The crux of the article was that you lose winning the buy offer if you sell elsewhere cheaper. Okay - so who wins the buy box? Someone who is actually offering a cheaper price, one that’s more enticing for me as the shopper?

How is that hurtful for the consumer? You’re calling that “punishment”, but in fact as a shopper I just want to see the lowest price with the fastest shipping.

The seller fee bit part isn’t relevant. Wal Mart and Target or any other site could well offer lower seller fees - in fact, they’d HAVE to undercut Amazon in order to catch up with Amazon. But that doesn’t mean Amazon has to bring their prices down. I don’t buy that.

One other thing - as a shopper, no other shopping website comes close to Amazon’s customer service.

There is quite a bit to this article that’s disingenuous, for example -

> How do sellers handle these large fees from Amazon, and the inability to charge for shipping? Simple. They raise their prices on consumers. The resulting higher prices to consumers, paid to Amazon in fees by third party merchants, is why Amazon is able to offer ‘free shipping’ to Prime members. Prime, in other words, is basically a money laundering scheme. Amazon forces brands/sellers to bake the cost of Prime into their consumer price so it appears like Amazon offers free shipping when in reality the cost is incorporated into the consumer price.

If pricing on Amazon is too high, consumers won’t buy those products at Amazon and get rid of their Prime memberships too. But this isn’t quite true. Using hyperbole like “money laundering” also doesn’t help the case.

> Amazon also uses its bazooka of cash from Prime members paying high consumer prices, laundered through third party sellers, to distort industries across the economy.

Again, hyperbole. The author merely brushes off the fact that these sellers don’t HAVE to sell on Amazon in the first place. Presumably, Amazon is growing because more and more sellers flock to their website. If it’s a bad deal for sellers, they can sell on other websites. The article makes a one line claim - representing it as a ground truth - that a new business HAS to sell on Amazon. So this is clearly stating that no business can survive if they only have their own store presence or sell on Amazons competitors. I don’t believe this is true (based on a very successful family business). Yes my data point is anecdotal, but if we’re saying no business can survive without the ability to sell on Amazon, then the entire article is moot - the simple reason for breaking up Amazon is that no small business can survive without Amazon.

Again, I don’t think that’s true, and the author knows that - hence, the long wordy article to come at the issue from other angles while sprinkling in hyperbole.
I got a replacement seat version when I had my bathroom redone. I figured that, if it breaks down I can simply replace it rather than potentially have to have some specialist come to the house. (And, as it turned out, it did stop working properly post-warranty although as I replaced it I was suspicious the plumber just didn't install it properly. Which given the plumber's work generally would not have been a surprise.)

But, yeah, the big cost for most people outside of a remodel situation is the need to have a proper outlet installed.

Google has that covered since many of those behind CGN are also on networks with native ipv6. Many mobile networks have already made the switch - dual stack to the handset with native ipv6 and ipv4 handled via CGN.

At best, this sounds like a euphemism to me, and at worst, it seems like Amazon doesn't want to log such information. If Amazon cared to keep track of counterfeit returns, they'd make it an explicit option.

Honestly, it feels like Amazon is intentionally not keeping explicit records of the counterfeits they sell because of their potential liability and the fact that such records would make Amazon look bad in depositions.
Please tell me you have a blog, and if so, its URL.
That's not what positive sum means. Both stocks and crypto are positive sum though.

Whenever someone buys a stock someone else sells it, one's loss is the other's gain. That would make it zero sum but the company has the option to issue new shares, akin to the fed printing money or a new bitcoin being minted in a block, that makes both games positive sum.
I had a Toto washlet installed on a toilet for around 15 months. When I uninstalled it, I was prepared for the worst, but it was fine underneath. You just clean the seat and lid like any other toilet, with paper towels and some kind of spray cleaner, it's fine.

When your hand is full of lets say chocolate... do you feel you can do a "reasonable" job cleaning your hands with dry paper towels?

Think about it for second...

That's why bidet seats ( and the often overlooked spray bidets ), are vital to good bum hygiene :)
But that’s exactly the point. It is too easy to introduce a code change that effectively will unpredictably (because it was unintended) change a type to something unexpected. And then blow up much later in spectacular ways.

