> EU has companies in all businesses and in many many fields the market leaders.

I think this is an increasingly optimistic view.

The EU cannot even begin to compete with big US, Canadian, Chinese tech companies. It just doesn't have the drive or initiative to do so. And now that almost everything is a big tech company... the outlook looks bit worrying.
Possibly of interest to HN readers, California state employee salaries are all public, including UC and CSU professors.
Bytedance uses Rust extensively in Feishu/Lark (which competes with Microsoft Teams). It is even listed at https://www.rust-lang.org/production/users

From what I read (in Chinese), this "Monoio" is meant to be used for the proxy/whatever part of their next-generation service mesh. So maybe a corp-wide thing.
Not you, Google, in their reply on the linked reddit thread.
uring is used for disk-IO as well, and Windows disk I/O completion has similar limitations as Linux aio does for disks, i.e. anything that actually goes into filesystem code, like allocating new blocks, creating files, anything involving metadata, still blocks. Readiness-oriented I/O of course doesn't work for disk I/O at all, because disks are always ready. And IOCPs still mean that for queuing new I/O you're going to call into the kernel at least once for each operation.

A marketplace maker can't have its own shop,
a marketplace maker can't have its own delivery service,
a marketplace maker can't have its own payment processor.

To me the biggest problem with these kinds of platform is information asymmetry. Amazon literally knows about every credit card number and every shipment and every product ever sold, while the customer can't even trust if the numbers on a seller's page are legit or just the result of scams, or if the price didn't change 5 seconds before they clicked on the product page.
The only stategy to rebalance the market is to REQUIRE every company to be as CLUELESS as possible about what happens on their platform, so basically enforce PRIVACY.

Amazon should only know which sellers are on the platform and their catalog of products. It shouldn't know my address or my purchase history.
The sellers should only know which of their products are selling. They shouldn't know my address.
The shipment company should only know my address and what the package broadly is about. It shouldn't know exactly what I have bought or that the purchase was done through Amazon.

All of this could be achieved with a well made public key cryptography architecture and open APIs for being a customer, seller, payment processor and shipment company.
Let's take an example: a seller wants to sell on Amazon.
1 - they create a key pair
2 - they tell Amazon their public key
3 - when I click on the seller's page I receive the public key and now the traffic is encrypted between us, Amazon can see nothing
4 - the seller has chosen the shipment company(s) and payment processor(s) and gives me their public key at the moment of purchase
5 - the customer encrypts the credit card info with the payment processor pubkey, encrypts the shipping info with the shipping company's pubkey and encrypts everything with the seller's pubkey
6 - the seller now delivers the information to the payment processor and shipment company
7 - the shipment company tells the seller how much the package is going to cost and the payment processor tells the seller if the payment has been concluded successfully
8 - the seller prints the tracking paper's encrypted QR code and the shipment company proceeds to deliver it to the customer

So what would be Amazon's role in all of this?
They should provide a website and/or app that just works across all platforms imaginable and is fast and stable and good looking.
They should manage the identities of sellers so customers know they are buying from real people, but nothing more.
Lastly they should collect a fee for every transaction.
E-commerce should be reliable and automated, not a privacy horror fest filled with ads, bogous suggestions and shady practices and policies

I'd be interested to know what this is! Is it something I can use?

Apologies I did it again there -- 1% of a single quarter's revenues is not a lot to pay. I mistakenly typed income when I meant to type revenue there like I meant previously.

I agree that this is interesting, and at a minimum the visual design is right on track.

I think you might consider running (and or selling) this like an audio blog, where the content comes from guest bloggers. In that way, you can capture/curate the best content for the “forum.” You could gamify it to promote contributions.

Think: somewhere between a regular forum and YouTube, what value is there in an audio platform like this? And how do you maximize the value of the content while minimizing the effort required to make it great?

Brainstorm on the business model. There is something in this. Good luck.
I would not trust things like `ls -sf` to be thread-safe either.

For shell scripts, a reasonable approach is to use a (correctly implemented) lock file at the start, then a bunch of `test` (aka `[`) blocks to check things. That does a decent job of documenting, too. Vs. everyone who looks at the script needing to know the less-common command line options.

