There is no best method of faux cheese - it depends on your usecase.

That said, I do agree that cashew is extremely versatile.
I've started to read only one star reviews and look for patterns and dates. If a bunch of people 2 years ago had a bad batch of broken product that's fine, but not last month.
> "I've killed more trees writing out the work for these problems than anyone should reasonably have to."

Lol... so true. Some procedures take forever. Like finding the eigenvectors of a 3x3 matrix, for example. First the eigenvalues calculation, then for each eigenvalue there is a nullspace problem. Some trees will be hurt for sure!
I wonder if providing additional data would help people understand the review distribution more easily at a glance. Something like a Net Promoter Score, kind of like Steam's binary thumbs-up/thumbs-down, would add a useful additional vector of information. Not remove stars & reviews though, the nuance in 2,3,4 star reviews is still useful.
There are about half a dozen different, similar apps that all came out around the same time (I have one as well). I've done a lot of research on all of them and none of them are copies of any of the others. They all have pretty unique implementations.

Sure, but that works for a game where you can release it once and then everyone consumes it.

Languages are ecosystems. They have tools, and libraries, and shims to integrate with other tools. They need evangelism. They grow with community involvement. As far as I know, no one has ever released a new language that was perfect in its initial release - there has always been feedback and syntax quirks that get addressed in future versions.

If a "0.1" compiler with warts was out there for people to play with and improve on, I'd have faith. But if you can't get a demo that you're willing to share within 5+ years, then I have very little faith you'll ever release anything, and absolutely zero faith that you'll be able to compromise your mental idea of perfection enough to build a thriving community around a product.
The TMDS signals are a little too fast to implement in breadboarded logic, but DVI/HDMI are pretty easy to implement on an FPGA, especially if you restrict the colors used.

I've been an Amazon customer for 15 years. Have literally bought $50,000+ worth of stuff from them. In other words: rock solid reputation.

Amazon has deleted even my critical reviews. Go figure.
Of note:

- Despite the scope of this fraud, it didn't alter the election outcome.

- The bi-partisan checks and balances failed because the Republican party had insufficient strength in the areas of Chicago where the fraud occurred.

- They got caught.

- This was 40 years ago. It was novel for the FBI to use computers at the time to detect irregularities.

In the states that Trump is currently contesting, the GOP controls either the legislature or the legislature and the Governorship. The GOP isn't going to let any precincts go unwatched in these states.

Fraud isn't impossible, it's just impossible at a scale to change an election outcome and get away with it, especially the presidential election.

One thing I find interesting is that one of the measures the GOP regularly calls for, voter IDs, wouldn't have prevented the fraud that occurred in Chicago in 1982. Meanwhile, the sorts of measures that would've prevented that fraud (bi-partisan administration of the voting process) don't suppress the vote.
It's on Amazon.com and I'm charged by Amazon. Therefore, as far as I'm concerned, I bought it from Amazon. I don't really care who Amazon's suppliers are.
As soon as you start viewing amazon's core competency and competitive advantage as being a tax dodge everything else makes a lot more sense. They're not really much good at anything else but having that massive tax dodge advantage takes the whole industry on a competitive spree toward the gutter.

Remember when it became well known what a terrible employer amazon are? So they paid staff to fake twitter post positive things about working at amazon? The only thing that will improve amazon's behavior is if they percieive a threat of losing their tax dodges due to political unpopularity.

See now all this looks a lot more to me like vested interest socialism and cronyism than anything resembling capitalism but I'm sure my socialist friends will view it as the opposite. Everyone is holding their nose at the sheer stench of it.

Whatever your cause without cleaning up the endemic, pervasive corruption leading to massive regulatory capture, that cause is lost.

Anti Censorship Help
I'm likely going to prison soon for a crime I didn't commit. I'd like to blog my story however I'm worried the judge in my country might order it taken down. Can anyone reccomend a reasonably priced U.S. attorney who would be willing to help me maintain it? Other anti-censorship ideas or offers of help are welcome.
I would agree to most of those conclusions. If a project is created as a recreational activity, as something a person is doing because they enjoy programming and is filling a personal need, then that is the payment in itself. Recreational activities may be identical with professional activity in terms of code, and some people can turn an recreational project into their way of earning a living. If it however stop being recreational then forcing yourself to do it would just be working for free unless you convert into getting paid as an professional.
I don’t think there would be a legal way to codify access to truth that wouldn’t also enable disastrous side effects. Such a law would potentially endanger rather than protect journalists, whose work could potentially be scrutinized for truthfulness in order to determine whether they qualify for protection; implicitly, should they fail that scrutiny, however biased... they would presumably be less protected than under broader laws that protect journalists (or just human life) generally.

