I think this is the case. Otherwise, you could just input your zip and see quotes. Also, if this were hurting prices overall, then I should be able to routinely just click on `Other Sellers` and find price+shipping to be less than prime.

Usually, if it is cheaper at all, it's for a week plus delivery and only a few percent cheaper in total. Most of the time though, it's actually still more expensive.

I've also bought from sellers off of Amazon as they offered coupon codes and paypal purchases. It's not ideal, but it seems possible to get around this. I think it's easier for manufactures that sell direct than resellers though.

Well, that's not a segfault. It's more likely that it's being compiled with an incorrect/specific architecture (e.g. using AVX2 instructions). Though it really shouldn't be using such instructions for basic math. It is possible the instruction pointer is getting messed up too.
Amazon is no longer trustworthy. You can't buy something and feel confident you'll get what you ordered. Sure, MOST of the time you will, but it only takes 1-2 fakes to really shake the trust.

Just looking for an item and finding 15 of the same one at wildly different price with different description really makes you scratch your head. What's the difference, is there one?

Then the killer for me is how they mix inventory from sellers. It doesn't matter how much I trust a certain vendor, what I buy may not be their inventory anyway, so a single bad apple can mess it up for everyone.
Perhaps it'll hop onto someone else's WiFi.

I have the report behind Phoenix, Arizona’s early-1980’s lighting ordinances. Orange sodium lights had many advantages over the lights they replaced beyond the energy improvements.

The archive mentioned here was supposed to be picked up by the Internet Archive. I'm not sure of current status but it's worth looking into.

The Vanderbilt Television News Archive doesn't provide footage to the public, but it does include rundowns of national news programmes for every broadcast episode dating to 1965. As a tool for researching "top-of-the-news" items in text-searchable form, that's quite useful.
My biggest gripe with Amazon is the low level substitution they do or allow sellers to get away with. Sometimes you buy something that shows 15 ounces but receive something that is 12.5 ounces or something is swapped out for a cheaper version (California olive oil for some global mix olive oil). Then you have to waste your time for requesting a refund or discount or whatever. Amazon is great for certain things, but I've found their service is way different from major metros like the Bay Area to other smaller metros (like Sacramento).

>You "know" all that, but do you actually __know__ all that.

Companies that underpay fullstack web developers usually don't actually care if their engineers __know__ all that, either. They just want the cheapest, fastest, CRUD app they can demo and ship out ASAP. As a result, these employers fail to recognize (and reward!) the fullstack web developers who do actually __know__ the full stack.

At my last job there was a rockstar web developer engineer who could easily double their compensation by moving to a larger company instead of a startup. My advocacy for them to get a raise or promotion was cast as 'the engineer is complaining again."
As a consumer, I've been !@#$%'ed a few times when I've bought from Amazon and didn't notice it was a 3rd party seller with their own shipping method. One time, I was !@#$% to the tune of a few hundred bucks.

Ah, thanks for setting me straight. I just noticed the core dump and assumed a segfault.

And thanks for fixing the two issues so fast.
I look at it this way:

Most likely the code I write has a bug in it. Or, at the time of writing, the customer requirement is fuzzy. Or, I have a limited grasp of the problem domain. Even if it is not any of the above, most likely there will be a change in a business requirement that impacts the code.

So whenever possible, I opt to write code that is either stupidly obvious, trivially testable, or easily replaceable.

That’s exactly the point. It’s not evil Amazon that had some magical power to crush Walmart - a company that has been around forever. It’s the incompetence of Walmart, Target, etc.
I think overall Amazon is making a mistake. When I interviewed with them a few years ago, they were well aware of the risk of short-term best choices being bad in the long term (can't elaborate due to NDAs).

For instance, in the short term it's better to take the loss instead of investigate. But that then makes your platform an easy pick for fraudsters, so you end up with way more fraud and way more costs overall. If you were a bit more thorough and spotted scammers better, you would have a higher cost _per incident_ but lower cost overall in the long term.

This is particularly true if you are such a big player that you are the market in practice (so general equilibrium effects cannot be ignored anymore). And reminds me a bit of what eBay did in the past (sided with buyers almost every time without investigating, and made selling much more difficult).
>I don't know why full stack webdevs are paid so poorly. No really, they should be paid like half a mil a year just base salary. Fuck they have to understand both front end AND back end AND how different browsers work AND networking AND databases AND caching AND differences between web and mobile AND omg what the fuck there's another framework out there that companies want to use? Seriously, why are webdevs paid so little.

Full stack compresses two jobs into one. It's purely for cost-savings. They're paid so little because companies revert to "well, you can still only do 8 hours, so you do half as much of each", but really that's just them trying to weasel out of paying for knowledge. They also blur the lines by putting full stack along-side other devs, even though the other devs may not have invested the same time to gain as much knowledge as full stack.

When you take a full stack job, you undervalue your knowledge (and the time invested) and are selling it for roughly half of what it's worth.

> Amazon uses its Buy Box algorithm to make sure that sellers can’t sell through a different store or even through their own site with a lower price and access Amazon customers, even if they would be able to sell it more cheaply. If they do, they get cut off from the Buy Box, and thus, cut off de facto from being able to sell on Amazon.

How exactly does Amazon achieve this? How can they tell that CheapGoods4u on Amazon is the same seller as BargainStuff4Less over on Walmart?

If they can't tell the sellers are the same company, they can't punish one for selling cheaper on another platform.