Try writing something asynchronous in python with futures and complex nested data types. See how long you enjoy being told that you’re trying to look up a key in something that doesn’t seem to be a dictionary before you switch to static typing with mypy, and can spend your energy on solving the real problems.

I’ve been programming for way over 20 years, and I do not understand how people enjoy debugging something that the compiler would just tell them.
Not sure if you consider Finland a Scandinavian country, but they have handheld sprays installed next to all toilets specifically to wash their butts.
Hmm, there's a lesson hidden somewhere here about junior developers itching to implement everything in multi-region distributed services, because Google does it that way.
Brondell Swash SE600. Enough said.
It's true in Turkey. Never seen a toilet without integrated bidet there. Since I moved from there, it became a common reoccurence that colleagues returning from toilet smelling poo. Yikes...
If your butt smells at all, it's not useless.

> Plus... this is something maybe only a CAD user can understand - McMaster Carr provides an outright sex bible of importable 3D CAD objects.

Luckily many suppliers are doing this. Misumi for example has plugins for CAD packages like Solidworks that even generate CAD parts for parts with custom configurations (like aluminum extrusion cut to size) so going from assembly to BOM to purchase order is a few clicks.
It seems like a lot of them contain largely public info from unclassified manuals, but also have a few base-specific things thrown in that cause the problem.

For example [1] is basically a standard police academy study guide, but it also has the names of which armored car services are allowed entry to post, which parking lots are used for storage of nuclear materials during Safe Haven event, [2] has real world and exercise countersigns mixed in with non-sensitive form names and acronyms. Another one had a list of duress words (all named after spices), though it says these are changed every six months. A lot of stuff you could guess easily but still identifies weaknesses (ex. school buses can get on base with a district badge, which is nowhere near as hard to copy as a CAC). [3] has the location of a SCIF. Some other ones had room numbers of buildings containing information networking infrastructure (no public map, but googling the building number returned a picture of the facility from the architect's site).

I'm not military, so I'm curious how big of a deal this is relatively? Like is this stuff that a credible attacker could easily find out anyway or is it actually a major weakness?

Having used both induction cooktops and gas burners for years, you can pry my gas range knobs from my cold dead hands. Induction cooktops create a set of constrains on use that gas ranges don't have.
I have a Macap M5D. This has a timer with three presets. It’s perfect and while expensive, even second hand, I wouldn’t say it’s overkill for home use. The timer means I don’t get the grind wrong. I’m not sure why you wouldn’t want one. I suppose I’m quite good at ‘eyeballing’ the quantity now, but the timer means consistency.
> That seems like legitimately monopolistic behavior and something that is illegal and should be stopped.

IIRC they do something like it with books through Kindle Direct Publishing: you have to sell on Amazon at the lowest price available anywhere, or else they take a much bigger cut.

It will probably be argued that Amazon isn’t actually a monopoly in these areas, therefore it’s not an abuse of monopoly. I’m only half joking.

My rule of thumb for tools is to always first buy the cheapo Harbor Freight special (I'll get something a little better for precision tools) and if that tool breaks then that means I use the tool enough to justify getting something better.

Spoiler alert: most of my tools are the cheapest I could find.
Restaurant supply stores are a great place to get kitchenware. Some of it doesn’t work in a home kitchen (for instance, you probably don’t want your smallest Tupperware to be a quart). Some of it, though, is perfect. My favorite purchase has been a huge cutting board with rubber grip material on one side and rulers printed on the other. It’s thick plastic so it’s never warped despite repeatedly putting it in the dishwasher.

