Amazon feels to me just a place that continues to exist because of its name recognition. Most of the stuff doesn't even come from Amazon's own warehouses anymore.
I seem to recall Flash being developed well before HTML5 along with ActiveX components and Java applets? People have been trying to embed "native like apps" into web pages for a long time, they certainly weren't just satisfied with plain html pages.

Lack of effort? I wrote the FT piece referenced in CNBC's reporting, regarding the 20,000 fake reviews. While the reviews have been taken down, there doesn't seem to have been any repercussions for the companies. All the products are still live... complete with other suspect reviews (just from users not specifically highlighted by our report).

Amazon could do a lot more. I've just opened up Telegram to see what's happening in the scam review groups today, and within seconds I can see that this wifi range extender is being boosted by paid-for positive reviews: https://www.amazon.com/Extender-Wodgreat-Wireless-Repeater-I...

(The 5-star reviews on that page confirm the theory).

If I can do that, on a Sunday morning, from my home... why isn't Amazon?

What if they just use the provisions in the fundamental law that allow changing the structure or terms of government?

A state can either have a thanatocracy in which the dead dictate the details of government to the living, or it can have process by which even the fundamental law can be changed. If it has the latter, that process can, within the preexisting democratic system, be used to terminate democracy without anyone exceeding the power allowed in law.
I'm having trouble squaring the things you've said at this point. You commented earlier with

> The writer says "CapsLock is useless... remap". I have seen that statement a lot of times, and I deeply feel it wrong. That means the author hasn't been properly trained at typing.

If the capslock key is obselete, why is it wrong to remap it? Why would remapping an obselete key indicate improper training? Perhaps the author was trained properly on a different system, or had the same training as you but has since adapted.

I get that it's part of your muscle memory and you'd prefer to keep using an obselete key, but why say it's wrong for others to not use the capslock key?

Well it was also because 1900s Europe couldn't seem to stop causing major wars with itself that pulled in the US and other countries. So this policy was also to rein in Germany permanently, in parallel with economically integrating Germany more closely with Europe to reduce incentives for militarism.

How are differences in identity and values not the objective of diversity?

[edit] First comment on HN and thought I should add more context so it doesn’t sound like a rhetorical question. I’m asking because one of the values you refer to in the article is diversity and how it can be a uniting value among those who espouse it. I understand that to mean valuing differences among people, so I’m asking sincerely if the fact that we coexist with people of all varieties of identities and values fulfills one of the objectives of diversity. If I’m misunderstanding something, happy to be corrected.

First, I don't agree with your statement that the market / consumers are unable to decide.

Second, you should have a real think about where you want regulation to have ability to dictate what people can do. Energy efficiency is an area where people both 1) don't have clear info from manufacturers, and 2) it leaves a mess for others to clean up.

Owning something that is designed in a way that causes it to have a lower resale price later is not such an area.

While Russian is common it's not ubiquitous. Latvia is 26.9% ethnically Russian and 34% speak it at home. 27% of students are partially instructed in Russian. A referendum to adopt Russian as a 2nd offical language was voted against in 2012.

Lithuania is 5.8% Russian with 39% speaking it as a foreign language.

I recently tried to answer the same question for myself when I wanted to figure out what color palette to use in my game. Basically the idea is that you can divide the 360 degree hue into even sections and get colors from that. Put different luminosities in the mix and set same saturation of everything, and you've got yourself a beautiful palette with tons of coherent colors.

I haven't found a tool that would help generating such palettes, so I built one for myself, feel free to use it:

Forcing people to accept dead trees is a silly solution to this problem.

There are real issues in the credit card system, including:
1) huge cost of credit card transactions (they are about
2) lack of privacy options
3) disproportionate burden of credit card fees on the poor (the rich get great rewards, which is a kickback from credit card companies).

The number one thing that could be done to make things better is to force credit card fees to be borne visibly and directly by customers at all times. This would force people to generally seek lower cost options.

The number two thing would be to ensure there is a standard for any competing card network to come along and plug in.

With these two things, you would ensure low cost processing options and the ability to compete on privacy features.
Does angling offer any benefit?
But it's not in exchange for "a review", it's in exchange for a 5-star review. If the review isn't 5-stars, the person doesn't get their money.

Do you feel like you bought, and thus own, something which you were surprised was designed to maximize integration for minimal size? I mean, it might not be what you want, but doesn't Apple explicitly state that like everywhere?
I was taught that when the Germans invaded, there were industrial cities in the Soviet Union that had been created after World War 1 that weren't even on the German maps at the time of the invasion, the Germans didn't know the extent of Soviet industrialization in the inter-war period. Is that all false?
I think there's a lot of misunderstanding about right to repair... or maybe it just means different things to different people.

It's one thing to make a machine that is difficult to repair - like removing the screen to get to the battery. The real problem is when a company won't provide replacement parts and have patented the parts to eliminate third party manufacturers. The laws around the auto industry got it pretty much right - if the manufacturer mandates that you use a specific part, then they must make it available, and I believe they have to stock replacement parts for 20 years or something reasonable like that. It doesn't mean it's necessarily easy to make the repair (ever do transmission work?).
So then your claim is that Apple has market power because they can charge higher prices than "competitors" and still do more business. I was confused, I thought you meant to be arguing that they weren't a trust?

Sorry, but this comment is misinformed.

The federal government, and specifically the "Intelligence Community," (which for the record is all the 3-letter agencies you can name and then some), are already large customers of AWS, with previous contracts. So to claim that the government is a Microsoft shop in the cloud sense is diametrically wrong.
I would guess between $600-$800 USD. Keep in mind Creality printers are kits so you do have to assemble them yourself. Not too difficult, but definitely a learning curve on your first printer. YouTube and Reddit help a lot, though.
Yes! This is techy and certainly not everyone "cup of tea" - most people would run a mile. But everyone is learning to remotely control a powerful server on the Internet ...which I think is cool and empowering.

