Well, the companies that promised that they could deliver the things they were advertising claimed to know.

What should have been done is to have many more missions where these technologies can iteratively been proven so that once you head into a larger project you have some idea of whats gone happen.

And you don't end up launching a telescope that already has 20 year old tech in it.

And the companies that did it made fine profit of course. Promise the moon, don't deliver, make profit. Not a good model.

Using what definition of "censorship"?

If you're going to define any removal action by a private company as "censorship", consider the following types of content which YouTube routinely "censors":

* Scam / spam content, like fake "double your cryptocurrency" streams

* A wide range of content "harmful to children", like violent cartoons featuring popular characters, or videos urging children to perform dangerous acts

* Videos containing nudity, hate speech, or excessive vulgar language

* Videos promoting or praising criminal / terrorist groups
Sold by Amazon and Fulfilled by Amazon seem to come out of the same box at the warehouse.

Unfortunately if you really need genuine products you simply cannot buy things off Amazon anymore.
But the vendor agrees to let Amazon set their prices in return for, essentially, being an Amazon-sponsored product. The vendor doesn't have to participate, in which case it can still set its own prices.

I can see the argument that it's price fixing if Amazon & the 3rd party both agree to sell at the same price, but even then I'm not sure it's anti-competitive or anti-trust when some other 3rd party can come in, see the higher prices, and decide to undercut them. Not unless Amazon get's all sellers of a product to agree, but the article doesn't directly allege that.

Our system is not a totally free market, we have consumer protection and antitrust regulations to avoid some of the possible negative outcomes there.
Hahaha, of course. You're thinking is that bitcoin is good, because there is no withholding. It is something stupid that paypal is doing, but do you think they do this because it is their hobby? Or maybe they enjoy the negative publicity? You exactly pinpointed one of the major problems with bitcoin: if you are scammed, there is no remedy.
I'm not so certain that'd be legal. The idea maybe would have a footing if wanting to prevent those who are actually infectious, e.g. requiring proof of a negative COVID test, and because these vaccines don't prevent infection - and may actually lead to it being easier to catch [and therefore spread] COVID - it isn't akin to a negative COVID test result.
This article is a mess, and doesn't make sense. It probably stems from the fact that it is from our favourite fear-porn modellers at Imperial College London.

2/3rds of your control group of previously covid positive individuals caught COVID for a second time, all in the span of 2 weeks? Bullshit!

The 2/3rds figure is clearly bullshit, and the article doesnt sufficiently explain it, and where it tries, it stinks to high heaven.

Think about it! All these people supposedly already had COVID, and they all got it again? 3500ish of 5000ish, Two thirds of the group in a two week period?

It's clearly an ideological organization, and I wouldn't be surprised if their self reporting pool of people aren't partially filled with bat shit crazy activists thinking they are saving lies by helping rig a study.
Where has this happened to you? I've been to the ER 6 times in the US and never waited more than 2 hours (pre-covid) in New Orleans, San Francisco, and New York.

The time I had to wait 2 hours in SF, with a kidney stone was not pleasant, but it was at 3 AM at a hospital that does charity for the homeless, so that was a bit exceptional.
I can not relate. To me, their ui is frustrating, the reccomendations aren't great, and when in offline mode you cannot search for an album, you must use a playlist or your entire library.

Very much considering spotify or any alternative
This is standard procedure among any large company in a market. Ideally, antitrust should be proven by actions and not by “see! Your employees say you dominate the market! Take that!”
Thank you! One of my main goals was making data processing in the command-line more accessible and intuitive. If you use a shell you can leverage an extensive array of tools. please take a look at the recipes in the Readme. The shell is many times underrated for data processing!

Right now you can use it in Jupiter Notebooks using a shell kernel like: https://github.com/takluyver/bash_kernel

On the mid-term, developing a spyql kernel is appealing because of syntax highlighting, code autocompleting, and more. But unless several people show interest on this, I should tackle other features first.
BT-W3 could be a solution.
They did bought the goods from him beforehand. And he agreed to sell. He should have considered the possibility that Amazon has option to later sell the items as a higher price. Isn't that obvious to any seller?
The fact that "lousy" is subjective in the examples given, and is being leveraged to make your point however you see fit, at least to me, discredits the point you're attempting to make.
Not it is not. It is common industry jargon for people who work with websites. Nobody else knows what it is. If you had to pick a term to sound as inoffensive as possible for fraudulent, deceptive conduct while still sort of capturing the thing without being abjectly false you could do no better than something that sounds like a colourscheme.