That said, law isn’t the only framework to understand rights. I think it’s reasonable to say that we’re morally entitled to access to the truth. It doesn’t have the same force as law, but it doesn’t carry the same risks either.

All of that said, since you’re new to the realization that truth telling is a mortal risk... welcome. It’s not warm here, but it’s important to know. For what it’s worth, there’s a long ugly history of persecution of truth. It’s present in the history of major religion and major political strains.

I have many misgivings referencing this particular news outlet generally, but if you want to learn more about the dangers faced by journalists, Democracy Now is a great resource for that.

Weirdly, at one point, your reply no longer seemed to contain the phrase "term of art." It's back now; I must have been mistaken about the initial change, since you'd have had to edit it well after the expiration period.

In any case, "open source" isn't a term of art. It did not originate with ESR or with anyone else in the software development field, so it means whatever anyone wants it to mean.
It's not that hard - look at systems like Fakespot that could automatically verify reviewer credibility (without even access to the internal data that Amazon holds).

Or just offer systems for buyers to report suppliers doing exactly this - buying reviews.

Or honeypot it, and just put some fake addresses on sites that sell reviews and then ban companies that send you stuff.

I mean there are loads of solutions, but all of them involve Amazon taking down 5 star reviews that help them sell crap, so the incentives are obviously conflicting here.
Can you post a list of them?

> How is this achieved in practice?

You were accountable to each other, not to an authority. Authority gets you enough to do the bare minimum to not get fired or not get caught.

Being accountable to each other feels very very different. It's tough to explain in an HN post but anyone who has felt the difference knows what I meant. You care what your peers think. You care about that authority only enough for them to leave you alone.

Never let it be said that shame isn't an effective tool.

Thanks on your article. It was honest. You didn't try to blame anyone else, nor yourself. You found the market bad, and the ability to find a "killer" product harder than many "you can get rich doing this" promoters wrong.

Really neat collection of short stories that are kind of like Black Mirror, but positive. They don't all deal with technology, but some do. All stand alone stories.

Free speech should be a basic human right... and maybe truth falls under that.
I published my first book on Amazon in 2012. It's sold roughly 15,000 copies since then.

Along the way, I've learned that there are not only multiple ways to easily buy reviews (and in bulk), but that a significant portion of Amazon reviews are these 'bought' reviews--utterly fake.

Amazon does police reviews, but it's inconsistent and easily defeated.

More practically, I've come to realize that Amazon reviews have very little to do with sales now. Many authors I know feel the same way.
> See now all this looks a lot more to me like vested interest socialism and cronyism than anything resembling capitalism

What is “vested interest socialism?” Do you mean something like an uncompetitive firm propped up by the government?
Removing a tag is a simple operation. You can either change from #todo to #inprogress (or whatever tag you want) in list or drag from a lane to another if you're in kanban and Ambra will change it automatically.

As per animations on landing, we're working to smooth them and more friendlier - while we're fully concentrated on product by leaving that part a bit behind. Yes, a static page would work way better.

We're working on about us page as well - we're a team of ~10 working on Ambra for a year almost.

Maybe in near future we will do the comparison with other players, but we have completely different philosophy on task management - we want to make a task manager completely trivial by invoking natural language and remove all dropdowns and lists and pre-configuration other (almost all) current tools asks.

Thanks for the feedback! Really appreciate the support.
> Isn’t the US government not allowed to own any IP? I’m pretty sure the Constitution says so.

Not exactly. Anything created by the government and it's employees is automatically public domain (so, no copyright), but the government can and does get copyrights assigned to it[0] all the time for things created by vendors and contractors (this is negotiated in advance).

So, the government can own copyrights, if it acquires them.

[0] sometimes the US government just gets a perpetual, worldwide, yadda, yadda license instead. Typically not sublicensable, though. This can be a really sweet deal for the vendor, and really annoying for the public, particularly when it comes to data sets created with public funds.
Not just a CA thing, roughly half of my Amazon purchases in the US have included these cards as well; the first time I remember seeing one of these cards begging for a review was in mid 2017. Oddly, that was also one of the first clearly counterfeit products I received from Amazon. Order was for some Nalgene lab solvent wash bottles, but the product I received had extremely poor printing for the warning diamond and were unvented. The reason I remember the card was that they offered $20 for a review, and IIRC I paid ~$15 for the product.
That’s a good point. Perhaps I’m combining two different things - freedom of speech and truth. Thanks for pointing that out.