I really like Habitica, but like so many productivity apps, you can't nest tasks into arbitrarily deep hierarchies. To me, that's a completely essential feature. You can have sub-tasks, if I recall correctly, but only one level deep. There are so many great task management related tools which are missing this one critical feature, not sure why it isn't more common.

You have quite a negative view of immigration. It works well for many people (while for others it doesn't).
Children are quite adaptable. The West is long ago not 100% white and it's only gonna become more pronounced the coming decades. It's mixed. Whites will become the minority in U.S and the UK in the coming decades. It's not that different in West Europe, Canada, Australia, etc.
Overall it's a good trend for immigrants.
Those children you describe may have a few rough episodes in their upbringing, but won't they have more rough episodes growing up in Belarus? Some proportion is needed.

I think the TOR browser does a lot more than just run a browser through TOR. It uses Firefox's built-in fingerprint counter-measures; it spoofs the user agent; it starts using specific window dimensions to counter resolution fingerprinting; and many more things that I am probably not aware of. Running a random browser through the TOR network does not really anonymize you from the myriad number of ways a website can fingerprint you, and the TOR browser / Firefox go to some lengths to protect you from those things too. I think Google, being an advertising company, would have a conflict of interest in providing that same level of anonymity.

I work in a very polyglot environment, and doing "everything properly with libraries" would mean duplicating code from language 1 to language 2 and possibly language 3 and 4 over and over again for zero benefit. Far from being "hacky" to call out to other programs, let's write the program only once, and have easy ways to glue to results of different programs together regardless of what language they might have been written in.

I am just learning about tcl today and am seriously considering replacing bash with it. Lack of quoting is looking very elegantly done in tcl, because of the way it handles {} and...it's not a scope, it's a single string argument. You can manipulate the string argument as a string, and you ultimately still know exactly whether you have space separated arguments or a single string because the grouping is explicit.

Tcl does not do automatic expansion on glob patterns unless explicitly requested with `glob`. Where bash might end up dynamically changing a space separated argument into two arguments when it gets passed around, tcl will give you a type failure for the equivalent scenario because the arguments do not fit the command given.

The ease of metaprogramming feats is really feeling incredibly LISPy, but without all the verbosity that turns me off from LISP...and with easy access to any commands in the host shell. That means LISPy control over a polyglot language context.

Consider:

puts "Hello world!"
# Hello world!

proc say {word msg} {puts "$word $msg!"}
say Hello world
# Hello world!

set greeting "Hello"
proc say$greeting {msg} {
say [uplevel {set greeting}] $msg
}
sayHello world
# Hello world!

set pyScript {
print "Python"
}
sayHello [exec python << $pyScript]
# Hello Python!

set nodeScript {
console.log("Node")
}
sayHello [exec node << $nodeScript]
# Hello Node!

I know this doesn't look this special, and basically just looks like doing normal bash stuff. But-

- there's no special handling you need to do with the scripts that need an outside interpreter,

- super easy to build these interactively within your tclsh, you can do macro-like actions on any of this very easily,

- you can send functions "from whatever language" around as arguments (and augment them) totally painlessly and not need to worry about syntax issues outside of the normal language context. You're either "inside" a UTF-8 encoded {} or you are not (in which case you are in the tcl context).
As measured in MPGe. I had to look it up.

I don't disagree with this; I do wonder however if this is more related to the black-market nature of this drug. Aka, inconsistent 'manufacturing' processes, etc. Meaning if it were legal and had a process in place to assure the correct chemical composition, if that would still happen.

Thinking about this further - have bad trips been observed in clinical studies where the the LSD was created in a controlled, ideal lab setting?

Would be interesting to know if this was or wasn't the case; could indicate a bad trip is an unavoidable potential side-effect, or if it is a specific reaction to poorly created LSD.
Something I want from a store is curation. I want them to do the hard work of evaluating whether the product is worthy of the customer's money.

Exactly what ffpip said. The TOR browser does much more than just run your traffic through TOR to counter website fingerpriting, and Google being an advertising company, I see a conflict of interest to provide you with the anonymity that the Firefox-based TOR browser currently provides.
Categorically untrue. Apple only respects this if you are the first purchaser. Any electronics recycler who has obtained Apple devices legally, as their 2nd or 3rd or Nth owner, has no avenue to unlock them.
Strictly speaking, can you even have any exchange of value without a third party, though? The money has to come from somewhere at first - the government, or in the case of gold, a third party who dug it up. I think your argument is ad reductio.

Without third parties who exchange money for something, money itself cannot exist. So the concept of money "strictly without any third party at all" doesn't make much sense.
I could point to a giant copper rod being used to carry 15 amps and exclaim “you know that’s a 5 megawatt connector, right?” and it would be the same as what you are doing here.

It doesn’t matter what the potential max capacity of something you plug in is. The breakers on the supply are the limiting factor (they should trip before anything down-line exceeds service).

A toaster has a super high max capacity when you throw it in the bathtub. Doesn’t mean plugging in a toaster is dangerous.

>Despite the authoritarian rule of Alexander Lukashenko, Belarus’s tech companies have prospered.

The common argument I hear is they prospered because of authoritarian rule. Belarus never had to deal with oligarchs created by a power vacuum like in Ukraine or other EE countries. As a result a large portion of outsourcing labor for other EE countries is technically done through Belarussian companies(EPAM).
"States rights" is a phrase that carries a lot of historical baggage, but not only is there nothing inherently wrong with the concept, there's a lot of merit to decentralization/subsidiarity. It's a core principle of the European Union. Switzerland, one of the most prosperous nations on the planet, runs on decentralization, or "states rights".