Where I work, for larger projects, we have business analysts or product managers who are supposed to help with converting the user request into some sort of specification.

If the project is a smaller one, then the developer is supposed to be acting in an analyst-developer type role. In my fairly limited experience the analyst part tends to take a back seat in these smaller projects.

I believe, though people are free to disagree, that it’s on the people developing the solution to ensure it satisfies the users needs. If the user is jumping to a solution, then it’s up to the team to take a step back and ensure the problem has been satisfactorily defined.

Note: I work on internal business apps used in a large corporation, and I have never worked on consumer facing apps.

Yes. The core database is fully Apache 2 licensed with no strings attached: https://docs.yugabyte.com/latest/legal/. Maybe it will change if the company behind feels they're ripped off. Who knows, but for now, yes, you could.

CockroachDB has an explicit clause is the licensing: Yes, employees and contractors can use your internal CockroachDB instance as a service, but no people outside of your organization will be able to use it without purchasing a license: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/v21.1/licensing-faqs.html....
Kind of obvious that you can't effectively ban this.

The best realistic option here, in my opinion, is to require sensible constraints. E.g. hard-wiring war zones in them - a separate circuit could prevent firing if the drone is outside certain area. You could decrease the attack surface for such system by relying on a Kalman filter getting it's data from a dedicated accelerometer and a compass.
It was a minor issue at the time and the second part should have been obvious to any half decent intelligence agency.

No, black neighborhoods were inner city. Suburbs were formed by white people who could afford the ongoing expense of cars and then kept people out via zoning as the cities decayed, and this trend accelerated after Brown vs. Board of Ed since everyone had to integrate school districts but suburbs remained lily-white as cities integrated.

The suburbanisation of poverty is very recent.

Imaging the Past with Time-Travel Rephotography
They are a monopoly and are being accused of being so because their mandatory policies forbid the merchants from selling that product anywhere else cheaper than Amazon.

This means that if I buy the product from say Walmart or Target, then I am paying 25 to 35% more for it. This is because the merchant cannot list it anywhere else cheaper than they list it on Amazon.

That is a clear violation of monopoly laws and I applaud that AG for his efforts to abolish these "most favored nation" status agreements.
So my first thought was, I can see why this would appeal to the seller, but why would a buyer prefer this to getting a loan? There must be some way this lower cost for the buyer.

My second thought was, I'd rather not sell my house if it meant someone was now going to directly benefit from my untimely death.
Doesn’t matter with commingling of inventory, you’ll get counterfeit items. I don’t buy certain items off Amazon like SD cards due to issues with counterfeit items. Also food products has issues, you’ll get items a month or two away from expiration.

If you watch all the videos on how to make money on Amazon. It involves buying liquidation items from places like TJ Maxx or other retailers selling second quality items. These items are commingled into regular inventory. The consumer ends up buying a second quality item for the “new” price.
The diffs are non-trivial (EDIT: only included changes in directories where conflicts are most likely to occur):

$ git diff --stat REL_11_2..REL_11_12 -- src/backend src/include ':!src/backend/po' | tail -1

Even if the conflicts are minor, it's going to be annoying to try to work it out. If you are hitting a specific crash, there's a good chance you can backport the fix cleanly, but I doubt you can just pull in all of the fixes proactively without some knowledge of the details of the fork.

I haven't really looked at the details... perhaps PolarDB already has many (or all) of the fixes since 11.2. Also I haven't actually tried a merge, I'm just assuming the difficulty based on the number of diffs (and my experience doing minor version merges in the past).

Whenever I see a chance to buy old industrial grade stuff I use it. Nearly everything they used to do lasts forever.

If a rich person went onto Amazon and bought something 50 times more expensive than anything else they’d ever purchased and claimed it didn’t arrive, Amazon would drop them like a hot potato.

You’re talking like there’s no legal recourse (or even financial, like a chargeback). There simple aren’t enough resources to track down the source of every sob story, the hard truth is this “inhuman” efficiency is a huge boon for the vast majority of us.

This is right for the drunken dev thoughts, but not for the Herodotus example. "In vino veritas" - in wine there is truth - means that people expose their true thoughts when they're drunk rather than the filtered version they might present when sober, but the story of the Persians is more about the fact that there's value in considering both drunk and sober reactions, particularly when they tally.
When fields are small, they can rely on much higher fidelity signals for hiring (having significant interactions with the individuals at conferences and workshops, for instance). I did my PhD in a sub field of nuclear physics, and even though I only published one paper in my PhD, I got a job offer at an Ivy League university because I had done extensive work with their group in collaboration, and the group leaders liked me.

However, now that many research fields are so massive that it is impossible to personally know the majority of individuals, institutions need other ways of judging individuals. The number of papers published is a weak signal, but it’s better than nothing. Now that it’s being so heavily gamed by so many individuals, that signal strength is decreasing even more.

There’s also a second strong corrupting factor that many, if not most, of these individuals do not want to become professors, they want to get a high paying job in industry, which means their short term output is far more important to them than their long term reputation in the field.

I honestly don’t know what can be done to fix this that wouldn’t have negative side effects. But perhaps the side effects would be better than the situation we are in now.

It's a shame; as far as I can tell, the only reasonably-priced source for bulk machine screws that I've been able to find was Aliexpress/Alibaba (depending on quantities), and even that has gone to shit with the new import tax rules.
