I've had nothing but good experience with Amazon over the past 10 years. Very few problems but when there is, it's a few minutes to get a replacement or refund immediately, including complicated scenarios like promos, out of date returns, and warranty claims.

I must not be the only one with good experiences if they're doing so well. Then again I also check to make sure I'm buying direct from Amazon and reading the most recent verified purchaser reviews for any expensive items.

However this ruling needs clarity since Ebay would also qualify, especially since they also handle payments now instead of using Paypal, and potentially Shopify as well.

EDIT: what are people disagreeing with?
Memory cards / thumbdrives are the canonical example here, I think. The fakes are plentiful, and comingling ensures that you are playing roulette every single time you purchase one, and the fakes are good enough that they'll stand up to visual scrutiny unless you know exactly what you're looking for, and sometimes not even then.

I couldn't agree more Henry!
Why would they leave CA? They would just remove 3rd-party sellers and implement higher standards if/when they allow them again. FBA sellers don't get to sell anything they want, you have to get ungated first per category.

I’m not sure where you’re from, but this is just simply not correct. I have never been in that group and I know lots of people who regularly use that phrase. It’s a fundamental colloquialism.
Yes, I understand that, that's why I'm asking not if such a thing is _possible_ but whether it is even remotely _likely to exist_, given what we know about the universe, how galaxies and stars came to exist, etc.

That is, in order for something to have this immense energy in our frame of reference, that something (or Earth) would have to get that energy somewhere. What I'm asking, essentially, is how likely is it that such conditions would exist at some point?

While not a warning by default, it does inform (IDE0058) in the editor. placing dotnet_diagnostic.IDE0058.severity = warning in your .editorconfig will promote it.
gmail is such a huge regression from mutt (or even pine or elm).

I rank the email experience of gmail on par with /bin/mail. It's that useless.

I use mutt as an IMAP client for gmail when I can, that works mostly ok. At current $DAYJOB they only allow gmail web client which is a complete disaster of unusability.

So I mostly just zoom or slack people since gmail is so useless.

gmail is email written by those who have never used a proper email client and don't really care about email anyway.

(gmail came out in 2004 - got the tshirt from the launch.)
I'd suggest looking into https://mailinabox.email/
There’s heaps of scam ads on YouTube, or sponsor spots on videos promoting scams but YouTube doesn’t care.

So I doubt even if Google had the ability to report them they would care.
While agreeing, I'm even more worried that the "taboola shit" seems to gain lots of clicks even on reputable sites. Out of curiosity I followed a few of them, and most of the time the linked content is the cheapest "content" look-a-like possible - still a lot of users appear to click.

I wonder if there are any studies regarding shallow content and its apparent appeal.

I'm more just pointing out the fact that this is currently trending. Eventually the pool of needed teachers will get saturated and it will no longer be profitable to create your own series unless you have some teaching edge.

Solving a problem with technology does solve the initial problem, but at the same time it introduces new ones.

There has been a naïve belief that the Internet would be an all-positive force, which it is not. For instance, we used to have a constant lack of information, now there is information overflow. Content consumption used to be synchronous (people watched the same broadcasts, live), now content consumption is asynchronous.

The problem is that our old tools and concepts to navigate the world around us don't work in this new era anymore, not that the development in itself is inherently bad. Real problems have been solved.
> He asks as few questions as possible and intentionally doesn’t steer the conversation

Do you have videos of the whole process? I've only seen his YouTube videos and it couldn't be further from what you said. There are so many cuts that there is no way to tell what questions the people are answering

In the rocket launch video for example we don't even get to hear most questions, we mostly hear people talking, they're obviously answering something the interviewer said but we don't know what it is. The entire video is making fun of the worst people he could find there, it's very funny for sure but I wouldn't call it journalism.

It's clearly more of a comedy than pure journalism to me, a bit like "Joe goes", funny but not very informative

They have made it even more difficult for open-source to be able to reverse engineer their drivers with signed firmware blobs, push their own solution on Wayland, (ELStreams), over everyone else adopting GBM etc. - in short they refuse to cooperate in an official capacity.

Both Intel and AMD do have an official FLOSS Linux driver and regularly work with the wider community.

Unis have been in a bubble for decades - what they sell is no longer worth the price tag. COVID seems to be a catalyst for this. But even with MOOCs and bootcamps, there isn't anything that replaces a university as a certification body.