If you’re lucky enough to live near one that lets consumers buy food, too, that’s great. 20 pounds of very high quality pasta for like $8 or $10.
The cybertruck won't meet milspec because it runs solely on battery power. A military vehicle needs to be able to run in expeditionary environments with the ability to store and carry extra fuel for long range operations and refuel quickly. Neither one of those requirements can be met by a battery vehicle.
I suspect you're undervaluing the impact of monopoly on those businesses. Google and Amazon are barely competing with anybody - when they were trying to win their position, there was a lot of value in keeping you happy. Now, not so much
I never said it doesn't matter. I said it matters. What I'm saying is the scenario you're portraying literally cannot play out pretty much by definition (and also empirically, from what I've seen) unless you accept that code readability for juniors is secondary to program quality. When you make readability your primary concern, it comes at the cost of fixing certain bugs and design issues... precisely because the best solutions may not t be trivial or easy to understand by the junior folks 100% of the time. So you never get into your purported state where everything was well designed and implemented in the first place and now you have to worry about getting a junior to fix a bug. Everything ends up clunky from the get-go and you never get a high-quality, robust program at all. Just something of mediocre quality with a ton of patches from devs of all level to get something like 85% working, shipping with know issues you could've avoided if you hadn't artificially restricted yourself and tied your hands behind your back for the sake of the juniors.
i hope you're not flushing the wet wipes and contributing to the fatberg problem or risking your own plumbing.
Can confirm, as part of the wudu or pre-prayer washing ritual, you are required to rinse your privates with water if you have not done so or used the restroom since your last prayer. Often times this is done with a bidet. Watering pots are also common :D

> Even they are often diluted into autocracy.

That doesn't make them necessarily bad leaders

> percentage wise democracies are winning in the long term

Democracies are the most stable of governments. I assume you mean they're winning in that case. But as far as the decision-making in the government goes democracies tend to be slow to respond and tend to prefer non-complex and low-risk solutions. Autocracies "do as they please", which can take them to great heights (or great lows, depending on the person in charge).
Note though "tending to" doesn't mean those are constrained from making big steps, that's only a general observation.
Don’t touch the bidet with your hands? The nozzle and water are clean. Not sure what you’re worried about there.
Except that commercial vacuum cleaners are huge, loud and cost 3x as much as a good consumer vacuum cleaner.

But the bags are bigger.
Too many 80s and 90s kids into goth when they went to college but came out as English majors. I think for the most part however instructors just follow a template teaching method and don't change it. I mean, why the hell else do we still make kids read Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn? They are some of the most boring pieces of American literature to date, not even good historical novels. To Kill A Mockingbird does a better job and even that goes way over kids heads.

A lot of these comments are not fond of the author's arrogance... Which seems to be a little nitpicky.

The techniques won't work if you use them verbatim because someone else who has read the book will recognize it.

He simplifies things to a set of rules, but it's up to you to be judicious on when to use them and to do your homework on what the underlying principles are.
A tiny corollary/anecdote: Every time the person who used to live here forgets and ships a book to my address, I call Amazon, they say “oh sorry”, and they instruct me to recycle/dispose of it and won’t accept a return of the still-unopened envelope. I’m not sure how this ties into LTV on the refunds side, but it feels like a sort of hidden incentive that’s not well known.
As I said in another ranty response in this thread, I do not understand how people enjoy spending time debugging trivial issues, that even a simple static type system would just plain tell them at compile time.
I read your list. It’s very comprehensive.

I’d wager an average person from any previous century would trade places with you in a heartbeat.

Indeed, I bet an average resident of many third-world countries would do the same.

In fact, I bet the average resident of the average trailer park ten miles from where you live would trade places with you.
There's even more. In the beginning you are proud if the code _works_. Later you find out it's 10x harder to write code that _can't fail_...
I'm fairly certain you're confusing easy (less death, more ability) with simple (the actual hours that go into an 'easy' life).
yea, the worst part is that the mistake isn't often realized until after the initial implementation is complete and it's time to iterate. The barrier to entry is very low so people don't bother taking the time to understand how it works until it's too late.

Flushable Wipes.

I used bidets growing up (discrete unit as well as seat integrated) and 99% of the time it worked but the 1% of the time when someone's poop got stuck to the fountain head/tube was enough to turn me off. However, wiping your anus with dry toilet paper, especially if you're a grown adult with a hairy anus, is bound to leave your own poop smear on your own anus, so these days i use flushable wipes. Works too if you're using a porta potti - just carry flushable wipes with you.
> This is a strange claim since the entire field was founded upon the investigation of potentially (and often actually) infinite computations.