With Jamal aside, would you consider addressing the more general question of truth as a right?

I think turing incomplete languages are the future, because every property you care about of a program that you will write is reasonably efficient to reason about. Otherwise your teammates aren't going to be very happy that you're writing it that way.

This defines some subset of computable functions that has some real nice properties. Eventually I expect us to gain more and more understanding of where that boundary lies, defining humans-give-a-shit-about-these-programs-space. Over time, I expect our tools will slowly gain the ability to automatically check the things that we care about and restrict us from doing it in ways that get too hairy. I expect that that future is a very long way off.
I've been contacted several times after leaving negative reviews by sellers that they would refund me 50% or more (and even 100% in one case) if I changed the review to be positive.

If the software is controlled, updated by someone other than you, then for sure they can back-door it. Proper E2E requires that you do something out-of-band from the software that it can't decode regardless of what the developers add. That is of course high friction and only a small number of people do this. For low friction E2E, there has to be some level of trust that a company won't back-door the software. Some people believe in solving this trust issue with legal agreements, but I dont ascribe to that. Governments can still force changes, provide immunity and use gag orders. There are also canaries, but I don't buy into that either, nor do corporate lawyers I have talked to, as well as other lawyers. [1]

No, it doesn't. Just saying something doesn't make it so. Trying to enforce a trademark on "Open Source" as a development methodology would be good for a few laughs in a courtroom, but that's it.

I think the point of the article here is not to try to imply that peer review is infallible, but that peer review, in this particular case, isn't happening in any form, despite the journal advertising,

FYI the transcript at the link is really good
Another reason to consume less stuff. It's not that often that I buy stuff that really needs to be high quality. But when I do, I make sure to look for honest reviews elsewhere, on multiple websites. Of course Google will try to feed you crappy referral websites, which just write as many low-quality articles as possible, and make money through the Amazon affiliate link to buy the item. It takes some skill to dodge this and find the real stuff.

This is only a superficial solution to the cause of these zoonotic diseases, which is overpopulation. The problem is that with 7bil people disease will spread with increasing frequency, and areas of super population growth like Africa and India will suffer the most.

But because no vaccine for any coronavirus had ever been invented, this new vaccine and the new techniques used to make it must be celebrated as a technological breakthrough. Possibly the greatest medical breakthrough since the 19th century. Possibly Nobel prize winning material.

It's a "barely digital" standard.

It doesn't have any error detection or correction. The timing of the signal is still based on CRT TV's.

Really the whole lot should be done away with and replaced with something properly bidirectional, and preferably IP based so it can be routed anywhere.
Actually in Ambra you communicate with tags. Task progress or status might have a tag that team agrees to use. That's it. No more, no less.

We do have support for sub-tasks that are actually tasks itselves, by having just task-number as a tag :) (inception huh :D).
> You hear pundits and journalists claiming things for fact, but what are the sources, and what is the actual evidence.

Biden’s Pick for Coronavirus Task Force Said: ‘Living Too Long Is Also a Loss’
I really, truly, would like to believe both of the major political parties in the US have reasonably good intentions. It makes logical sense—how can half of the entire population be mostly wrong, and the rest mostly right?

But then I always remember that in the United States, there is only one major political party that believes Climate Change is real. The other party believes the phenomenon is some sort of gigantic ruse.

I consider Climate Change the most pressing issue of our time, and myself a single-issue voter. Not because everything else is unimportant, but because Climate Change is even more important. We have to get this right, and we have to start immediately!

If the two parties disagreed on how to address Climate Change—say, with a carbon tax versus renewable energy subsidies—that would be one thing. But that's not the world we live in. As long as one of the parties insists that Climate Change is a complete fabrication, I don't see how I can possibly take anything they say seriously.

> It's Amazon's customers who have a problem. Don't expect Amazon to fix it.

The only "fix" is competition. Companies rarely improve without competition. The moment a competitor starts eating their lunch, things will get fixed pronto.

Reminds me of that apocryphal Henry Ford story, that he sent his engineers to the local junk yards to see which parts of his car hadn't failed, and wanted to know why they were making something that was outlasting the car. Amazon would rather spend money on conquering new markets than fixing the one they dominate by a wide margin.
IANAL, but AFAIU this will violate labor laws in many countries. For example in the UK, if you are a contractor that only works for one employer all year, you are considered an employee. And if the company does not pay tax to the UK it is in violation of labor law.
Sure, leave a bad review on the seller NOT THE PRODUCT. You can leave feedback about sellers separate from the product.
