that study since we don't know what works so we're not doing any harm by prescribing known bad methods. The ethical harm would come from a poor study design that won't tell us anything useful. Getting good data from a study like this is really difficult, and we can't really accomplish anything by discarding good data for the sake of efficiency
Right in the beginning even the WHO knew little about Covid19 and transmissibility, mortality , etc., so anyone questioning their initial assertions would have been banned. That’s bad. The WHO is not an infallible know-it-all.

This is bogus.
My objection is primarily that the OP asserted:

- ventilators are useless

- testing and contact tracing will be useless

- all of these things slow down our progress in studying the real answer

...without absolutely any evidence to back it up, or with any kind of disclaimer attached. In an environment where people are literally burning down cellphone masts because they think it's giving them COVID I don't think it's unreasonable to ask someone making such strident assertions where they're getting their conclusions from.
Since they supported multiple versions at once, important bugfixes were backported, but risky new features were not. For a year or so after each release, the previous release was more stable. This let the customer choose between security/stability and new features.

I think it’s a great model, but it breaks down when the new version is a feature/usability regression vs the old version.

Once that started happening more often than not, the “aas” models came out, where the vendors started force upgrading users instead of trying to compete with version N-1.

This is worse for the users, but better for deadline-focused middle management, so it’s become incredibly popular.
More than the number of people who were able to do so before. And hopefully if they find something shady they will let others know. This is why we require certain political ads to be attributed.
From what I've been lead to believe, kids do get infected, but they virtually never become symptomatic.
Yes. It is. It's frighteningly high, but likely necessary: We have a massive crisis. It seems like the least of all evils, unless we somehow are able to act with focused intelligence.

On the one hand: Look at unemployment rates, business failure rates, mortgage defaults, people unable to pay for food/medicine/shelter, or any other economic metrics, and plot even conservative predictions even a month or two out. The economy will be dead very quickly if we don't do something drastic.

On the other hand: If we let it burn: look at COVID19 mortality rates, and multiply by a significant fraction of the US population. You land on numbers greater than WWI casualties, and likely greater than all previous wars combined. Heck, looking at permanent lung damage alone, we're already tanking our economy.

These are exceptional times.

They take exceptional measures.

The metrics I care about are: (1) Structural damage to the economy (layoffs, defaults, bankruptcies, etc.). (2) The number of people working (likely in pandemic-adapted industries) (3) Deaths. To minimize those, we'll either need to be clever or to inflate. So far, we've been really bad at clever.
Pretty much as the title states. I'm a long-time dsktop Linux/Debian only user using zsh/emacs as the base for stuff but obviously use the usual suspects as well.

eBay and Amazon are apples and oranges.

eBay is an auction site where all the products you buy are from a random third party seller. Period. Amazon is a mix of of their own products, products they sell and fulfill on behalf of third parties and transactions they merely facilitate while the third party is responsible for fulfillment.

While the distinction between these products may seem obvious to you or I, many typical consumers I talk to who use Amazon seem baffled when I mention that not everything Amazon sells actually comes from or is fulfilled by Amazon. Their UI to describe these different purchasing scenarios is vague at best.

It's a silly assertion to think most ISP customers would care about RPKI, even if made aware. Gmail works? Netflix works? Facebook works? Zoom works? Carry on. Prove me wrong! I would love to be wrong. People don't even care about PATRIOT act renewals, it is highly unlikely they're concerned about the implementation of cryptographic primitives for authenticating routing updates.

"Did you know China could poison routing tables and see all your data?" "I don't do anything I care about them seeing." This is from a real conversation with your average non-tech individual. It is not a technology issue (today, you could use VPNs [WARP] and cryptography to create a mesh from end users to Cloudflare to server side endpoints and fail closed when BGP routing gets hijacked temporarily anywhere in the mesh), it is a privacy advocacy issue. Encouraging people to care is the hard part.
Yeah, no... I'm not jumping down that rabbithole of thought-terminating cliches.

So far the net result of Sweden's strategy is that they have 2,021 coronaviris deaths, more than 4x more than Poland, which also has almost 4x bigger population - so Sweden has 16x more deaths per 1M of citizens than Poland.

Then Amazon shouldn’t mix being a first party marketplace with being a third party marketplace. They take care of distribution and refunds so at least some of the responsibility falls on them as long as they keep playing peekaboo with who the source of Amazon items is.

Amazon should have a separate logo style for pages not sold by Amazon.
They don't care because they don't truly know the depth of the implications.
I am more than a little naive on the subject, but is it possible that the vector instructions could be farmed out to a co-processor that is dedicated to that kind of workload? I suspect that the rich instruction set leads to higher transistor count and density(?true?) and thus higher TDP?

There isn't anything at all racist in my comment, either in intent or actual content. China, in particular, has stopped those exact markets in the past and they could do it again. They could build a food distribution system that does not rely on wildlife in wet markets. It is entirely reasonable to suggest that mitigation efforts for the next potential pandemic is absolutely as much their responsibility as it is any Western nation.
Are you talking about covid essential goods? From the context of your post, it sounds like you are. The Amazon shopping horribleness has been ongoing for at least a couple years, this isn't a new thing. It's been at least 18 months since I've stopped purchasing things I need to trust, like laptop chargers, electronics, etc, from Amazon.

You mean to upgrade EBPF itself? Well of course. Same as any kernel upgrade.

> Of course this might open you up to security problems if you're relying on incorrect assumptions while doing that.

I don't follow. It's giving the system a full proof of safety. What assumptions are there? It seems very similar to Java's class verification, which doesn't suffer from issues with ungrounded assumptions.

> this project also has trusted components of its own, such as the JIT. A proof verifier can be a lot simpler than a JIT.

Interesting point. It might reduce the total amount of highly-trusted kernel code to approach things that way.

Yes. Or twice that time for that matter. And they aren't stuck on some outdated OS version.
