if 47 evaluates the true branch. So in that sense you are correct, however standard C99 (the above mentioned bug uses win32's TRUE which is defined the same way) does #define true 1 therefore 47==true is false, even if 47 is true when evaluated.

int a = 47;

if a is true

if a == true is false

if a == false is false

int b;

b = a == true; b = 0

b = a != true; b = 1

b = a == false; b = 0

b = a != false; b = 1

The incentive for companies is to design products that are obsolete after a few years, such that they can sell a new one and make money on the new sale. While it's beneficial for customers to be able to repair their devices, their choices are limited by the availability of repairable devices.

The government has plenty of levers to use to improve repairability and reducing the amount of discarded electronics. They could mandate a minimum service life for electronics, where the manufacturer has to repair or replace any device that fails during that service life, for free, as long as the repair isn't due to customer negligence. They could mandate having a serviceability score label on electronics, just like the energy star rating or nutritional information label. They could require that manuals and parts are available to third party repair shops, without discriminatory pricing and availability. The list goes on.

It's not unlike fuel efficiency and clean air mandates. Once all the manufacturers had to abide by the same rules, unsurprisingly, fleet efficiency and air quality improved.

Performance Improvement Plan, they are not unique to Amazon, most places have them though the process may differ. Not to be too cynical but ultimately they’re a way to document that you’re not meeting expectations - before being fired. Should there be any sort of employment claim later its a mechanism by which an employer can show documentation that any issues related to your being let go were performance related and not some sort of protected status or prejudice.

Outside of someone protected by a labor union, I’ve very rarely seen anyone recover from a PIP and not be eventually let go. Most commonly employees see them as a 30 or 60 day window to proactively find a new job before they’re terminated.

It's probably not related to what you were doing when it happened (closing DMs). It's just that their ML batch job happened to run then, and aggregating your previous behaviours and network access patterns across the whole app and maybe other things it 'observed' about your use of your computer after you gave its client unmitigated access to everything on your PC (I digress), it decided based on some opaque trained model that you were a spambot.
Here's a thought experiment. This one requires some long-term thinking, outside the box and well past recent history and the status quo.

What if the majority internet usage is non-interactive, from so-called "bots", what we may refer to as "automated use". Google and Facebook, among others, rely on the use of automation and "bots". The non-interactive clients ("bots") being used by these companies are not asked to solve captchas. (In turn, after collecting data from public sources, these websites attempt to prohibit the use of automation by their users wishing to access it. What is interesting is that neither company provides any definition of "automated" nor any clearly stated limits on the speed at which a user may access resources or the quantity of resources they may access in a stated time period. One might be apt to find such limits associated with an "API".)

In 2013 an Incapsula report suggested that the majority of internet usage is in fact automated and not "malicious"^1 -- what if public information sources on the internet catered to the use of automation rather than trying to limit such use, e.g., with speed bumps^2 like "captchas". What if servers treated all clients equally, instead of having data forcibly collected by a few large clients that receive preferential treatment, then siloed and protected from "automation". What effects would this have on "centralisation" and levelling the playing field.

"Do not ask for permission, ask for forgiveness." What does it really mean when applied to the internet. Perhaps it means there is an endemic lack of clarity about "the rules". Prohibiting "automation" is far too vague and in many cases it makes no sense. The growth of computers and the internet is the growth of automation. Both servers and clients may have concerns about resource utilisation. Websites do not ask for permission when they decide to use large amounts of the user's computer resources.

Consider that a Google could not exist without being "given permission" to use automation. Does the GoogleBot have to solve captchas. No automation means no company such as this could exist. How useful would the web be without anyone being able to use automation to create an index. Based on the HN comments about web search I have read over the years, I would guess that for many commenters, it means the usefulness of the web would be dramatically reduced.

Imagine an automation-friendly internet. The truth is, I think (the data shows) we already have one, except we are in denial that "the rules" actually allow it. An early metaphor for internet and web use was "surfing". It may be that those who are constantly fighting against automation are fighting against the waves instead of riding them. Time will tell. It stands to reason, IMO, that every internet user, whether a server or a client, should be expected to use automation.

2. An early metaphor for the internet was a "superhighway". Speed bumps would seem out of place on a superhighway.

> Let’s simply return to the 1950s, in terms of tax policy.

I dunno, 1800-1940 looks pretty promising. The high taxes of 1950-2020 doesn't seem to have done much for making people happy. I'm always happy to start a fight - I reckon the biggest impact of things like the 1950-2020 tax regime is a bunch of factories to China.

Obviously there is a lot more going on than taxes, but America isn't investing in itself and it is starting to show. Where did the money go? Is the answer in that extra 10% of the GDP being directed to the Federal government? After 70 years that would be starting to show up.

My collectables were action hero cards (Van Damme doing splits, Schwarzenegger in Predator, Rocky flexing, etc) we got through random gum packages or some other little candy packing (I was maybe 9-10 in early 90s when this was popular, so not super sure). We traded and collected and I'm pretty sure I have the whole 50 cards or so still in a little baggie somewhere in storage.

