What do you mean by "BOTH my own sending and the bill sending back to them? When did this happen, and from where?

My last cross-country return was in 2017 for a lens (sold and shipped from amazon) and I had to pay for the shipping myself to amazon.fr from italy. Didn't get a refund for the shipping cost, although the replacement arrived for free. Note that the lens was originally shipped to france. I was substituting for an identical item, which usually gets shipped right away. However, in this case, I had to wait for the return to be processed.

I had the same scenario in 2016, but from germany (shipped to germany, returned to france).

Note that I cannot complain for the service itself. I only had great experiences in return from amazon in general, but your description comes unexpected from me.
It means that they're no longer giving money to anti-LGBT organizations. That's it.
That would depend on the tax regime. In "highest and best use" jurisdictions you'd already be taxed on the potential value of the building, whether you build it or you don't.
I think, the problem with the cloud is that it it's a whole automated network of someone elses computers that employs some idiosyncratic tech to manage them.
I fell into the same over-reaching trap I was critiquing, which is a bit funny, but I agree they could be caused by the same thing and correlated because of that as well.
Money, plus the fact that is have no other useful skills or abilities
Yeah, I would say that understanding conjectures often requires knowing some "background lemmas" in addition to knowing the definitions of the objects used in the definition, for this very reason. As another very simple example it can be shown that you can replace ℕ by the set of integers greater than 3, and the resulting conjecture is equivalent.
How would one even break up Google ? You can only shut it down (which would allow competitors to emerge again).
The only reason for a big mail-in election is a historic exploit of an availability vulnerability of our in-person voting system, that it depends on lots and lots of (in practice, mostly older) people willing to spend a day in close contact with each other and other people for almost no pay.

> And the president is - right now - conducting a denial of service attack on it.

Or at least miming one, perhaps to provide political cover for Republican-governed swing state legislatures, seeing the problems of in-person voting in the pandemic and armed with the telegraphed disruption of vote by mail as cover and polling data as motivation, to simply exercise their prerogative to cancel public voting and assign a set of Presidential electors without it, which the Republican control of the Senate can guarantee withstand any challenge in the electoral vote count.

If he really wanted electoral chaos by disrupting vote-by-mail, there'd by no reason to telegraph it; the reason to telegraph it is because he desires a response that it either provokes or justifies, as much, more than, or perhaps even instead of the disruption itself.
That is a myth, they aren’t separate things. It’s just semantics which are being manipulated for political purposes. Trump, for example, is voting in the election under Florida’s “vote by mail” option because that’s what it’s called there.

that's a luddite argument, it can apply equally to everything that requires trust
This is a good point, I've never really looked much at the breakdown of device popularity by manufacturer.

All the devices I've purchased have been Nexus/Pixel devices, so Chrome is a given there.

I assume at the end of the day Samsung Browser is just a reskinned Blink, though?
It's true that if you define Amazon's market segment to be "all of human commerce" then it doesn't look particularly dominant. But if you applied that sort of standard to monopolies, there would be no antitrust enforcement anywhere.
I think they're just speeding towards the end of time faster than the rest of us.
Pardoning a whistleblower who was just trying to protect the Constitution and help stave off intelligence agencies from spying on everyone a bit less seems like exactly what pardons were created for. What bigger injustice is there than upholding the law of the land and being declared a traitor despite only trying to help save our democracy from autocratic forces?
Bit late in my time and first drum machine I had was the Roland TR707 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_TR-707
Then got a Yamaha RX11 and nice video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIwetbScAtw

Though at that time, people was all drolling over the Linn 9000 marketing, a machine late to market and took even longer to get all the bugs out - never got to play with one, my music era faded away by then. Shame as went from the top to nothing and the Linn Drum kinda pioneered the market https://youtu.be/pWfCYgRW_6k Those Tom drums and other sounds, will sound familiar to so many people of many decades and music styles.

As for best drum machine - really gets down to how you define that, more so what style of music you view it from and era.

though the TR707 for programming, great interface and one that holds over time for ease of use and results.
In any worthwhile system of ethics, willfully ignoring very reasonable doubts about the provenance of something is itself unethical, separately from what was done by others. Similarly, it is unethical in itself to take advantage of another’s indifference to a third party’s rights in order to do to that third party something they would object to.

As for the question of what the platforms can do, it is simple: treat third parties as if they have refused permission. There’s nothing difficult about it once you filter out the self-serving attitude of the platforms. This has nothing to do with what’s “sexy” and everything to do with what’s right.
Only for the record, there is something very similar that may happen when creating CD/DVD's (please read when using mkisofs and similar), with the "dash" that when "capital" becomes underscore (but not only ) depending on the reference ISO 9660/Joliet/RockRidge convention in use.

Sometimes it's the same people - yes, people have contradictions, what a surprise!
I see parent’s general point being that some people work in p2p mode, whatever the medium is.

Here facebook is the tool, but what matters to them is not to get random info through the feed. It’s to ask people and hear what people have to say, often very close people (family, friend, real world connections). In this respect messaging could be the main use actually.