Then, in the bigger picture, make sure that nobody else's script - maybe with its own lock file - starts overlapping with your script.
On a logical level, public rankings are almost always a bad idea because they incentivize hardcore gaming of the system. On an emotional level though, they are a fantastic idea because we're always looking for simple heuristics to make quick judgements by
You can guarantee it, but you're asking Amazon to guarantee it on your behalf, which they don't want to do, because they don't know that you can keep your promises.
Yes the lifetime out of my old one has been great, so I am pretty confident I'll get the same lifespan out of my other 2016 one no problem.

I'll ponder what device to get next since I might just get a Mac Mini at home. I already have a gaming/development PC and a Linux Pi so I can keep up to date on each OS/system and just use a very cheap "stealable" laptop for out-and-about but can connect home.

> or even lowered the consumption of tobacco products in india? absolutely not.

Ok, I think we'll need a quote for that. Various sources indicate falling percentage of smokers in recent years.
Unless you know better, this will also go to pay public health care and public education (among many other things as will be added money to the state revenue)

The rest is just false allegations
The 3rd party seller opts into this bundling as a benefit to offer their customers, though, right? No one is forcing seller X to use FBA or Amazon’s platform at all; they’re doing it because customers prefer it now that they see what’s possible.

To me (in the US), Prime was magical when it first rolled out. It lowered the friction and raised my expectations for online commerce in general. When other players followed suit, my life got even better. Now, someone charging $20 to get me a package “maybe next week; you’ll get it when you get it” is wildly uncompetitive rather than being the accepted standard.
Every app vendor who sells a phone product in the US? Uh, yes? It’s the law. 911 Call centers literally make testing available for this. And all you really need to test is that you’re making the outbound call properly without shit hitting the fan.

What’s the alternative? Just have 911 calls fail every once in a while since everybody is too busy with their feature work to look into it?
That sounds like a feature to me.

If I was hanging out with a friend in person and they kept showing me pictures of other stuff in their life I'd get bored pretty quickly. If I'm hanging out with someone, I want to be talking with them and doing stuff with them, not getting a slideshow of their most glamorous recent moments.

Each to their own, I guess, but I find the normal mode of interaction on "social media" (including all that photo sharing and commentary) to be super weird and undesirable.
I feel like you’re being obtuse. They would need to verify that the call can be made and make it out the phone to the network, not actually make the call to a 911 operator. This can be part of an automated test suite even. Just ensure specific phone numbers cannot be intercepted by applications and diverted.
>I think that it is equally likely that landlords will first raise the rents to try to stay in business.

They might try and they certainly would threaten but if they jack up rents and as a result can't get any tenants then they're in an even worse position than before as they have an LVT bill and no income to support it.

Without a restriction in supply or an increase in demand (neither of which would happen), rents can't go up.

It would cause a precipitous decline in property values and a lot of landlords (mostly amateurs) would scramble to sell up and get out of the landlording business as it became more like an actual business and less of a license to print money.
They want you to buy the PRO version which leverages the availability but makes it actually look decent. It's meant only as a demo so you can check compatibility I guess.

> I may have confused it with another EU country

Which other EU country requires paper document to enter a store?
This is a classic in America when calling Europe or International.

The dial out in corporate, usually you used 9. Then you google how to dial in Europe because the numbers are not natural. Google mentions dial 11 + country code + phone number.

So people hit 9 to dial out, then 11 to dial in Europe. Instantly you hear: Emergency 911, is this an emergency?

The dialer is like: no I'm trying to call Europe.

Hard to beat Amazons search function in pure suck, so probably never?

I am not sure what Amazon provides specifically that should make it stand out, I generally end up using third party sites to search for what I need and only end up buying at Amazon when it turns up near the top of the results.
The comparison here is not Amazon vs Zalando, it's Amazon vs the typical marketplace seller, which is either an italian small business or a chinese seller or european dropshipper shipping directly from China.

