I think they spent it perfectly, up to mmWave, which btw is only in US (and maybe Australia?). They managed to add 2GB ram, double default storage to 128gb, increase battery by 50% and still make the phone $200 cheaper. It's the perfect BoM if it wasn't for mmWave.

Paying $100 more for mmWave is ridiculous. That's a 15% price increase for something that most people don't need or care for. The fact that you can't buy the non-mmWave version in the US is what makes this a really bad decision. The same is not true for the 4a 5G, which is $500 on the Google Store without mmWave, but has a special $600 Verizon-only version you can get with mmWave. So I have no idea why they didn't do the same for the Pixel 5. Instead you are forced to buy the mmWave version even if you're getting the device through Google Store and will never use mmWave.

Meanwhile here in Canada it's $800 CAD ($600 USD), so I'm happy I got the phone for a great price. That being said, if you don't care for 90hz display, wireless charging and waterproofing, 4a is definitely a fantastic deal at half the price.
And they can use that budget to pay an invoice from an approved vendor. (Beyond something small that can be put on an expense report.)

Amazon really do have a problem.

No, they don't. This is simple - Amazon have optimized their product to maximize their profit. Amazon have a shop that people continue to use despite the fact that it's full of scams and knock off goods. Amazon make huge profits from that, so they have no problem with it at all. It only becomes a problem if the customers stop shopping there, and that's not looking very likely.

It's Amazon's customers who have a problem. Don't expect Amazon to fix it.
That's an overstatement. Biden barely won against a clown in the middle of a pandemic. I'm glad he did, but it's an anemic victory, American politics is realigning, and if people don't want to see that, the inevitable result will be another Trump, except probably a competent one next time.
Maybe I haven't been paying attention, but I've never had a site attach extra text to copied text like this site does. I wanted to see what the test machine's case looks like, so I copied the make and model and pasted it into a search bar, and got "Read more:" and a link to the page along with the text I wanted to copy.

No thanks. I'll be skipping that site in the future, unless that javascript comes from a place I can easily block with pi-hole.
I never said that.

There's simply no good reason to periodically write your data from flash to $other every now and them, and then back to flash. There are heaps of other ways to prevent data loss or performance degradation in flash storage.

There are methods like tiered storage, where only the most active data is present in Flash-storage, much like write back caching.

You either didn't fully read my post, or didn't understand it. It's not that you can't, it's that it's a bad idea. I would instantly reject any pull request that wasn't compartmentalized to the issue at hand. It's an organizational nightmare to handle both features as well as refactoring in the same PR.

It's funny how you remain completely unaware of the merits of your country's set of laws unless you hear from how things are elsewhere. We do have spam calls, but they are rare enough that people bonding over spam call infuriation might reference one that happened a year earlier.
Pixel 4a is the sweet spot for me. Small phone for 2020 standards and works just as I expect it to. I really love the casual design and how it feels in hand. I don't like the glass backs or pure metals. I don't want edge display. I don't care about wireless charging (why do people even feel it's necessary?). I would rather have faster cable charging.

I want a practical phone. I don't care much about gimmicks. The new one plus has 3 useless cameras out of 4. They added two flash and extra cameras for marketing purposes. These little things added by the marketing departments only increase the amount you need to pay and make for a worse experience.
> Receiving damaged products, wrong products, overly used (skin buildup on "new" keyboards, etc).

I think Amazon considers these issues with the vendor, not issues with the product proper. So they would want you to report those things in a vendor review rather than in a product review.

I've definitely submitted negative product reviews and had them go live. And obviously there are lots of negative reviews out there on lots of products.
I wouldn't exclude the possibility that this is being done deliberately and not merely as an outcome of the problem you described. Maybe they have the data to support the decision to allow a measured amount of fake reviews in. If well-reviewed products sell better than under-reviewed products, and the number of under-reviewed products keeps growing month after month, slowing sales growth, Amazon might see more $$$ down the road if they do allow a few blemishes into their reviews on under-reviewed products.
That's an even noisier channel! It has its place, but don't expect it to solve all such problems. Unless they're disgruntled HP employees, they don't even have access to the declining sales figures, just their own frustration with printers to motivate a story for investors. And most people who have the know-how to launch a new printer company know that they'll get a better return on their time by doing something else.

Lastly, "barriers to entry" are real things. It's not impossible to overcome them (eg. SpaceX) but you need to make an exceptional case to try.