This is the equivalent of some of our parents who wouldn’t open the phone book to find some garagist when they have car issues. They’d phone a friend and ask them for recommendations.
It's the illusion of safety. There is no facility for identity verification baked into blockchain. You have integrity for the data allowed on the chain but if you let Russian hackers write to it, it undermines the whole thing. Personally I'd rather go with a PKI system that offers non-repudiation.
The point is that individuals with high BMI and low body fat are rare in the general population, and can be ignored as statistical noise in most broad scientific studies. Your circles would only be relevant for studies specifically targeting body builders.
As a result the same reportoire of stamped complaints is repeated over and over. This is a well-noted problem of HN comments section and treating this as a feature doesn't bode well.
Absolutely. The whole constellation of diminished brain function and obesity brings to mind a hibernation switch that is getting turned on. Perhaps further research will elucidate the biochemical pathway that is active in these patients and allow us to put people into ‘suspended animation’ for long space voyages. “ You have to eat 2 lbs of spaghetti and a gallon of ice cream a day for a month before going to mars in your sleep couch”
I'm not being silly and it's easy to see why. The differences between taxation of otherwise-identical buildings are already much more than 50%, because of Proposition 13. There are similar buildings on my block where the tax bills differ by more than an order of magnitude. Does this have any effect on the rents? It does not. The house paying $2000/year commands as high a rent as does the house paying $20000/year.
This was the idea behind XSL (and DSSSL before that). You transform semantic markup into a pure presentation format. By moving the transformation to the server you can have all the complexity of selectors, rules, inheritance, cascade etc resolved on the server and have the browser just receive low-level rendering instructions.

Of course you can't have any form of dynamic HTML and accessibility would go out the windows.
When I grew up in the 90s and 00s, I think McD/Burger King/Wendy’s/Subway and similar fast food joints all dropped their quality to animal feed levels to try and outcompete each other on low price.

I haven’t and still won’t eat at those places, but that allowed Chipotle/Chick Fil A/other higher priced places to move in that offered edible food (at least in the areas that had people who could afford it).
People underestimate the impact that domain-specific nerds have on society.

Drum/sampling machines are an example. A simple tool, created by tech hackers, put in the hands of a sound hacker, created an entire genre of music.

But with absentee voting, the votes are still counted by hand. That's the part that has to be the most secure. With any paper voting system, votes can be impacted by some criminal scheme, yes, but only one at a time and with great individual effort. You have to blackmail a LOT of people to swing an election. Whereas with an electronic election, one attacker can change millions of votes with a single bit of malware code, with nobody the wiser.
Yes, that makes more sense and I think that's a valid point, thanks.

To be fair I thought you meant that it couldn't be kept secret from a global view - that anyone who wanted could look at the blockchain and attach votes to identities.

In most elections the number of absentee ballots is so small as to be statistically irrelevant. I'm not even certain absentee ballots are always counted because of this, winners are surely announced and concession speeches are made long before absentee ballots are counted. So whatever security/intimidation issues might be higher in absentee ballots aren't that big of a deal due to the small number of them. That may be changing this election with wide spread/universal mail in balloting.
I did not downvote but timezones, culture, language, skills, etc. are all reasons that companies will not automatically gravitate to the lowest cost areas. Many large companies in tech have global presences that have not resulted in them offshoring all their jobs.

That said, I do expect you see a decrease in premiums being paid for high CoL areas to the degree that living there becomes an employee lifestyle choice and a rise for tech workers in low CoL areas who can work remotely. I expect you end up somewhere in the middle.
Me too in agreement. NVIDIA got interested in ARM after the launch news of Japan Supercomputer. They want to suppress, I think.. as it's bad for their business. (Twice faster than First Supercomputer ) ...
I use the MPK mini which just feels unnatural compared to a "real" synth. But of course it is way more flexible and sometimes the right tool for the job.
Yeah, I looked into buying batteries on Amazon. Prices seemed too good to be true. After reading some reviews, I confirmed that.

But I would imagine if you got in early enough, there weren't any negative reviews. There's definitely something wonky with how they aggregate reviews.

I see now Amazon has their own brand of battery. Presumably they don't have this problem. It's actually a pretty disgusting tactic: competitor brands are untrustworthy because of how Amazon handles inventory rather than the actual quality of the product.

I wonder what Amazon would do if you tried to sell your own Amazon batteries on their website.
And, on the converse, maybe a certain political party would have a chance to win the Midwest and the South if everyone on the coasts didn't think the Midwest and the South was a conservative hellscape and... oh what am I saying, they'd all move to the big cities, which are gerrymandered into impotency when it comes to setting policy and choosing who runs the damn state.

