I wonder if it would identify a question that breaks an implicit rule of English as nonsense. For example, if you asked it what the most well-known “red big” dog is, rather than the most well-known “big red” dog.

Amazon seems to have only recently moved ahead of Walmart in revenue[0], so I find it hard to support the store inherently has a smaller reach than a bazaar. Am I misunderstanding your position or the nuances therein?

I think my initial post agrees with your conclusion, though, which is that trying to be both is an area that is not as defined and is part of what is causing issues.

Show HN: Nimble Name Suggestion – DeepNamer Update
Hello all,

We all know that finding the right name for the app or domain name is hard and time-consuming, using DeepNamer we bring a hassle-free way to discover available app/domain name.

We just added a new feature to our platform, which is called Nimble Names Suggestion. Using this feature we suggest related next-generation TLDs to the users based on their input keywords.

For example, if the input is "video", our platform suggests names in the following TLDs: .video, .image, .media, .studio, and .tube

(In DeepNamer.com, when you typing in the search box, you can see "Nimble TLDs", you need to click to get only those names.

I would like to invite you to see our Nimble Name feature and share your feedback with us.

Thanks
You are far removed from reality. Talk to your friends in china. The anecdotal evidence is clear. Last week several of my friends attended an extravagant wedding.

Not to mention the statistical measures and statements from technocrats are all inline and consistent.

Your retort is the equivalent of flat earthers or fake moon landing conspiracy theories. Open your eyes.
UEFI makes this problem much easier—even if you still use a bootloader (no need!) there’s not much need to update it after it starts working.
IP theft is no joke and isn't some grey area of the law. By accessing and reusing code that belongs to someone else it would simply break the law and no-one would even try that considering how stupid it is.

Now anti-competitive behavior is much harder to control for and that's what would be at play here.
That's way too simplistic since Amazon is not one person and not every person has the same morals or ethics in the company. I see this a lot -- personifying a company that is. It's not a good mental abstraction for making arguments about companies.

Yes, exactly the point I was trying to make.
There's an old issue in your Github repo where you suggest that you may support OpenCL for GPU.

Is this on your roadmap?
Sorry if I wasn't being clear. I'm not saying that's the only way it can work in static languages. I'm saying that that's the way it tends to work out in practice, because the ergonomics of most popular static languages tend to discourage a less brittle approach.

Whereas the ergonomics of popular dynamic languages tend to favor an approach that I find, for this specific purpose, to be both less verbose and more robust.
There’s an update regarding this at the bottom of the post:

> Update edit: A few people have asked me or remarked about the lack of bounty. To be clear, I never actually submitted this bug via their bounty program (but was invited to do so), as was holding out for their new program (see post), and fell down the cracks a bit. Zoom didn’t decide against awarding a bounty – I never submitted for one, and disclosed here instead.
Interesting point.

The bazaar part of amazon is the worst part for me. It’s purely noise. I hate it and do whatever I can to filter it out. I just want the store part of amazon and like their basics brand stuff.
Python actually uses prototypal inheritance behind the scenes.

Pypy is a tracing JIT though which is quite different. JSC and v8 compile a method at a time. Spidermonkey used to use tracing, but switched to methods too (though I think it still does limited tracing in some situations).
Not who you asked, but without extra means you end up with free time any time you're not working. You can't afford to do anything.

If you don't have a job where you can simply take on more hours, but it's also not predictable enough that you can get a second job, you just end up with a lot of useless free time on short notice.

Can't afford hobbies, trips, no significant other (being poor doesn't help your dating life), what else is there to do?

It took money for me to actually run out of free time. I honestly really enjoy tinkering and fixing stuff, but it's usually no longer worth my time (to my own dismay).

Before money learning to fix something meant the difference between keeping the car going, or having your car break down without money for the shop bills. I've fixed lots of stuff by flashlight so I could get to work the next day.

Nowadays being put in that sort of back-against-the-wall scenario isn't likely to happen, unless I sign up for some sort of game show or reality TV where it's purposely planned.

Why couldn't the refund be conditional on granting removal permission? One issue would be they could still restore from a backup I suppose.
But when you have things like "duck typing", don't you think "they check types at runtime" becomes less meaningful? The majority of functions written in Python, even the ones that have type annotations, do not effectively have "assert isinstance(...)" in the program text below their signature, which is what I'd expect after reading "check types at runtime".

Also, Python now has (in its stdlib!) things like typing.Protocol, which is almost exclusively checked at type checking time. So if such a thing exists, and you still say "types are checked at runtime", isn't that confusing?
This exactly. The line of questioning is very combative, and they will ‘claim back their time’ if your response doesn’t go along with their narrative. These hearings are more like televised platforms for them to create sound-bites they can use in their campaigns.