How many people do you know who buy their office equipment off of Kickstarter? Or do you want to try pitching a VC on outcompeting Samsung at flat-panel televisions, and see what they tell you?
I'm going to push back a little regarding Epson, although I'm hoping someone with direct experience will reply with useful feedback.

The 'ultra-high capacity' black ink bottle (T542) used by many of these printers is only 127ml. Further, from the user guide it appears that Epson recommends using the entire bottle to refill the printer (truthfully, I have not been able to find specs on the actual ink capacity of any of the ecotank or supertank printers) and does not recommend storing the bottle after having been opened. This doesn't really seem like bulk ink to me.

Hum yes, I'm French and have lived here for about 30 years or so. Travel across the EU is much much easier if you're a EU citizen, ceteris paribus.

It's actually pretty funny that you would refer to that convoluted situation where one would have to fly first to Helsinki then to Estonia, considering both Finland and Estonia are in Schengen so no document would be required of an EU citizen to adapt their travel plans at the last minute.
I loved the pixel 1. I used it from launch until it finally died on me a few months ago. I upgraded to the Pixel 4 and was really disappointed. My primary complaint is the lack of a fingerprint scanner, the face unlock is simply slower and less effective (especially now that I'm wearing a mask because of covid). With the fingerprint scanner on the Pixel 1 the phone was unlocked before i was even done taking it out of my pocket. The face unlock will never be able to match that.

Im excited that the Pixel 5 reintroduced the fingerprint scanner. I am strongly considering tossing my new Pixel 4 and upgrading it to the 5.

To give them a bit of credit, Amazon did ban giving reviewers cheap or free products in exchange for reviews a few years ago. They also shut down 3rd party sites that were facilitating the buying and selling of reviews.

Not the person you're replying to, but the lack of generics is the big killer for me. I'm used to being able to manipulate data efficiently via streams/sequences and a rock-solid stdlib which just isn't possible in Go due to a lack of generics.

A close second would be the lack of good performant libraries, which is somewhat due to number 1 and somewhat due to it being a relatively newer language. Try finding a good drop-in loading cache akin to Guava caching or Caffeine in Golang, it doesn't exist.

For Pico-8, closed-ness is a feature: the author is known to hide secret easter-egg features in updates eventually get discovered and unearthed over time. Parts of the memory map are still unknown, and people will figure out new "pokes" that will save you some tokens or cycles... then someone takes that and does something nuts with the undocumented features.

If it were open source, and community-driven then by now Pico8 would just be a regular old game framework: features would get added and added until it was just like any other game library.

As it stands, the secret-ness of the code is a big part of the fun. Figuring out how to push the limitations and looking for sneaky ways to do new things. It feels like exploring and trying to master the early 8bit computers back in the day. That's the "fantasy" part!

That's why I call Pico-8 a fantasy console, and the knock-offs are just "feature-limited game libraries"!
Hang in there but return it if you can. I had a bad experience with my laptop purchase as well. (Issue wasn't discovered until after the return window.) Hopefully, you've already been escalated to their "real" customer support tier by now. I had to send mine in three times. One of those times they returned the laptop with a downgraded mainboard.

In the end I'm pretty happy with the laptop but I will never buy from them again.
I think Starlark (formerly known as Skylark) [1] is a practical example of a Turing Incomplete language. As far as I know, this language doesn't allow recursion or even while loops. Only Python like for loops over bounded collections are allowed.

The language is very similar to Python so it's extremely easy to learn for many people.

This language is used as a configuration language for the Bazel build system [2]. Ensuring that scripts will run is a very nice property for configuration languages, giving a nice balance between flexibility and sanity.

I would love to have a similar configuration language but based on Clojure instead of Python.

We would expect neither a public nor private monopoly to invest magnanimously in an effective way. Keep in mind ISPs still charge for multiple tiers of service, add-on products, etc. So asking for investment beyond that would be beyond consumer demand. That is something that could be mandated by ordinance, but would be scrutinized just as any disproportionately large budget section would be.
Why would you leave a negative review on a product that you didn't receive?

It's really annoying to sift through comments like "Amazon gave me the wrong product" or "the UPS driver kicked the box through my window" as if that has anything to do with the product I'm looking at. Those comments should absolutely get deleted.
Exactly. That's one thing drop shipping and MLMs have in common.
Not really, especially if you use a lot of templated code.
> However Python and Ruby will hit scaling issues due to their performance limitations.