(god I am so glad that Louisiana managed to go into this pandemic with a DINO governor, it would have been even worse with someone licking Trump's bootheels setting policy)

nVidia already makes CPUs and GPUs (they make the CPU that goes into the Nintendo Switch, for example). Buying ARM doesn’t change much in that regard, except that they can save on licensing fees and it puts them in a position to disrupt competitors who also produce ARM processors.
I wonder if mobile Safari domination is partly because iOS apps themselves use "Safari" when displaying webpages. If I tap an article using the Octal HN app, it opens in an internal "browser view" that is just an instance of Safari.
The other places also franchise locations so there is another middleman looking to make money, which of course has to come from food quality either by way of ingredients or lower employee pay.
The initial shipping cost to me and then the return shipping from me to them (plus the cost of the goods).
In my case all the shipments were outside Germany, and the returns were from the same country originally shipped to. All the returns were back to Germany.

Edit: However, they should tell you in advance (before you order) if you will have to pay if you decide to return your order. If they don't tell you that you must pay for your return, the trader will have to pay for it. You don't have to pay any other charges that you were not informed of. [0]

Eh, the article is about threats to the web as an information resource not controlled by one company. I don't think it's a distraction to put it in context.

Although I guess it becomes one when that becomes like the bulk of what HN viewers see in the first few screens of comments. I guess it could be argued we should have more discipline in HN comments because of the affordances. But that applies to replies to the comment turning it into a big thread of different opinions too, if you just left it alone/non-controversial, it wouldn't do that.
The PPP protocol isn't very complicated, how easy it would be to add to a binary-only UNIX is another question. You could have a look for whether the A/UX network stack is from BSD or System V. One thing that would make a big difference is whether it supports STREAMS [1].

Agreed. Breadth of discussion is important, but engaging in whataboutism and not being able to define a target is a great way to never change anything.

> The land shore of Turkey has a lot of nearby Greek islands.

The problem is that the concept of a "Greek" community precedes the creation of any concept of "Turkish" community by several centuries at best (even 2 millennia, by some calculations). So Greeks are historically entitled to read that situation as "the Greek islands and coastal colonies have a lot of nearby Turkish land". And then you find Atatürk's ethnic cleansing. And then you realize this shit is complicated.

Political geography is entangled in history, which is why it's such a mess.
Aha, it’s an ontological question. Most mathematicians believe that numbers, sets, etc don’t exist in the world we live in, but exist in a special world called “Platonic world”. That’s what Platonism in philosophy of mathematics is about.
I realize you are being sarcastic, but:

> Your social security number will make a perfectly fine secret key!

Never in its history was it a secret key anymore than your drivers license number, it’s an ID number that can be used to look you up in a DB like a username would be.

The problem is, that despite everyone just instinctively knowing a username needs to be paired with a password (or ideally multiple factors, but that isn’t as universal in understanding yet), no such thing exists currently to pair with your social security number.
The Coq community is here to say that that claim is not true for most of math. Much false or weakly argued math is published and accepted. Mathematics is done only to the level of "reasonable doubt"

Use Edge instead of Chrome. If Edge's market share increases at the expense of Chrome then eventually Microsoft will have equal control over Chromium.

The Shocking Story of Approved Killing in Mississippi (1956)
There's already a few cryptotokens that allow voting on maintenance of said cryptotokens (or affiliated ones) would these not invalidate such a patent?

Edit:

On another side, what if we did use Blockchain to supplement votes in a different approach. I have not yet looked at how other Cryptotokens handle voting on policies but say we distribute to each state enough tokens per their legal citizen population, and voting places use a single token per voter, maybe a code is attached to their ballot (maybe a district code, only identifying their region?), this in turn pushes the vote into the blockchain for a permanent record, then when all the manual / machine counting is done we compare the blockchain results to see who screwed up, but it would also allow for a slightly more live view of voting in real-time.
I know some postal workers due to a family relationship. They've had sorting machines removed, but said personal and business mail has actually been increased since March... So it appears, from an n=3, that "declining mail volume" is untrue.

The real problem though is not preserving the rich-text-ness of the quoted message when replying, and the inability to have inline images. I use Outlook at work and mutt for private email. Using mutt at work just wouldn’t be practical, as the text markup and inline images are often critical to the exchange.

On a related note, while I love the UX of mutt, I do find proportional fonts to be significantly more readable than fixed-width fonts for paragraphs of natural-language text.

NYC nor any other major city will die from this.

10,000 people want to leave NYC on a Facebook group? NYC has what, 8 million people?

Half the article is talking about the kind of fears that watching the local news will get you. You think Phoenix doesn’t have any homeless people? You think people don’t get shot occasionally in Phoenix? New York City is literally statistically safer for murder per capita than many of these smaller cities.

I think the author over-emphasizes how much bandwidth will keep all work remote, too. Sure, it’ll work for some tech jobs, but the narrative that productivity has increased across the board is not backed up by convincing numbers. Only about half the country works a “desk job” from my understanding.

I know for me, personally, as soon as it’s safe to go back to the office, I’m doing it. I’m tired of subsidizing my employer’s need for real estate. I want my kitchen table back. But I know that’s a personal anecdote.

The 1918 pandemic didn’t mean that NYC died and I don’t see how this one is very different.

Mark my words, we won’t be talking about COVID-19 in 2025.