One of the reasons why I bought an Amazon Ring + its monitoring subscription is to have a redundancy if something goes wrong at home. It's just easier to sleep feeling safer knowing I can reach to its panic button in the control pad and get in touch with someone, in case of an emergency (the alarm system has internal battery and has redundancy using cellular data).
I think the problem is exactly the opposite.
That's what I meant by 'special', say you had a 118 for some other purpose, you couldn't dial it (unless also special cased as not needing a 9 dial-out prefix) as 9118.
Yeah, although Privacy as a Service is never guaranteed to be private.

>I look forward to reading the second part, especially if it’s going to argue that tenants will somehow be able to use the land without paying the land rent.

Tenants already pay a 100% land value tax. They just pay it direct to landlords.

All an LVT would do is redirect this flow of wealth into community/city/state coffers rather than to land / mortgage backed security owners.

“Everyone was out horsing around, shopping, dining out, ignoring the mandates, and there was zero enforcement. Everything was half assed and even the politicians were flouting the rules. All talk and no action.”

That’s because everyone can see now that there are no bodies piling up in the streets, and while hospitals are busy they’ve still not been truly overwhelmed - even though we’ve been repeatedly told that they would be for 20 months. Life is too precious to let it slip by without living.

As for the lack of enforcement, good! If politicians go the “do as I say, not as I do” route, there’d be civil unrest, and rightfully so.
https://cleartax.in/s/impact-of-gst-rate-on-the-tobacco-indu...

"Impact on the tobacco industry is going to be largely neutral since the 5% cess declared by the Indian government was less than the expected rate by the tobacco industry. There will be an increase in the expense of smokers due to the rise in the price of a cigarette in the initial period. Although, it is expected that the tobacco industry, irrespective of the tax rate, would have a neutral effect due to the implementation of GST."

https://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/low-tobacco-tax-poor-...

"The lack of tax increases in post-GST years might mean that some current smokers smoke more now and some non-smokers have started smoking. This could potentially lead to a reversal of the declining trend in prevalence. This might jeopardise India’s commitment to achieving 30% tobacco use prevalence reduction by 2025 as envisaged in the National Health Policy of 2017 by the Government of India."

What more is there to the story?

My understanding is the jury decided that the primary issues was that the warning was not large enough on the cup, and that's why they awarded damages.

I can't really understand being served a cup of hot coffee and complaining that you were not warned that it was hot. Coffee is a hot drink. There’s a natural limit at how hot it can be at 100 degrees, so I don’t really understand ‘too hot.’ What did you expect? You must have known it would be between 0 and 100 degrees and acted accordingly.

Subsequent lawsuits have re-inforced that the coffee was served at a reasonable temperature, and the temperature is the same as served at Starbucks, and recommended by independent coffee groups. My understanding is that McDonald's serve at the same temperature today.

I think the idea that the coffee was 'too hot' is a bit weird and a bit of a myth.
> why did you ever expect the top executives of a multi-million (or in this case, trillion) dollar corporation to care about anything but profits and their own well-being?

Perhaps he expected his government to incentivize/compel them to look at more than just profits? You know, like China is successfully doing. While shady when it comes to foreign influence, it is an absolutely legitimate approach for domestic companies, instead of allowing them to sell out their home country for short-term gain in the name of free markets, that the West was duped into believing is the only moral policy.
I am as much with you as anyone to fine the tech companies but knowing Italy and how corrupt the bureaucrats are there including from their highest level of government to lowest petty officers, I find it a bit hypocritical. OK so Amazon has dominance but over who? Italy has become such a pariah country after last financial crisis I would be surprised if no one even wants to do business there. Italian government of course will oblige, they will happily see their people rot and suffer as they have done over last 20yrs. Ask any of the Italian diaspora, there is not a single thing positive that has happened there in last 10-15yrs. Aside from the Pope.

Can’t seem to reply any deeper on the thread, but also I never specifically mentioned CI. The only rule is that if you release a phone app, 911 has to work 100% of the time, no exceptions. That is the law. Also, this is Google and Microsoft, both of whom have basically unlimited resources. However they figure out how to do it reliably is up to them. Note that no other apps or service providers seem to be out of compliance.