Going to MIT and following a MITx class, you can learn roughly as much, but the person who went to MIT is still far more certified. The difference is so big that MITx, which is free, might even act as a sales funnel to MIT.
Oil Companies Wonder If It’s Worth Looking for Oil Anymore
I'm not sure what you are implying. That it is hard? It is only a single line added to the `mailcap` file:

text/html; firefox '%s' &; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"; needsterminal;

After that's in place, you simply open attachments (via `view-attachments`) and call `view-attach` (usually via a key binding) on the HTML attachment.
AFAIK that's recent.
Off the top of my head, Go and goroutines are built around message-passing as well. And Scala/Java with Akka seems pretty well-established at this point too - although it'll likely never have as broad support as something built into the language like Elixir and Go has.
> The more we build the body of research on top of obviously flawed studies like this, the harder it is for serious researchers and lawmakers to take it seriously.

I agree that what should be called "research" should adhere to the highest standards and actively seek to avoid biases.

But generally (not specifically about this psychedelics study), it's OK for us to act upon imperfect, biased information. The absence of a rigorous proof that something works, does not mean it doesn't work. The presence of an imperfect proof is enough to increase the probability of a positive outcome.
Clever, but it's not very easy to read or understand intuitively, so I wouldn't rate it very high as a logo.

git checkout isn't designed to revert files. It's designed to allow you to check out a particular version of a file without changing the branch you're on.

"Reverting a file" is a higher level concept you can build on top of that, but that's not the fault of git checkout. Also arguably to truly revert a file you'd have to follow it up with a git commit.

I would also point out that recent versions of git have added a git switch subcommand because of some of these complaints.
My research was around "behavioural causality." The simple way to put it is: any human behaviour can be explained by a core motivation (4 of them) and driving emotion (8 of them). Just as all the music is made with just a handful of notes, the same way no matter how complex a behaviour, it's just a combination of these 2 factors. Of course it's a bit more complicated, but that's the gist of it.

Now, let's say you want to use this for advertising: if you know the equation behind the decision to adopt a product, then you can put in you ad the right copy (i.e. stimuli for the required emotion). People who are ready to switch will feel understood.

Happy to share more if it's relevant to you.

Agreed, with a caveat: on non-Google pages. Google is actively slowing down their pages on Firefox (or at least heavily optimizes them, but just on Chrome - which is the same).
CSS was supposed to work like that - a user style sheet can override the site stylesheet (which in turn override the built-in browser stylesheet).

Of course this assumes users are competent designers. I think reader mode and similar is a much better solution to the problem.
My bad. Thanks for pointing this out!
All blockchain (and electronic for that matter) voting systems are inherently bad because they are not easy to verify.

Nothing beats pen and paper in verifiability and ease of use. If done right with many eyes on the ballots, manipulation requires thousands of co-conspirators. The only downside is the slow speed.

i bet it would also work with that apple se / raspberry pi combo also in today's top page.
It's definitely not an orm, as it was stolen from c# linq.

Imo this is actually much better than an orm because it really hits home that the data in memory are stale as soon as you receive them because database transactions are explicit, and not hidden behind getters and setters.

ORMs can get you into trouble because they try really hard to hide the problem of distributed state and sources of truth.

> I recall the GeForce Partner Program raised some controversy, although I couldn't say whether or it was bad or good or why.

It was about NVidia wanting to make it so their 3rd party GPU partners, (EVGA, Asus etc.), could only sell their popular GPU brands with NVIDIA in them, so for AMD they'd have to come up with something customers are entirely unfamiliar with.

> here's also the issue with them refusing to open source Linux drivers.

It's not just that. AMD didn't open-source their original Linux driver, presumably there could have been some 3rd party licensing issues, but they wrote a new one that is open-source.

NVIDIA doesn't even let others write an open-source driver for them, they make it purposely difficult to reverse-engineer, sign their firmware that they only release with a massive delay and generally refuse to cooperate.

Interestlingly, the universe does have a preferred velocity (and thus a preferred inertial frame). It's the speed and direction that makes the cosmic background radiation not have a dipole.

> Nothing wrong with a system where the infrastructure is a regulated utility and ISPs can use it.