"Mr Politician what do you think about $big_co using dark patterns?"

"Mr Politician what do you think about $big_co engaging in predatory death-trap pricing schemes to defraud consumers?"

What is being asked in one of those questions is clear to everybody. The other is jargon and excludes the majority of the population from understanding the intended meaning. And note, you don't have to agree that it is "predatory death-trap pricing" at all. That is simply in the above sentence an accusation. Words have meanings. That the accusation be understood clearly by as many people as possible is important.
I find the internal testing alarmingly effective at getting me to click links and also consider myself technically proficient. 1Password always saves me from filling the logins if I get tricked enough. I definitely think the less technical crowd probably is abysmal at these challenges and always fret for my family. The general population has a whole lot to learn.
I wasn't, by even the remotest possible interpretation, "blaming people in healthcare".

So I find that a very, very weird implication for you to make.
In case you haven't seen the guidelines in a bit. I assume it is people mass flagging because people believe it's off topic for being political. And maybe that the comments won't be an on topic and productive discussion even if the article does fit from a perspective.

This article is gone again.

It's not censorship. People just don't want to discuss it. I imagine it's the same for some other topics mentioned in this comment thread.

The integrations here are far better than what you'll achieve trying to make your own VM. If you're just looking for Play Store / Google Play Services there are already ways to load those that are much less work.

On Linux there is Anbox as well which can be native ARM64 or x86 without virt (run as a container). Not sure of alternatives on macOS but I wouldn't be surprised if there was something better than a raw Android VM there as well.
Is anybody really all that surprised by this, though? Setting Spotify's deal with JRE aside, removing the show from the platform would set an unenforceable precedent for the majority of podcasts. If we just start banning people for saying things that go against the status quo, what would we even be left with? A handful of NPR shows minus The Moth Radio Hour?

Joe Rogan is a hilariously bad entertainer and an even worse podcast host, but how could this have gone any other way? If Spotify caved, everyone would have gotten the worst of both worlds: people who don't care would have a diminished Spotify experience while every other artist gets a piece of the virtue-signalling pie, and disenfranchised podcast hosts would just go back to RSS and keep distributing their content to the exact same people.
I spent a while looking for a different type of optimal wordle solution as well that I haven't seen anyone else try, whats the minimum number of words you need where you can guess the same set of X words and then have enough information to guarantee solve the puzzle on the next guess? After running a search overnight I found a fair amount of 8-word sets that satisfied this property, but nothing lower
"Loss Leader" is the term and the problem.

A wholesaler sells to a reseller at their usual price.
Reseller deliberately sells less than RRP & sometimes less than their buy price. It's a good way to guarantee the reseller "owns" the market.
Then, if the reseller is big enough and has captured the market, has the leverage to tell the wholesaler to lower the wholesale price and/or the reseller gets it made elsewhere and becomes the wholesaler.

It's pretty nasty.

It happened to my family business. A big box chain sold the same products for less than their buy price. We were close friends with the wholesaler ( a timber mill), and the sales rep even went to the big box to get them to lift their price.

2 years after shutting us down, the big box store sells the same product, from the same source, for 50% more than we ever used to sell it for.
I remember prohibition, do you? It enriched a number of people willing to break the law, only to be repealed in a short time, when it was found to entirely useless and simple to get around.
>Drew Devault makes a very valid point: that the web today is at the mercy of Google, because it depends on browser technology that has become so complex that only Google (and maybe a foundation entirely dependent on Google) can deliver it.

Except all of that browser technology is open source. So none of it is actually at the mercy of Google.

It's weird how a forum full of technologists, free software believers and millionaire entrepreneurs have decided that browser technology is so hard and complex that it would literally be more feasible to rebuild the entire web from scratch on completely different protocols, yet we'll have warp drives, self-driving cars and VR beamed directly into our brains by the end of the decade, and come hell or high water we'll put a blockchain on everything.