To me, that is not that surprising, although it's a good point.

My view has to do with history of mathematics. People were fascinated with infinities long time before they considered that large but finite systems can be also interesting. I think applications of mathematics, mainly geometry and physics, are responsible too.

The development of more finitist taste in problems (somebody else mentioned the constructivism, which I think is fitting) came with the practical need to do computations and developing algorithms.

So I am not that surprised that one of the early forays into theory of computation are through the lens of infinite, rather than finite.

> Most importantly though, my problem with this kind of discussion is that the question itself is meaningless.

Of course, I forewarned that it's just my view, and you're free to ignore it.

Look, partly why I mention it, it seems rather surprising to me; I would consider infinite structures to be more complicated, in some sense; yet, in the history of mathematics (which lately includes CS, as a study of large but finite), these were studied first. There was nothing that would prevent Ancient Greeks (or Euler) from discovering, say, lambda calculus, or how to do sorting efficiently. Although, it seems in many fields we progress from more complicated to simpler methods, in some way. But I think it's partly precise because the finite is often considered uninteresting by mathematicians, it was overlooked. And that's the philosophical point I am trying to emphasize. Different fields of math perceive (in the way they treat them) the same structures differently, and I gave an example of natural numbers. Another example is the notion of the set cardinality, in most areas of mathematics people only care about countable/uncountable distinction.
I get all that, however I am saying that they’re being superstitious about it. I’ve been programming at least 20 years and thoroughly love programming in a dynamic language. My preferred being Common Lisp.
What's wrong with that? An employee in a far away country can only offer his or her programming skills. A well-spoken presentable employee in the HQ, available on a quick notice, brings a lot more value to the table. It's not the knowledge of the C++ standard that makes the difference between 50k/year and 500k/year
Driving is certainly the most stressful activity I’m doing on a regular basis - the stakes are really high, death is just a few seconds away. It feels strangely archaic to have this level of risk built into day to day life. I recently got a car with modern safety features and life really feels safer just because of that. I know that the car will start beeping if I drift off course, and on the highway it’s quite unlikely to crash into the car in front of me.
Using a toilet without a bidet is the equivalent to stepping barefoot into dog crap, the crap gets all in between your toes, and then you use dry paper towels to clean off.

Disgusting.

Because the "pressures" in industry is that you get fired if you don't do the work you're hired to do. There's still a modicum of "academic freedom" in academia, the freedom to pursue your research interests, whatever those may be. In industry, you pursue your employer's interests and if they are not also your interestes, tough.

Speaking in this with the experience of working in the industry for a few years, then going into academia, precisely because I got bored doing other peoples' work and I wanted to do what I'm interested in.
European activists have started using BIPOC as well. They don’t seem to realize that indigenous means white in Europe.
Thanks!

I think that at the end of the day it comes down to being raw and completely honest with oneself. Most of us have the huge privilege of having a say in where our lives are going and my fear is that we entrepreneur tend (or have?) to have some rose-color glasses and always assume that we'll be part of that 10% that makes it.

If after a naked-honest conversation with yourself starups is for you, I wish you all the success in the world and a fulfilled life!
I am a huge fan of highly durable equipment, but one thing to watch out for is that comfort/ergonimics are often sacrificed for the sake of simplicity and duribility. Ask anyone who has spent time in a military vehicle. Those things can take a beating and are made to be repaired quickly and sent back out for more. But a quite comfortable ride they are not.... Sometimes that no-compromise toughness is exactly what you want. In other situations there is real value in creature comforts.

For example, I have an old '97 F250 that is as basic of a model as you can possibly get. Regular cab, bench seat, manual everything from the windows to the transmission. It is a beast and will take whatever you give it. It is simple and easy to fix when something breaks, but it is also crazy loud, rough, and uncomfortable to be in. Perfect for getting work done, but for a cross-country trip with my wife and kids I would opt for the minivan any day.
This is not generally true, but strongly depends on the domain.