Companies regularly use this trick to get away with crimes. They might explicitly forbid something illegal, not setup the actual guard rails that would prevent it, and then give employees every single possible incentive to break the rules. The moment they're caught they can act shocked, shocked, to discover that gambling was going on in this establishment, and then throw the line level workers under the bus.

This is exactly what Wells Fargo to get away with opening fraudulent accounts in their customers names.
Paying more for something that you think is higher quality hile beeing just as bad as the cheapest product is a bad thing. Assuming parent comment is right that this is the case.
Two options. Don't offer those services for third party vendors that don't want to hand their data to Amazon and tell the customers it's between them and the vendor, which seems like a reasonable trade-off.

Alternatively a proper secrecy management system that allows customers/vendors to expose particular data to Amazon for those purposes without handing everything and the kitchen sink over, with fine-grained controls.

A judge would not allow them to litigate for decades. This is a silly idea.
If we temporarily put aside the question of me being a monster, is there any evidence that fighting with the images helps in any way to prevent the actual crime? People playing violent video games do not go to the street killing people as a result of that, if anything they become less likely to get involved in actual crime. Do you expect someone accidentally seeing such a video to be "converted" by it and to attempt to do such things himself, or do you see some other harm done by not removing these videos?

FYI i do not support watching porn, using drugs, drinking alcohol, and all the other things that used to be frowned upon by different religions, but trying to prevent such thought-crimes and self-harm crimes by law instead of persuasion have always caused more harm than good.

>Given the mountains of anecdata on this subject ...

Isn't there a saying for this? "the plural of anecdote is not data"?

This reminds me of the meme that facebook/google is listening in on you without you knowing it, the evidence for which is mountains of anecdotes of people claiming that [product] showed up on their ads shortly after them talking about [product], despite them never expressing an interest in [product] to facebook/google. Despite the mountains of evidence, no one was able to provide a shred of solid evidence of the fact (eg. decompiled binary, network capture, runtime analysis).

I feel it would be more productive to let databases handle any shared state and only write my own code that uses local state. If the databases are falling short I am sure they will catch up in a hurry, and will do a better job than I will have time for.
Also give away your position.
I assume that by "work remotely", you mean working for an employer, not working for yourself.

What if one of your friends got a new job and now they're working for your employer's competitor? Your employer might not want you to share a workspace with them anymore. Depending on the kind of things your employer was developing, they might not want anyone being able to look over your shoulder who wasn't a co-worker.

I think that a more likely scenario would be companies renting lots of small, local blocks of office space in different neighborhoods where their employees lived, which would be limited to their own employees.

Also: Are you prepared to pay the cost of renting this office space out of your own pocket? Your employer gets a really good deal if you work remotely out of your own home, since they don't have to pay for the space. But if you're going to be asking for a reimbursement for office space that you rented, they'd be much less happy. If they agreed to pay for it at all, you'd probably have to provide a careful accounting of how much you, personally, paid and what kinds of services are included in the rent (maybe your employer doesn't want to reimburse you for free beer). Again, it would be much simpler if the employer rented space for their employees, since they'd have control over what kind of space, furnishings and services they were paying for.
Clojure is strongly typed. I think you mean statically typed.

They're orthogonal concerns. C is statically and weakly typed. Clojure is dynamically and strongly typed. PHP is dynamically and weakly typed. Haskell is statically and strongly typed. Java, as the most design-by-committe language ever, manages to be a mix of all four.

> Or maybe in 2020 the actual SoC is a piece of commodity hardware and claiming that the SoC + support components is the totality of hardware design is how you get constantly overheating iPhones that bend when you put them in your back pocket.

I mean, it's not a commodity. Another SoC means it's not a switch anymore as the software is incredibly tied to the specifics of that SoC.

Also, Samsung isn't a Japanese company, so their chips being in there doesn't make it any closer to Japanese hardware.

At a higher level Agile is about delivering value end-to-end as soon as possible, repeated a lot of times. The iterative part is important, because you're supposed to be measuring and learning based on past deliverables.

I don't know how your company organizes the security teams, but both at Yahoo and now at GoDaddy the security folks delivered a lot of software. Code scanners, patches rollout, monitoring, etc...

I agree you can't exactly deliver phishing protection, but for example I've seen fake phishing emails being sent by executives, and then the security team measures if employees are taking the bait. You do that every once in a while, measuring if things are improving or not. Maybe there are other angles you can use to approach how you measure the value your team delivers.
I wouldn’t be mad if they had their own products without using data mining to compete against their sellers. It’s that they use advanced data intelligence to compete.

If they competed naively (had a hard wall between their market place division and their consumer products division, I wouldn’t have an issue.
Many, if not most, of the people working on advanced JavaScript VMs come from a Java background. I would say JS VMs are orders of magnitude more sophisticated in the type of behavioral profiling they do in order to recover types, understand object shapes, and shortcut prototype lookups. While HotSpot and Azul (a progeny of HotSpot) are highly tuned, a lot more investment has gone into bread-and-butter JIT and GC work, whereas JS runtimes have to have a very advanced object model and type profiling infrastructure.

