FBA can still work, it's just that the illusion of having a choice of seller in an area wouldn't. Instead there would be a pool of sellers for any (claims to be) fungible item. It would also make it easier to get deceptive actors kicked from the system.
Unfortunately this is not clarifying my concerns about duplications in this particular case. I understand about the year of expiration and moderators can reach out submitters but for me is not clear what `significant discussion` means as well as `moderators could suggest submitters repost items which the mods felt were interesting but did not catch on`.

Essentially I still don't understand why some get label as duplicated and some others not.

Anyway, Unfortunately https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html is not clear at all for me and I think HN needs to make it more obvious to help members to understand without doubts or contradictions, which was the case for me.

So I will contact HN soon in order to request an account deletion.

Thanks for try to explain me about it.

PD. Sorry for the deviation of these comments from the main topic here.
But I think my concern is already expressed on previous comments.

Backfiring would imply things are changing or getting worse for them. And I'm certain that we're not at "peak Amazon."

Worse, Americans especially are becoming numb to top down abuses. Not only am I worrying that this is not backfiring, but I'm also worried about the precedent we're setting by being so tolerant to it.

That is a really horrible accusation of something I haven't done. The OP is the one proposing jail-like punishment for actions that only lower the ad revenue and actually benefit the customer. It has nothing to do with defending Google (especially since I'm also talking about AdBlockers, which could easily fall into "coporation allows adblockers to lower revenue" interpretation).

I have never heard of asdf. When we started using volta (back then notion) more than two years ago, it replaced nvm for us which was just very slow and frustrating.

I recently had a support case I opened with Microsoft and their support also initially said that my reported behaviour was "normal" so should be expected. Turns out they had just reproduced the behaviour on their side and assumed it was "intended".

I guess in most cases Microsoft Support just responds with whether or not you are using their products as intended and are observing the expected behaviour, with expected behaviour actually being what the observed behaviour is when they try on their side. Unless there is some actual error, they don't seem to apply much initiative in deciding whether or not the observed behaviour actually makes sense.

To their credit for my case, when I pointed out that given a slightly (but not very) different scenario my behaviour was actually unusual, they then tried to work to report it to the development team.

My issue was that when I imported a code-signing certificate into Key Vault HSM with a particular algorithm, most fields would show up blank in the Portal UI. When I was unable to succesfully use the certificate to code sign our software, I assumed something went wrong with the import somehow, hence the certificate details not showing correctly. Importing certificate with a different algorithm would show the details, so it's something about the way that Key Vault/Portal UI handles that algorithm.

Ultimately it turned out that the problem was that the algorithm was actually unsupported by the code signing tool (it was my first time doing setting up EV code signing), but as I pointed out to the support agent, were it not for the problem on the UI, I wouldn't have assumed a potential problem with the way the the certificate was imported.

Frustratingly I only chose that algorithm initially because it was advised by a "helpful" person in a Github issue for the code signing tool I was using. I later saw that that same person within hours commented in another issue that although Azure Key Vault supports the new algorithm, the tool doesn't work with it, but they didn't respond back in my issue that what they suggested to me won't actually work.

Similar to Boeing, Airbus also outsources their components. See example list of A350 subcontractors: https://www.aerospace-technology.com/projects/a350wxb#0

Even though Airbus also outsources the flight control systems, they did not make the same mistake of only using 1 AOA Angle-of-Attach sensor in computations.

It doesn't mean Airbus is perfect. Some observers think Airbus' deliberate decision to decouple the pilot and co-pilot joysticks to not show synchronized physical feedback is a flaw which contributed to the 2009 Air France 447 crash. The co-pilot mistakenly pulled the joystick back the entire time and the senior pilot was unaware of it. Consequently, Gulfstream Aerospace (they also outsource many components including flight controls to Honeywell) decided to not copy Airbus' design for the new 500/600 business jets and instead, coupled both joysticks together with force feedback so the both pilots have physical sensation of what the other pilot is doing.

