Sure it does not naturally provide a better service, but does the better service this come from its dominance position or dominance is a consequence of that?

I mean marketplace vendors could offer the same level of service customer expect from the Prime label products and Prime would lose its competitive advantage.

That same Google that uses their monopoly in search to push their other product lines? Such as Chrome, shopping, 'information snippets', news, social networks and a whole raft of other mediocre products that wouldn't even exist if not for their monopoly on search?

Not finding value in Google's offerings is not what it is about: it is about abuse of monopolistic power, and Google is very guilty of that.

For gmail it is that simple. They've already solved providing unique URLs for all the internal app paths I bothered checking.

A bit of a cliché example, but it never gets old: take a leaf from Leonardo da Vinci's book, or rather his notes! — all of which are digitized here[1]; flip through them.

da Vinci was famous for getting merrily lost into rabbit holes and missing deadlines. He gets a commission for a painting, and slowly starts mixing paints for weeks. Then he has an epiphany about an interesting paint mix, and gets lost into mixing paints for weeks on end. He ends up not delivering on his commitment.

Another example: he spent a lot of time dissecting human corpses and horses and made many draft drawings. Then he declares in his notebook something like, "I'm going to write a treatise on human anatomy; it will be better than those created by surgeons because I can draw exploded views of arms and muscles from different angles." He never finishes it. But, he discovered[2] the functioning of the aortic valve in the heart!

In his notebooks[1], you'll also see his frustrated attempts at learning Latin, and many other fascinating examples.

Definitely read Walter Isaacson's bio of da Vinci; it's riveting.

Same thought from a slightly different perspective. Decades ago I built a networking stack from scratch. It's wasn't wonderfully reliable. Years later I figured out why. I was wet behind the ears back then, and I put my faith in ARCnet's 16 bit CRC. Had I put aside that blind faith for just a few seconds and looked at how many packets per second that we being sent versus the number that would get through then - well I didn't.

I'm going to claim it wasn't entirely my fault. ARCnet did automatic resends for you so if fixed what the CRC detected, and silently what it didn't detect through. I had no idea the errors were happening.

ECC is nice, but as you say I don't need fancy hardware to correct a malfunctioning RAM chip. I can do that perfectly well with a hammer. What I need is the hardware to tell when and where to deploy the hammer. Things were actually better 30 years ago - back then PC RAM had parity. It's cheap, fast and effective enough. I have no idea what went wrong.
I tried looking at it briefly and the first thought that hit me is if someone except MeWe[1] is finally trying to recreate the great parts of the social network part of Google+.

Would this be correct?

Edit: I searched HN and the only reference I could find to Kalido was your comment(!).

It looks so promising yet from the comment it doesn't seem like either something I shouldn't want to touch (like Something Awful) or something that wouldn't survive long.

Is there anyone here either you or anyone else who wants to share some lore?

Edit 2: It seems on a closer look to look more like a weird enterprise cross breed between linkedIn and Google+, not a general social network. Still interested to hear more about it, I feel I am reasonably well informed about such software and yet this has slipped by.

[1]: I had great hopes for MeWe, but last I checked they were still lacking a great deal IMO, especially in that they don't seem to see the value of not broadcasting my actual identity to everyone.

> I mean marketplace vendors could offer the same level of service customer expect from the Prime label products

If they do, they don't get special highlighting of that on the marketplace though, that's the point of the complaint. Having "Amazon Prime" on a listing is a distinction between you and an arbitrary other third-party seller who doesn't care, if your third-party fulfillment can match or beat Amazon Prime in service quality you don't get any indication of that on the listing.
Or, you start piling on taxes. 10% tax on cigs for a year, with a 2% compounded increase every year after.

In all likelyhood, it will never make up for the cost to the country - I once saw a detailed study on the costs in treatment, support for families, etc.

But at some point, poeple will start phasing out smoking by themselves.

Also, the black market will less likely develop, since it will remain legal. And will not change overnight.
And no 'special' ones (like 911)? e.g. 112. Relatedly, countries usually implement each other's codes for tourists' and children who watch foreign films' benefit - 999, 911, and 112 will all work in the UK for example.

And when you say area codes [can't] start with a 1, is that only when you include a 0 prefix?

Country codes can start with 1. There doesn't seem to be a +11~, but is it forbidden? Are there no US or Canada (+1) numbers that start with even a single 1?
>It's more appropriate to say that the EU is pro-competition.

No, they fear competition that comes from the outside, because Europe has no competing counterpart...in nearly everything.
[EDIT] did it again here -- revenue, not income.

I was very careful to avoid writing income for that very reason, I did not say that it was their income -- I said they "made" that much, which they did, they made that much revenue. It's in the link itself as well. 1% of quarterly revenue is still not a lot to pay.

Income can also be a misleading indicator to watch -- if you're going to make a royalty deal for example you'd better do it on revenue, not income.
Disincentivize similar behavior in the future.
Personally not a fan of using an app to browser something that contains that many links to the web. You're either stuck in the in-app browser (no bookmarks, etc.) or there is a lot of switching between the app and the browser.

I have an iOS device. The experience might be better on Android.

> And yes, I know that I don't need a blockchain to do good things, but I do need a blockchain to retire on having done good things. And more importantly, to live in a world that's full of people doing the same.

I don't think a case has been made for that yet. For example:

> We can implement webs of trust on chain and incentivize trusted individuals to validate whatever relationships between the chain and the real world that the NFT's represent.

