It takes a lot of work to get listed and move into new categories, and you can be removed very quickly for the slightest of reasons. This goes to show the scale of the problem in policing logistics at this scale (not to say that Amazon shouldn't be responsible for it).

I am not new to 3P/FBA myself. I ran a store in my college days 2010-2012, and know number of Alibaba, and Amazon employees who were directly involved into managing vendors.

Among Chinese vendors, there is a very ambivalent attitude towards Amazon. People know that Amazon is at a times can be n-times more profitable than an analogous listing on Aliexpress, or any other smaller platform, but at the same time an extremely zealous enforcement is a giant turnoff to proper vendors.

Nobody who is ready to play "by the rules" goes to sell on Amazon among Chinese vendors because you can spend tens of thousands of bucks invested in the store for it be deletes without any questions asked.

Add to that that better vendors will not be bothering with creating shell companies, or using fake IDs to get Amazon verification. This way, Amazon has driven off the few proper vendors from China they had, and now they have to deal with fly-by-night, quick money types as they are the only ones who are ready to tolerate this treatment.
The Witcher Saga by Sapkowski. For the first time in years I felt like I got really "lost" in a book again and it was fantastic. I could do that easily when I was kid/teenager, now it's much harder to achieve for me.
Awesome analogy!
There are a few considerations here:

- The Raspberry Pi is one of the better technical solutions. It is relatively low cost, low power, and is fairly representative of how the Macintosh SE would get on ethernet networks back in the day. (In many cases a more powerful computer would serve as a bridge between LocalTalk and ethernet networks.)

- Ethernet cards for the SE are rather uncommon since most SE's used LocalTalk for file and printer sharing. PDS cards were more-or-less specific to a model of Macintosh, so the option of sticking in a card intended for later models is not an option. SCSI-to-ethernet bridges are only an option if you find one with the drivers, since the drivers are virtually impossible to find after the fact.

I will admit to being a bit disappointed by this article. I was hoping for something more along the lines of interfacing an SE to the Raspberry Pi's internal UART since that would take a bit more skill, though not an absurd amount of skill. On the other hand, it is a demonstration of getting an archaic SE online is more about creativity than ingenuity. That's important for many of the people who pursue vintage computers as a hobby since they don't necessarily have the electronics background to design anything more sophisticated.
This has uses for a university student. Last week I had the option to have 6 pages of cheat sheets during the final exam with the stipulation that all notes were handwritten. I find this rule to be really annoying because if I have the option of my own notes during the exam, it should not matter whether it is handwritten or not.

Anyway, to the creator of this tool: Thank you. I really wish I had known about this before my exam yesterday. This could have saved me hours of time, had I known about it. I will also be bookmarking this for the future, for when the instructors enforce such a rule again.

If Amazon commingles the inventory from unknown supply chains, how can any of it be called "legitimate"?

Does A/UX have a PPP driver ?

You could run NetBSD on your SE/30, it will do PPP (and IPv6).
In fact, I'm pretty sure there's fibre running down the road directly outside the front door of our building. Probably multiple different providers! There's conduits under the footpath and I've seen them threading reels of cable down there late at night.

That said, I'm very happy with 5G. There are some key advantages over fibre:

- Cheap. I pay £30/month with no fixed contract terms. Any fibre around that price is slower and comes with a 12 or 24 month minimum contract.

- Very high reliability. If a cell tower goes down, it will simply switch to another one. At my last flat, the cable internet would seem to go down for 15 or 30 or 60 minutes pretty regularly, perhaps every 1-2 months. And that's just the times I was home and noticed!

- Portability. Wouldn't be much use in a large household, but for personal use it's great that I can just pick up my battery-powered router and take it with me for fast WiFi anywhere. Including roaming around Europe (5G roaming in selected countries!)
The collision shape editor seems quite nice and beginner-friendly indeed, I remember a game developer friend of mine in the old days telling me how many nights he wasted fixing collision boxes. I am humbled by how little of game development I understand but this looks super well crafted.

