> in some sense she is quite brave.

IMHO she's an unethical ethicist, rude, and presumptuous at best. She has no idea what kind of depredations may have gone on in the lives of people she calls "privileged". I look like a typical fat white bald businessguy. I have been thrown into jail unjustly, raped, beaten, kicked out of schools and shunned from my social group for things I didn't do and would never do, rejected by multiple girlfriends' families because I was not in the right minority group, and more.

She has no idea what's gone on in their lives. They on the other hand appear to be treating her with as much public kindness as she is dishing out hatred (publicly).
There is a general principle, that a metric which is used to determine [important decisions, e.g. pay, promotion, sales, etc.] will soon cease to be a reliable metric. If your neighbor tells you that a product is good, they probably really think that, because not enough people go to your neighbor to ask their opinion, to be worth spending $$ to change your neighbor's opinion.

Amazon ratings, quite a long time ago, became way to influential to be a reliable metric, because the incentives to game it or outright pay for a better rating are too high. Oddly, by aggregating many opinions just like your neighbor, it becomes LESS reliable than if it were just a single data point.

So? You not buying a product that you wouldn't have bought anyway if the reviews were honest, doesn't hurt the merchant.

> Why are you trying to avoid the question?

I wasn't trying to avoid a question. Sorry if I missed one.

> You were talking about seller reviews, not product reviews before.

I was actually talking about both types of reviews. Amazon will remove illegitimate product reviews if their existence is made known through seller feedback mechanisms, and seller reviews are one such mechanism.

> Do you think choosing a reputable seller is a "secondary" concern after choosing a product? If so, why?

Usually I'd pick the product first, then find a reputable seller. If there's no reputable seller, I may choose a different product, or choose a disreputable seller if I think their reputation is undeserved, or if I'm willing to take a risk to get the particular product. I'm not sure if that's what you mean by "secondary concern", but I wouldn't call it that. They're both considerations.
As the article says, reference counting was not the problem. They got their improvements by disabling the garbage collector sweeps, but reference counting was still being used.
You should have a core (pure) functional component, that doesn't perform network requests, and an outer component for side effects.

It prevents little in practice and makes it so that your original differentiator i.e. open source is no longer true.
I got a similar paid review offer but I'm allowed to give any review rating I wish.
Given that Amazon hasn't forced me to give 5 start to a product, it is a step in the right direction: If a product has few reviews, you give an incentive for buyers to post a review about a product they actually bought.

Baseod on the rest of your comment, I think maybe deplorable was not the word you intended to use there?

> I suspect interest in FreeBSD will rise with the demise of CentOS.

Indeed, the first thing I thought when seeing this post was "I wonder how long the support for each FreeBSD release is". Looking at Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeBSD#Version_history), it seems to be around 5 years. Still no match for the 10 year support CentOS users expected; IMO, 5 years is too short when installing out of cycle (for instance, since the current stable 12.x was released two years ago, if I installed it today on a new computer I'd have only 3 years of support left).
For what it's worth, I know someone who started working at GitHub early this year to "make search not suck". So this might be an early indicator of things to come.

>If you are applying this to computer games, I see your point. If you are applying it to 5-star reviews for $20, then I disagree.

I am with you on this one. Not in the least part, because I don't think that the analogy the parent comment brought up is valid here at all (and I am saying that as someone who actually read that book they mentioned).

In the example the parent comment brought up, it even says "[...]throwing is an integral part of the design - it's meant to be there[...]". That throwing mechanic was an intentional addition to the game, to counter-balance people who constantly block. The only people complaining about it are those who don't understand the game well or early beginners (we are talking someone who never played any fighting games before at all). Every single person playing competitively understands that without throws, the balance would be completely off, and the game would become unplayable competitively. In fact, it would become a completely different kind of game altogether. And throws aren't some hidden feature, it is featured prominently in tutorials and all.

While with gift cards in exchange for amazon reviews, it isn't an intentional mechanic advertised as a feature of the service. Amazon doesn't come out and say "this is one of our core features, without it our service would go down the drain and become unusable." It is still against the rules, and I cannot think of any logical reason it is helpful for buyers in terms of making Amazon.com a better marketplace (aside from the cash gain to the customer writing the paid review, but that's just a personal gain and doesn't make the marketplace better).
If I eat dinner, you will want to quit and I want you to quit. Both want to part way.

We can agree to disagree on being fired or not being fired.

But why would 'being fired' (or not) matter since both sides want to part way?
You could trial implement some of these ideas as a design pattern in the existing Hooks design as essentially an "HOC".

interface HookClassComponent {
render(): React.JSX
}

interface HookClassComponentConstructor {
new(): HookClassComponent // all hooks should happen here
}

function renderHookClass(hookClass: HookClassComponentConstructor) {
const instance = new hookClass()
return hookClass.render()
}

That said, if you were to actually try to build HookClassComponents like this you'd see some of why React presumably didn't bother to include an "HOC" like this. A lot of the hooks rely on simple arrow function closures around variables and it would presumably be a lot easier to make mistakes in handling that temporary mutable state directly as class (private) properties than in single function scopes, and there would presumably be a lot more pressure to make such state modifiable by outside components.

I'd be curious though to see more people try an "HOC" like this, though, and report back what sort of results they get.
> Sometimes talent is hard to recognize

I would say that's most of the time. Companies often have to outsource their head-hunting because so many of them are so bad at it, and entire companies have been created (e.g. TripleByte) because other companies can't figure out how to properly measure talent.