This sounds amazing! Except it falls into a recursive problem. You need to trust the knowledge about the real world so you validate it but you also need to trust the validators so you need to validate them somehow and that reoccurs. You could argue that there is a social proof in terms of users vouching for one another a 'web of trust' but those are easily gamed. You exchange explicit centralization for implicit centralization so not only have the issues of a centralized institution anyway but all the extant issues we see in crypto land in terms of fraud and so on. It's also veering into dystopian territory in terms of keeping an immutable reputation score about people which is deeply disturbing.

> what is so special about BitTorrent that means it hasn’t been replaced by a hierarchical system?

Every time a top of hierarchy node pops up too high it gets whacked by copyright enforcement. This is an effective pressure against centralisation. Otherwise every decentralised system tends to converge into central systems, like planets forming out of an accretion disk.

Surprisingly the copyright industry is far more effective at driving global law enforcement to do its bidding than the financial regulators are.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/THE_multiprogramming_system

I think you have to appreciate Dijkstra's comment on goto by the standards of the era he said it. FORTRAN/COBOL/assembly spaghetti code was the norm then. At the time, software problems were scaling extremely quickly. He (and many others) felt that managing complexity was the issue for future development. Modularity and code reuse were barely known. (FORTRAN at the time had an infamous "if less than goto 1, if equal goto 2, if greater goto 3" control flow construct -- and no other conditional control flow!)

The UNIX inventors cited Dijkstra's views on structured programming as crucial to the development of a large system like UNIX... even though they did add goto to C :)

Facebook killed it.

I keep it going, but no one really uses it.
Assuming they're able to play by the rules, they might just not be able to. We've seen Google fined over and over for things. I'm not sure Amazon would be different (I guess they have to to remain profitable or pull out).
It might be because of path normalization by your http client. For example, with `curl` you will also need to use `--path-as-is` to correctly test traversal. Another reason could be path normalization by the reverse proxy/WAF.

You can't create competition through regulation. Free markets allow competition and entrepreneurship creates it. You need both.

Regulations reduce competition by raising the bar to entry and the unforeseen consequences of compliance.

I don't know about the specifics of the US tax code.

> I think in principle, an income tax is similar to a land value tax in that both of them are trying to capture monopoly rents.

I don't know what that means. An income tax simply a uniform tax does not distinguish for type of income. "Monopoly rents" or whatever else.

You can read the details in "The Flat Tax: Updated Revised Edition"

> A bakery’s land taxes don’t go up at all if he puts in twice as much effort, whereas his income taxes would at least double. So LVT incentivizes work, making land value tax better than income tax.

What it actually does is make totally arbitrary value judgments on different types of income and totally distorts who pays what in totally random way based on a huge number of factor unique to each industry or trade. Its a harmful distortion of the price system. The justification for that are some 19th century theories about the special place for land that doesn't make sense.

The whole point of a flat tax is to not distort capital allocation. Anybody that earns more, pays more. That's it.
Nice, I had to reserve a top restaurant in Rotterdam the Netherlands by email, I believe I failed because of ProtonMail's "Undo send" feature, which I believe just delays actually sending the mail (I cannot think of any other way it would do it). Frustrating, I wish they had a nice API so I could have my unfair advantage. Privacy is for nerds, and soon, all the best restaurants are too ;) (but kuddos to OP for sharing this code.)
I don't know where you're getting that 1% number from, but it's off by 20x. Amazon's profit per quarter is about $5B.

Fines are there for good valid reason?

Rarely they change behavior of companies, because fines are still peanuts compared to profit they gain by this.. so not really getting your comment.. they are relatively so small we cannot even call them fines.

Persistent data structures are, in my opinion, underrated. Not so much for every day programming tasks, but specifically for code that resembles planning/searching.

This is completely wrong, 1B is more like 1/3 of Amazon's global profits last quarter.

They might never profit enough from Italy to make up for this.

The problem with web3, and the reason so many people actively hate it, is that "grift" is the primary value. web1 was "decentralize by making everything free". web3 is "let a thousand scams bloom". You get kudos in cryptoland by making the number go up - when converted to dollars.

I ended up with an almighty Cassandra complex, and by the time I left I was almost prepared to believe that I was the source of the issues I flagged.

Hindsight, however, is everything - most of the engineering team left in my wake, and all that remains is a hollowed out core of sycophantic middle management. They went from an improbable 0% client churn to a revolving door of unhappy customers.

Truly, it was a shame - and remains so - for my sake, however, my departure was the best thing I could have done, as it saved what precious threads of sanity I had remaining. I still hope for the sake of the once-friend I started the business with that he yet learns something.

How does it go? For of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these: 'It might have been!'.
Considering those companies are American and the US doesn't really have a concept of nudging a company onto the righteous path via relatively small fines, we might see a lot more fines coming up. The US takes a different approach and imposes heavy fines from right the beginning.

Those warning shots from EU counties could very well be interpreted differently than they were meant to be.
You work under the impression that Italian laws, and the justice system that enacts them, are a set of coherent and logical measures defined to make life better for consumers and businesses.

As an Italian, let me assure you that it's a naive assumption. The country literally invented civil litigation 2000 years ago, they can go on arguing pretty much forever if they want to.

New laws come into effect all the time. Like the age of consent to have sex is determined by laws and has changed over time. Also some laws allow for grandfather clauses like seat belts in antique cars for example if your car is old enough you are exempt from needing to have them. Would you feel better if they worded the laws different? Say those born before 2008 are grandfathered clause to the old rules but those born after the new age to buy smoke is 110 years old. No it isn’t banning you but rather just raised the age limit a little. Lastly smoking is disgusting who cares if it feels like a nanny state, there are lots of things they do this with that we accept. We can’t buy explosives because that is dangerous and so is smoking.