This is entirely determined by the problem domain it's being used for. The vast majority of web applications could use Django just fine without ever hitting a performance bottleneck outside the odd viral hug of death. You should prove you will have performance problems before you try to design solutions for it.

None of this requires defunding the police, but I imagine you're far to the right of the person I'm replying to, so possibly irrelevant.

I haven't seen evidence that this is an effective strategy, though there's not really compelling evidence in either direction. At the very least, I can argue that this should be tested thoroughly before implementation in Chicago.

On a personal level, I really do not want to be made responsible for killing anyone, though I expect your response is that enough people would be willing to kill a person that there would be a kind of herd immunity. I also do not believe in the death penalty, even for murder. Accordingly, I disagree with this plan wholeheartedly, exactly to the degree that it is effective.

Why? Meat replacements are engineered to have similar nutritional value as the meat-based version.

for example, BK:

>A traditional Whopper has 660 calories, 40 grams of fat (12 of which are saturated) and 28 grams of protein. The Impossible Whopper clocks in at 630 calories, 34 grams of fat (11 saturated) and 25 grams of protein, so it's pretty similar from a macro nutritional standpoint. [0]

> Calorie density doesn't make a meal unhealthy.

That's right.

> Can we decouple the idea of "healthy" from calories?

Not completely. While calories themselves don't make a food healthy or unhealthy, healthy foods definitely skew towards low caloric density, and unhealthy foods definitely skew towards high caloric density.

No causation, very strong correlation.

I have been increasingly suspicious of the review quality on Amazon as well. Coupled with the poor search functionality and the increasing amount of "sponsored" stuff that's inundated every page, I don't have much confidence in my ability to find products that meet my search criteria anymore. I feel increasingly like I'm at Best Buy--as soon as I enter, I'm accosted by sales pitches that are uninterested in actually helping me find what I want. For a company that prides itself as "customer obsessed", it seems like lip service these days.

That said, I don't find this post very convincing at all.

> I made a purchase...

> So Amazon lets sellers pay for fake reviews...

Sorry this is an incoherent argument (generalizing from a single data point). I've heard plenty of anecdotes of this stuff (maybe a couple dozen?) but even that's not nearly enough for me to feel confidently say "this is a widespread problem". I realize the data may be hard to obtain, but until we have it, I don't really think we can confidently make such a conclusion.
Stopped trading Options. Volatility is way out of whack. Everything seems to go beyond 2 or 3 Standard Deviations. So, to make money consistent with Options, you need a trading strategy which predecits the direction. But then, you can trade the underlying, because trading Options usually means, trading for income, not speculation.

However - I've developed other skills:
a) Long Term Strategy: COT Trading (Committment Of Traders). I suggest you read Larry Williams about COT Trading - Google it!

b) Intraday Scalping: Develop a winning strategy, test it to prove yourself you can make money, and then trade it live, but not with your money. Go to TopStep Traders, invest a couple hundred bugs and see if you can make money consistently. If not, you only burn a couple 100s, and not 1000s

Hope this helps
Wish you good luck!
Sure, but this has nothing to do with Nazi’s or concentration camps.

This just has to do with wanting to sell your apps to more people from the developer side, or wishing Google would use better materials to make their phones from the user side.

Let’s be honest here.
I think there is without a doubt a space for it. Multithreading in today's game engines should be commonplace, I think. And that's outside of the obvious threads like main and audio.

The problem is that most naive "game engines" which provide nothing more than bindings to OpenGL/bgfx, OpenAL, Box2D, etc. and are really just "game libraries," don't even provide things like out-of-the-box multiplayer or level loading, so the idea that they're going to make the leap from providing basically nothing to providing mechanisms for multithreaded game logic, which requires some sort of gamerules/gamemode abstraction first is not something I think you'll see in practice.

Most game libraries or game frameworks like these only provide things like load, update, draw callbacks with some nice bindings.

I think I still don't understand how you're thinking about it. When I report a bug or file a feature request, it seems to me that you would say I am asking the author to do some unpaid labor. That is, I am asking them to fix the bug or to add my feature. A bug report is requesting a fix to previous changes, yes, but isn't it still, in your view, a request for something in exchange for nothing? If you fix a bug for me, "you pay a hefty cost in time while my cost remains 0", no?