No, at least in my circles nobody thinks electronic voting is a good idea.

I think Tom Scott has the best argument: you can't build a system that requires you to have a PhD in computer science to fully understand why you should trust it. Every day people need to have faith in voting and not just because a group of experts say they should.
IMHO many function docs could have more examples.

Those are mostly not the case anymore for AMP; the only one that looks correct to me is that AMP documents have to include the AMP runtime. If you wanted to make a pure HTML+CSS page, with no JavaScript, I can't think of any technical reason why the AMP specification couldn't be extended to consider that valid AMP. I think the main question is whether there are many sites that would be interested in serving that way?

For your other points:

* The AMP project is now part of the OpenJS foundation, along with Node, Electron, and others: https://openjsf.org/blog/2020/06/23/openjs-world-day-one-hig...

* AMP is not specific to mobile, though it did start that way; there are sites that serve all of their pages in AMP format to both mobile and desktop users.

And I'd argue that's a far superior model. I go to eBay for a lot of items that I suspect may be graymarket but I'm willing to risk it, specifically BECAUSE I know exactly which seller sold me the thing, and I can go back on them if it's bad, and eBay has pretty good protections for buyers.

I could buy the same goods on Amazon but have none of the traceability or protections.
Many objects are too dim to see with the naked eye even if you were close enough to see them. Even amongst those which are clearly visible, they’d appear quite a bit dimmer than they do in a long exposure photograph.

The Orion Nebula is a good target for grokking the difference. A long exposure photo with a DLSR (which will be blurry if you don’t have tracking) you’ll see lots of color. Through a pair of binoculars, you won’t although you will see the nebula.

I had really hoped that the external GPU thing would takeoff, and give us a good option for gaming on Macs. I bought the dev kit, and it was nothing but a headache, which stopped working at High Sierra too, because they stopped supporting TB2. I'm bitter about it. It really seems like we ought to be "there" by now, but it's starting to look like it will just never be a thing.

Creating a Low Cost Managed Kubernetes Cluster for Personal Development
Here's my take on setting up a managed Kubernetes cluster using Terraform with very low costs using a free(only 1 per account) zonal cluster with preemtible node pools (spot instances) on GKE. I've linked GCP's pricing calculator in the blog post as well(https://cloud.google.com/products/calculator/#id=b3d304a4-11...). A 2vCPU and 8GB RAM node running in a GKE cluster for ~$20.

Hopefully it'll make it easier for people to set up their own experimentation environment for learning Kubernetes since managed Kubernetes is quite pricey otherwise for personal development.

> waterfall process ... keep working on it till it works

I thought waterfall was to plan it out in detail, then do all the work according to the plan despite realizing that the plan is wrong, then finally, after disbanding the development team, test it to see if it works?

That's obviously a caricature, but if you have the feedback loop to see if it works while you're working on it, you might also call it agile.

Why do you need primes? You could just give everyone a number and publish which numbers voted for each candidate. That is effectively equivalent to what you are doing since each total product can be factored into the primes that voted for it anyways.
Agreed. It would be interesting to compare the UPDATE FROM query plan with the equivalent subquery-based update.
Somehow completely ignoring the issue with how the homeless have made many areas of the city uninviting. The pandemic is being exploited by both business and politicians alike to mask underlying issues in hopes of getting a free pass. The old don't look behind the curtain. Protest violence isn't helping any city; and the lie about Federal agents causing it was silences with continued violence long after they left; and the long term change to where people want to live from the confluence of the pandemic, protest violence, and costs, is all coming to haunt our cities.
Yeah, because "extension API" != "easily" as in HTML...
I wonder if it would be possible to distill the "rendering essence" of HTML+CSS, i.e. have a pre-processor that transforms a lot of redundancies / complexities out to just a hierarchy of spans+divs with style attributes.