Or, alternately, ISPs could continue to own the infrastructure but be required to allow other ISPs to rent or pay for passage on their last mile infrastructure.

That seems to be the greatest point of contention smaller ISPs have. Getting a backbone connection seems relatively easy, but duplicating the existing telephone pole cabling and drops into people's houses seems to be very capital intensive.

There's no reason for every ISP to have their own cables on telephone lines. Unless I'm fundamentally misunderstanding how those connections work (which is very possible).

> Why is someone making a diagram? If someone has to 'get out the whiteboard' to answer simple tooling questions, then there are added levels of abstraction - which could be fine - but why on earth is that necessary?

It's an inherent aspect of distributed version control that the history of your repository forms a graph, and therefore drawing diagrams can be helpful.

Please take the following as the friendly advice it's meant to be: the fact that you even ask this question will suggest to every advanced user of DVCS that you really don't understand what you're talking about. Which is fine, if you have the humility to accept it and improve.

None of those other systems have solid failure-domain oriented programming baked in. Let's say there's a netsplit and you want your connection to bring down two other processes that depend on it, self-heal when the netsplit is resolved, and not have any other resources associated with the process leak (memory, file descriptors, resource pools, database connections, etc). This is like maybe two lines of elixir/erlang.
The government assures us[1] that the strategy was not motivated by economic considerations. Taking them at their word and judging it by the stated objective of curbing the pandemic and protecting people's health, it has been a colossal failure from the start.

Also, with Taiwan's current total[2] of 7 deaths, for them to "be the same as Sweden" there would have to be 13 000 deaths in the second wave. Unless the CDC initiates an exchange program to swap their experienced staff for Sweden's bumbling incompetents, that doesn't seem likely.

Ada Rapporteur Group (Arg) Meeting Minutes
Similar results, without any psychological approach, are in a meat processing industry safety guide: https://www.ekas.ch/download.php?id=7869

The cover page says "accidents are not happenstance". ("Unfall – kein Zufall!")

p.8 shows the strong correlation between workplace safety scores and accident rate.

p.19 ranks various safety measures from most effective to least, with a mnemonic "STOP" that works also in english.

S - (most effective) Substitution. Use completely different processes or materials so the safety issue can't occur.

T - Technical measures. Make the workplace safe for the worker (via "idiotproofing")

O - Organisational measures (education, safety rules and checks)

P - (least effective) Personal protective measures. Rely on the worker to make the workplace safe. (via their own efforts and equipment)

With that in mind, I'd say TFA wants to observe that T is more effective than P, adding a pyschological interpretation.
There's not one Roman style and there were wild variations across different eras. I'll skip the archaic and early Republican stuff because it's either too rough or derivative to be called specifically « Roman ».

Late Republican busts are assumed to be very realistic. My understanding is that they're largely derived from mortuary masks made for the cult of ancestors that was prevalent at the time.
It's obviously impossible to say how accurate they were without direct comparison to remains, but busts from that era show aging and « ugly » traits prominently.

The Imperial era with its state-sponsored cult of personality started the trend towards idealism. Defects were smoothed out, people represented at their best and efforts were made to have them impersonate attitudes and virtues.
The busts of the Pax Romana remain highly individualized and it's easy to tell a character from another, even though they always looks somewhat too good.

It started getting weird with the Third Century Crisis, the Empire breaking up and the Tetrarchy. Portraiture became abstracted to the point it was more about representing the office that the person occupying it. Look up the sculpture of the Tetrarchs that's in Venice or the Colossus of Constantine, they're well known examples.

Being a good fit for Christianity, that's the style that continued into the Middle Ages, and the reason why people assume that artists became terrible in « the Dark Ages ».

> Even if you let a process crash in the BEAM, but you don't leave the system in a consistent, recoverable state, the BEAM is not going to help you.

The thing is, the default in the beam is that on crash you are in a recoverable state (file descriptors are closed, memory is freed). You have to work hard to not have that be the situation.

Other languages do not do this for you, and make you manage state back to recoverability with potentially confusing unwinding of stack state.

But this is a very cool idea: combining the USPS vote-by-mail infrastructure with a blockchain layer that sits on top, used mainly to provide anonymous provenance. We'll see if this ever gets implemented, but I think it's a great example of the non-hype uses for blockchains being explored.