And arguably, the main reason in the first place that managers hire so many people they are OK letting go later on is because their managers (one level up) aren't able to properly observe it happening, on account of the measurement being so poor. If the measurement is that poor, you're basically guaranteed to have hired lots of great people who won't have the opportunity to flourish.
UN summit seeks climate change solutions (2005)
As another data point, I used CVS and later SVN for years before I used git, and I find git to be incredibly easy to use and understand. But I've been using it for over a decade, and spent time in the early days to understand how it works under the hood.

This isn't to say git has a good user interface. I don't think it does. I'm comfortable with it because I've spent many years using it, and because I expended extra effort (effort I don't think an average user should have to expend) to learn it well, and to be unafraid of making mistakes while poking around.
One approach (I'm assuming you're not married, if so, disregard):

Make a plan to work at a regular company for 3(?) years. Live frugally and save as much as you can.

During those 3 years do these things:

- Meet people. Specifically, technical people who are in other technical areas. Learn a little bit about what each of them does and how they do it.

- Treat your time away from your day job as time you're working for yourself. Develop ideas, flesh them out, build prototypes, maybe an MVP.

- Learn about corporate financial statements: P&Ls, Cash Flow, Balance sheet. This is important for analyzing your business ideas. Once you have a product or service concept, build a pro forma financial model and convince yourself whether the idea can fly as a business.

Once the 3 years is up, you'll have seen a broader variety of 'real world' problems to be solved, you'll have met people who you might leverage in establishing a business, you'll have a handful of ideas to choose from, and, you'll have savings to sustain you while you put your shoulders into it.

Importantly, don't force it, be patient and remain objective.

Good Luck!

Yes and no. When during peak evening traffic, by netflow analysis and sheer volume in Gbps on discrete peering connections, I can confidently say that 40%+ of the entire aggregate incoming traffic is netflix, youtube and amazon video, therefore that's 40% at minimum which for certain is not porn.
I'm definitely not questions if your doing things securely or not. Just if maybe needlessly complex.

I'll describe what i'm doing, as the code is kind of old.

* I have a token model that stores a uuid and the relevant user and data, along with an expiration. This isn't session data, just the valid token. You can also store this in redis or wherever.

* There is an endpoint that takes a username and password, and if valid, generates a token, and sets the token's id as a httpOnly secure cookie. This can also returns basic user data for display, name profilephotourl, global permissions, etc. This has a noauth decorator from DRF

* there is a check token endpoint which just returns the above data. This also updates the expiration.

* i have auth module based on rest_framework.authentication.BaseAuthentication that checks the cookie, token validity, etc and generates a valid user.

That's a high level overview.

The price of products does have an impact for shoppers. Also especially with poor people, raising prices limits the amount they can afford.

"It was concluded that there is reasonable and increasing evidence that appropriately designed taxes on sugar sweetened beverages would result in proportional reductions in consumption, especially if aimed at raising the retail price by 20% or more. There is similar strong evidence that subsidies for fresh fruits and vegetables that reduce prices by 10–30% are effective in increasing fruit and vegetable consumption."

Sure, but to be entirely fair, they do execute pretty well on some things where others either didn't, or still don't.

I'm happy to give credit where due, but as a zero-hassle way of ordering things, between their fakes, their absurd experimentation with insufficient packaging, their sub-par regional delivery networks, their broken review system, their clamping down on independent sellers across many categories, and about two dozen other things I could probably come up with, their star has fallen as far for me as their share price has increased.

They're entering their hydra phase and abandoning so much of what made them good to deal with before.
i keep hearing about piholes
You really said nothing to change my opinion. Saying "brilliant" about this pile of garbage is just ridiculous. I don't care how complicated technology, I care about the result. I see results from the RTX-reflections - they are great and it's not some kind of trick or simplification or "optimization for performance". I see the opposite about DLSS - huge FPS boost, but the price is upscaling which looks like cheap upscaling. You can do the same in many games, even old games, using a "rendering resolution" setting or something named like this. I would be happy to jump into the wagon of those who love the new shiny tech called DLSS, but for that, I need to see opposite results. Right now it's a disaster.
This is what the guillotine was invented to solve.
I think you and the parent comment are both missing the point of the example with the videogame (not in the least part, because the analogy was not really applicable at all).

Having that "arbitrary" throw mechanic in the game was done intentionally to make the game more balanced and enjoyable for the customer. The only people complaining about it are very very early beginners, who don't realize that removing that mechanic would completely break the game balance and make it unplayable. It is an advertised feature, not a bug, in this specific scenario.

I don't think that we can say the same about paid reviews on Amazon. It isn't a rule (i.e., Amazon doesn't require every seller to offer gift cards in exchange for 5-star reviews), and it doesn't exist to increase the value that Amazon marketplace provides to their customers, it does the opposite.

P.S. I actually agree with what you said completely. It just that the comment that brought up the videogame analogy didn't realize how completely different the situation there was, so it ended up derailing the further chain of arguments.
on the front end i just hit that check_token endpoint every five minutes or so.

Not sure why you're being downvoted, yeah cookies are handled by legislation other than GDPR (ePrivacy as you mentioned).

However regardless of whether you're using cookies, I still think you need to collect explicit consent as GDPR requires a lawful basis of processing, and I don't see how analytics would fall under any of the other lawful basis's other than consent (_maybe_ legitimate interests?)

If you are using cookies, then my understanding is you need to collect consent where necessary under _both_ ePrivacy and GDPR.