For a modern browser, the two hierarchies would need to be dynamically linked, but specifying the "view hierarchy" in terms of a (very limited) HTML/CSS subset should yield the advantage that the correctness of the transformation step could still be inspected with a browser?

That episode was a (poor) adaptation of Robert L. Forward's first contact novel "Dargon's Egg". Humanity discovers life on a neutron star, where the intense gravity (billions of gs) enables degenerate matter chemistry where interactions are orders of magnitude faster than in conventional matter.

I highly recommend it.
Actually the UK government has started taking stakes in technology firms where it deems it has a strategic interest. [1]

I can easily see the man now running the UK (Dominic Cummings) deciding to take a stake in ARM. Maybe other ARM customers would also be willing to take (non controlling) stakes to keep it away from Nvidia (Apple of course used to be a big shareholder).

In this system you have to trust that the issuing authority never reuses primes. That seeems like a major downside, and something that is hard to overcome with transparency.
No, no, no. Government should not be in the business of picking winners and losers and this is more about denying someone else that benefiting the whole. Oh its wrapped up in pretty paper with a ribbon on it but the true reason is they don't want "those people" to have it. (being Nvidia but I am certain there are a few more suitors they don't like either)
> Wow that is a long README.md file

My first thought when I entered the page ;-)
That's very inconsiderate and unfortunate. I'm sorry, both for your loss and the recurring reminder.

Please tell both your county and state that she's passed.

Election administration in jurisdictions I studied have data feeds for deaths. Her death certificate and her voter registration details were not properly matched. It happens. Record linking across disparate demographic databases is not perfect.

Generally, but YMMV:

States admin their statewide voter registration (VRDB), with the largest counties co-managing their own subset. Some groups of states share their VRDBs, to better scrub for changes of address and so forth.

County auditors (or equiv) conduct election administration. Like candidate filing, issuing ballots, signature verification, tabulation.

In a perfect world, someone would notice if a postal ballot was signed and dated after your grandma passed.
That’s an equally valid description of it. They have started describing it as a “creation engine” in their own copy.
> This is a ridiculous argument,

It is most certainly not. It is the reason voter secrecy in considered a cornerstone of a legitimate public vote.

There are whole organizations, like the OSCE Election Observation, who audit these sort of things internationally.

> it could just as well apply to mail-in voting

It does, very much so. Every mail-in voting has to take this into account. Any introductory political science course will touch on these things. Commonly this is done by way of a method to override or revoke votes. A mail-in voting system would be problematic if it was the only way to vote. This is the most common objection to electronic voting systems, that it's hard for them to stand on their own.
I guess there are more than one, Google maps send me to Maryland.
Us, obviously. How else would we measure relative velocities?
Whenever I see % increase as a headline you can be confident that its using percentages in order to make a misleading point.

Sure enough a few paragraphs down:

> It should be noted that San Francisco had an unusually low inventory relative to other large cities prior to the pandemic.

Maybe there are a lot of people selling, but you can ignore this particular stat.
I was trying to argue the other direction: Maybe some autists will mistake their acceptance issues as gender dysphoria, thereby leading to a higher trans percentage among autists (which was the main observation from the paper).

As such, I disagree with you that trans and autism are unrelated issues, because the paper measured a correlation. It's just that nobody knows in which direction the effect goes.
Ah that makes sense and sounds good!
If you bought it on Amazon.com and your credit card was charged by Amazon.com, you bought it from Amazon. Consumers shouldn't be concerned with what supplier Amazon gets their inventory from.
> there are forces that want to make it illegal

Yep, in the context of a hate crime. Not standalone. Seems reasonable.

I don't think you read the link you posted. To quote from it

" Speaking for the [Canadian Bar Association], the President, [...] made explicit the protections for transgender people which were already contained in the prohibition on discrimination based on sexual orientation; and did not pose any risk to freedom of expression"

So it's about discrimination, and freedom of expression is not affected. Further

"Peterson argued that the law would classify the failure to use preferred pronouns of transgender people as hate speech. According to legal experts, including law professors Brenda Cossman of the University of Toronto and Kyle Kirkup of the University of Ottawa, not using preferred pronouns would not meet legal standards for hate speech"

So getting him/her wrong is not hate speech, so... problem?