You don't know that large amounts of refunds are treated as fraud, its just wishful thinking, as i thought.

In the EU i have a right to a refund, there is no part of that right that forbids me from repeating that purchase. Since we have established that Apple don't suffer financially from obeying these rules to the letter, i see no incentive for them to treat this kind of thing like fraud.

They might, but you have not established this, and i don't think its a fair assumption to make.
Hell yes! Good luck!

This distinction is not hard and fast even in the physical world. Just go to original department stores in Paris. They have a mix of stalls for merchants and the general store.

Also many landlords (airports, arenas, etc...) charge a percentage of sales instead of a fixed rate (and even fixed rates can be adjusted based on perceived revenue).

Amazon is basically the Internet version of WalMart. WalMart used its power to force suppliers' margins to near nothing thus lowering prices for consumers and making the WalMart heirs some of the richest people in the world. Amazon uses its power to improve the consumer experience overall thus making Bezos the richest person in the world.

The complaints leveraged at Amazon have analogues to those leveraged at WalMart. Also, WalMart has copied Amazon's online strategy including being a store/bazaar hybrid.

This area would seem to be very hard to legislate. I suspect that most of the tech giants are now partly competing with each other and partly with the next big innovations. Amazon became WalMart's competition with the rise of the Internet.
I'd like to see if that actually works as an adversarial technique to gait tracking, I would assume it wouldn't - given that a gait has a lot of variables, a pebble in the shoe should just tweak one or two, and only reduce significance, but not throw a wrench in the identification entirely.

PC-88 and PC-98 software is super fascinating. Thousands of games, many with mind-blowingly beautiful pixel art which was leaps and bounds better than their American counterparts. Displays really needed to be better in Japan because of the challenge of displaying elaborate Japanese characters.

As an aside, both were infamous for huge libraries of pornographic games (eroge). Game companies like Enix, Square and Nihon Falcom made eroge for those platforms before they found mainstream success.

Anyways, there's a ton of very cool and cutting edge gaming history, and the sad thing is how inaccessible a lot of it is since most of it never saw translations. For example, Yu-No was a groundbreaking visual novel that influenced games like Steins;Gate (both had similar themes of parallel worlds), but never got brought over because it was text heavy and (unsurprisingly) laden with smut. Many japanese games and series that we now consider classic first came about on PC-88/PC-98/MSX2 or had side games on them.

One of my favorite twitter bots is PC-98 Bot, which posts screengrabs of PC-98 games: https://twitter.com/PC98_bot
It can make up reasons just like it can make up answers. That doesn't mean they are the real reasons.

Then again, people do the same.

Since it's autocomplete, asking for the reasoning first makes it likely that the reasoning is used to calculate the answer. It would be interesting to see how accuracy changes when they are in the opposite order, and the reasoning is a post-hoc justification of the previously given answer.

You could also change the answer and see what the new post-hoc justification looks like.
1. UK fertility rate: 1.79, US fertility rate: 1.77. So not a very big difference in spite of seemingly huge differences in the system as you portray. What could be the reason?

2. You mention that you are in the valley and a FAANG engineer. Between my partner and me, we have experiences of 4 out of those 5. All of them had far more generous parental leave policies than "2 weeks paid leave" like you claim. Can you please name your company? Because it honestly doesn't jive with our experience as an engineer in the valley.

I'd be surprised if the average is significantly greater than 1 release per day. Retro styles are all the rage. But its much easier to develop on Pico-8.

A good proxy is probably community size and passion. And there I would say the biggest market is undoubtedly Nintendo retro. Most are available via emulation, re-release. But the install base of working vintage consoles must be quite sizable still.

Store it encrypted and log access.

For accounting purposes you can still have line items with less specific category labels.

To be honest you probably don't even need to do much other than gate the data between teams (CSR vs product) and use permissions that prevent bulk aggregation across records for anyone not on a specific non-product team. Lots of businesses have internal policies like this (banks for example).

The reason they don't isn't due to the implementation challenges but because they don't have to (yet).

Should Bezos / Amazon be fined or penalized? Absolutely not. His statements just prove what should already be obvious. Businesses won't police themselves.

This applies to all marketplace platforms where an incentive exists to abuse your access to third party sales data (like app stores).

That would still mean that Apple would need to have a remote way of scanning every device currently connected to your account (even it's offline..?) to see if you have the app installed anywhere. It's trivial if the app can only exist on a single device and that is the only device that can request the refund. But that's not the reality.
The operating system "library of system functions" does not belong in an app, unless you want to have a single app running on a dedicated machine.

In any machine capable of running more than one app, an operating system is necessary, even if just for cold-booting, console i/o, and some form of file system. (As in the 8-bit OSs of the 70s and 80s.)