So instead of thinking "outsourcing leads to bad outcomes", there's an alternative explanation of "good or bad outcomes regardless of outsourcing". E.g. Blaming the "outsourcing" can't explain the good & bad outcomes when you study all the case studies of Airbus, Gulfstream, Tesla, Nvidia, etc.

.EDIT reply to : >The scale of outsourcing Boeing has done for the 787 is not comparable to AB (or anyone else). They outsourced core competencies, wing design, materials, software, basically everything,

I still don't understand why we begin the analysis by the amount of outsourcing and working backwards from that to conclude that the 787 is a worse airplane. Instead, why can't we consider that the 787 may be be considered superior to Airbus A330 by pilots and airliners. The more heavily outsourced 787 can also be superior to the 737-MAX in-house wing design.

>, and it pretty much aligns with the point the author is making: you can’t innovate / design if you don’t know how your products are made.

Similar to Boeing 787 carbon composite wings being outsourced in Japan potentially being superior to Airbus in-house designs...
AMD outsources more than Intel (because AMD outsourced to TSMC) and AMD Neoverse outperforms Intel Xeon. AMD out innovated Intel. Intel is so behind that they've made public statements of possibly outsourcing their chip fab in the future. But the AMD innovation story does not align with author's point. See the flaw in his analysis?

>bleach and stainless steel
Thank you for pointing that out. I was worried about Bleach corroding stainless steel inside and outside the dishwasher. Bleach has serious issues related to being used in a dishwasher and in general. I can’t find good information about Bleach in my digitized dishwasher notes. I know that I paused until I had resolved these issues. Corrosion of stainless steel worried me the most. If I can’t find better notes or remember why I was convinced; then I will have to stop using Bleach.
The problem is anyone can make a blog and there are a ton of good writers. The media used to be an exclusive club like Hollywood but now anyone can make their own news blog so there’s nothing special about NY times or any of the others except their name and possibly some unique information sources from their contacts. I have read many small news blogs that are better written than the major news outlets. They also don’t choke you down with intrusive ads and pop ups and give you paywalls just to read their version of the same story being reported on other blogs for free. Their days are numbered to be sure.

Precisely. Much of the "innovations" and "efficiencies" touted (by Amazon and by many other players) are actually not any material/physical/technical improvements, but financial games, buying competitors, operating at a loss, regulatory evasion, monopolisation, etc.

I'm not here to argue. Simply offering my perspective per the OP's request. That does not take away from the fact that almost all plant-based protein sources lack "complete" proteins with all of the essential amino acids that the body needs for cellular repair/regeneration. There are plenty of long-term studies that underscore this.

I am not challenging the merits of vegetables, as I realize they are absolutely essential for optimal health. One needs at least a moderate source of protein and fats with a plentiful source of vegetables to support a healthy metabolism.

> The lack of liquidity in the financial system then further limits what banks can lend to builders.

The massive credit expansion is exactly what you don't want if you want to ease the housing market.

The Economist got almost everything in this story wrong.

I have personal experience of being to Nigeria a few times on infrastructure subcontract projects.

The predominant portion of those abandoned construction sites are made by plain fraudsters, take money, make a semblance of construction going, then vanish with money.

Urban apartment housing in most of Africa is seen as something for a more affluent, and well off, much alike how it is in Asia, and not the other way around as it is in the West.

There are quite proficient builders in economically relatively well doing African countries. Take a look on http://www.mhfproperties.com/

Where fraud proliferates are 2nd tier African economies, and housing for people lower on the class ladder (ones who are just entering the middle class, and still want save hard on housing.)

The shortages of cement, steel, and construction supplies bear much more on the availability of housing than any of that "liquidity" thing.

Africa needs more factories, more mills, more kilns, more technical know how. At the moment even such basic things like petrol, and cement are largely import only even in most developed African economies.

This leads to those countries squandering their short FX resources gained largely from agricultural exports, which could've been spent in import of something more useful, and productive, like plant machinery.

And that's aside from the fact that regulators will mostly be recruited from those couple of companies, looking for jobs with those companies when they leave, and starting consulting firms and lobbying firms that will be contracting with those couple of companies. Those companies will also have Congress's ear when regulation is discussed because they are donating so much. They are the experts.