What I'm getting from you is anger+fear, and what I'm not getting is why treating TGs decently bother you so much.
Lovely to see. Congratulations on all the effort you put in. I see, from the github README, that BQN supports trains. I'm curious how far you go with this? Monadic and dyadic forks and hooks à la J?

This is a very real problem in the Eastern Med. as the article points out.

From a Lebanon perspective, people have been talking about tapping into these offshore energy reserves for a decade+. But the inside conversation is that the Lebanese people would never see a penny from any revenues. They would simply get funneled into various politicians pockets.

It seems like many countries would be far better off without this.
Property taxes in California are among the lowest in the nation.

As lightgreen points out in a sibling comment, it's common recently for languages to use a secure randomized hash like siphash and generate different orderings per program execution. It seems like that's the approach more languages should take.
This is a bad take, there are immeasurable numbers of binaries from even Windows 98 or Windows 7 that dont run on Windows 10.
Not everyone has to deal with that though; some have supportive families and social circles. It's like when people say that everyone in the military is a hero, even if they have no idea what the person did in the military. People do the same thing when they call every trans person "brave", even when they don't know their background, and whether or not they face daily struggles due to being trans.

Both the behavior of this extension and the behavior that you describe, however, seem pretty easy to deal with in an automated way?

... seem like two relevant qualifiers to choose BGP over OSPF.

Other than that, being religious about a certain technology seems like a bad mindset to hold on to indeed. When you have a certain scale it starts to make sense to question the efficiency of the primary technology in the market for your specific use case.

Edit: essential qualifier for the mentioned mindset added
Wouldn't this then also be true of LA or San Jose, both mentioned in the article? It feels like you have a politcal axe to grind and came here to the comments before reading the article.
It looks quite neutral for me, perhaps because I'm from Argentina and we don't have any skin in this game. (We have our land and maritime border conflict too. It's a sensitive topic in all the countries. [1])

The article helped me to understand the recent problem. My fast and possible inaccurate takeaway is:

The land shore of Turkey has a lot of nearby Greek islands. If there is oil nearby, that will surely cause a problem.

[1] Let's pick and easy one, the land frontier of Argentina and Chile. The Andes mountain range is in between. One method to select the border is to pick the highest mountains, other method is to look at the water basins. They are very different, so after a lot of problem we selected a mixed method and then added some arbitrary borders for a smaller section. Now it is quite settled, probably because there is not too much oil under the area. Other borders are too boring or too polemic.

In the US there is no standard way of voting. Elections are run by each of the 54 states and territories. Each one of those have varying standards. Within most states the state itself provides certain rules that must be followed but the election is actually overseen by the local government and there may substancial leeway regarding how the locality implements the rules. Within each locality different polling places may use different technologies. I have even been to polling places where there were differing ways to vote within the same location. In general polling places are run by volunteers and each candidate is allowed to have representatives at the polling place.
This comment is logically inconsistent. If the USA's handling of Covid is so awful, then by definition an infected person would get better treatment somewhere else, like Guatemala.
I'm not generally in favour of government picking winners but this is an exceptional case where keeping ARM independent really would 'benefit the whole'. The argument against Nvidia buying is that they are likely boost their own business at the expense of ARM and the wider ecosystem.

It seems perfectly valid for the UK government to step in to protect its most successful technology firm.
It does look pretty tragic at this point. But it’s worth noting that every tech business so far was talked about as if it’s taken over the world, forever, and without 5-10-20 years they were overtaken. IBM, Intel, Microsoft.

I think google is overplaying their hand in many areas, and this will inevitably lead to the downfall of their dominance. Just like most other large businesses in history.