I also remember Cincin... so perhaps that was where I got them too. Cheers! (from a transplant from Albania)

EDIT: Looking at those series of pics you linked to, I can say I do remember them. My friends collected them. It was the biggest thing happening in our lives.

Counter-theory: states exist to coordinate large groups of people for mutual gain, mostly in form of shared services (such as law, law enforcement, defense, thriving markets, but in current era also healthcare and social security) and wealth redistribution (taxes go in, subsidies come out). They may start as an attempt by a group of people to subjugate and extract wealth from a wider group of people, but they don't grow and survive unless they offer all these "extras".

In this way, they're another step of the natural way people divide into hierarchies as the group size grows beyond a size that's manageable through social conventions (which happens to be more or less Dunbar's number).

Now that explains why they exist and why people accept them. As for their purpose, I'm reminded of the good ol' POSIWID[0] - "the purpose of a system is what it does".

Nicely put me old fruit. Sadly we have managed to make a habit of that. For example the "death of English cricket" - https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/23241494 is why the Ashes exist.

Soccer is not grid iron, nor is it rugby but back in the day, defence could be quite a bit more robust than it is now. Footie players are not built like the second row and if you happen to apply six studs (cleats I think for the left pondians) at speed to the side of someone's knee then it will not end well.

If you look carefully, you will notice that Maradona doesn't simply whizz around defenders: he completely humiliates our boys by finding space and making the ball go there with him. The bloody thing is attached to his toe when he needs it to be so and then he simply flicks it into the net, almost as an afterthought. He barely looks at it - he know where it is because he has told it to be there.

Genius.
I have heard stories like these before but it wasn’t clear to me that this is apparently a broader issue at AWS (reading the other comments). While I think that very short outages in line with SLAs must mot necessarily go public or have a post mortem, it is astonishing to see that some teams/managers go through lengths to hide this at the „primus“ of hyperscalers.

I always wonder how many more products AWS pushes out the door versus cleaning up and improving what the have already. Cognito itself is such a half-baked mess...

But back to topic, when should we update status pages? On every incident? Or when SLAs are violated?
I'm trying hard to think how many lives is a worthy tradeoff for all the things you mentioned. One death for the sweat and waiting? Two for the steep slopes and bike theft?
Disagree. Any company that employs electrical engineers "has the in-house skills" to design their own office light fixtures and repair the microwave in the breakroom, for example. But is that a good use of engineering time?

My position on data privacy is slightly different from other people on this site—unlike some, I don’t care all that much if Amazon knows my reading habits, but I do not want it to show ads, provide recommendations, or otherwise tailor my experience based on what it knows. I’m concerned that this “tailoring” puts me in a filter bubble, and locks me in to a narrow set of preferences for the rest of my life.

In this regard, Amazon is among the worst of the big tech companies that I interact with. Google lets me turn off personalization—when I go to Youtube, I see an extremely generic set of recommended videos. But I can’t do it on Amazon.

(I don’t use Facebook, not sure what can be switched off.)
It's not perfect, and you are right about the downsides. These resources that spammers have can be applied as easily to re/hcaptcha (either through ML or clickfarms). No CAPTCHA will actually lock out targeted attacks.

The difficulty increase per IP can be seen as a form of soft rate limiting, it's shared between all websites (which is where it's different from ordinary rate limiting). In the future we may use IP reputation lists to guide the initial difficulty too - but we haven't implemented that yet.

I think that no perfect captcha can exist, which is inherent to the problem. Proof of work makes different fradeoffs, and perhaps it is cheaper to attack still - I think it's a much more friendly solution for users though (accessibility, privacy, simplicity, fairness, UX).

Maybe in the future the solution would be something like this: a long PoW-based captcha that runs in the background as well as a vision task for the user, whichever gets solved first.

Whenever it comes to gaming I just assume anyone saying they've been banned unfairly deserved it.

People being banned from services unfairly (and without explanation) is a real problem, that doesn't mean that everytime someone complains they deserve the benefit of the doubt.

This doesn't do much anyways. Whether it be Discord or any other support helpdesk, their tier 1 support will just merge the new request into your already-existing request and you're back to square one in getting a reply. After doing this enough times they might just completely block your email since it really is spam at that point.

I'm not the one who brought up Greenwald's lies about Sam Harris. That was two other people. I'm simply trying to set the record straight.

Regarding Greenwald's claim that he never supported the Iraq war: He redefines "support" to mean using a platform or role in politics to publicly profess support for the war. By that definition, my hawkish uncle didn't support the Iraq war because he never published anything on the matter. I agree with Greenwald that his beliefs at the time were reasonable. And I know the Iraq was a big reason why he changed many of his political views. But unlike Greenwald, Harris never even implicitly supported the Iraq war. At the time he thought it was, "...a very dangerous distraction from the ongoing war in Afghanistan." In hindsight, he admits it was a disaster.

In The End of Faith, Harris uses the Iraq war as an example of the US being utterly abhorrent, but still being more ethical and moral than many other societies on the planet. He argues that the reason those societies haven't caused more harm is because they lack the capability, not the will, and that it's crucial to make that distinction. Now it's quite possible to disagree with that argument, but it takes an extremely uncharitable reading of Harris to get support for the Iraq war out of that text.