It's not that hard because it's actually that hard, it's that hard because we want an excuse to abandon the web and browsers as a lost cause, because we're tired of it and its normality, and would rather look for still-green pastures elsewhere.
Because many of these are older individuals with contraindication. The elderly with unknown vaccine status. The homeless. People in nursing homes trying to live out the last years of their life without the discomfort of vaccine side effects.

Not age adjusting the vaccinated and unvaccinated cohort is disingenuous. Not breaking out ‘unknown’ vaccine status — which only becomes relevant for the stats after death - is disingenuous.

You are reading propaganda, and reading it uncritically.
Sure I wear a seatbelt. It's not invasive in any way and wearing it poses no risk to my health. Not comparable to vaccination in the slightest, that has numerous risks and is still undergoing trials and studies related to safety and efficacy. Let me remind you that these therapies, have been approved for emergency use.

The young, slim, healthy unvaccinated that you're talking about are such a tiny amount of people that I do not consider myself at any real risk. Like I said, I've not tested positive once the entire pandemic and I suspect that's largely to do with having a good immune system, so will clear the virus naturally, plus taking other sensible measures like wearing masks and avoiding large indoor gatherings.

I take other measures to limit the spread. The vaccine is not a panacea, it helps reduce severity for the most vulnerable so let them take it. The virus can also mutate in vaccinated people, in other mammals, it is hyperbole to suggest unvaccinated are largely responsible for all the negative aspects of Covid, completely politicised. The people that care for me respect my decision and quite honestly at this point agree, the majority of vaccinated people that I know will not be getting boosters.

Regarding health workers, I have 3 cousins and an aunt that all work in healthcare (plus some friends). From a renal nurse, ICU nurse to doctors and radiologist. I don't want to put words in their mouth, but our healthcare system has been at critical levels for years prior to the pandemic. This can only be solved by improving our infrastructure. They all respect peoples right to choose what medical treatment they want to receive. If you want to talk about duty to be respectable, when you do not know me or my contributions, then perhaps you should think about your attitude and moral grandstanding?

As my previous comment highlighted, my country has 63% of adults overweight. America is 68%. Their burden on the health system is immense, far greater than the unvaccinated. Should we ostracise them and limit their access to parts of society for everyone elses benefit? If the population was <40% overweight, we would not be facing the crisis in hospitals.
In general, no. If we blindly trusted our brains, we would not require things like “another set of eyes,” or the rigors of reproducibility, or business processes/protocols, or a million other things. Further more, this lack of trust in the matter between our ears is observable in the course of daily human life when such questions are asked as “why did I say that?” or “why did I do that?”. Blind trust would obviate the need for such questions. As for the supposed trust in authority that you describe, that is not blind trust in the brain. Trust in authorities is actually quite low at the moment, and was never really blind. Every election in the USA, half of the country doesn’t trust the people elected, and possibly even the election itself. More over, War is no longer declared, and people never blindly trusted the government on war anyway, hence all of the protests of all of the wars. Trusting scientists is clearly not a universal thing either, hence the need for reproducibility as well as very large minorities of people not trusting rather obviously provable stuff (like landing on the moon where nearly any ham radio operator could tell you we did). Even if trust were not low, trusting an authority is built of many things. Brain washing, propaganda, protocol/process, committees, culture, tradition, instinct, and many more things all work together to form obedience to authority… trust in the brain isn’t much of a requirement in obeisance to authority figures.
I was a happy Wealthfront & Turbotax user for a long time, but then my taxes got more complicated, I wanted to create a family bank using life insurance as a backer, do estate planning, I moved between states, needed to move IRAs around, and changed jobs recently. Those services were great when things were simple, but I totally got pushed into #1 really quickly. I already didn't want to click around in any tools and a bit of complexity quickly made hiring someone a great investment even if the fees are higher. I can schedule a call anytime I want, get very easy to interpret summaries of my portfolio, and he's helping me getting the right people to the table for a potential investment property purchase. Computers are great, but sometimes a human is good too.
When YouTube is on the same level with utility companies, then your argument does not hold. The size and specificity of YouTube service makes it an utility company, not a small country club that can select the customers as they want.
To add on to your thought, I think the problem is somewhere closer to "network effects" or "expected reach".

Hear me out: there is Ana increasing expectation, realistic or not, that every voice CAN be heard (or words read, or whatever disability compliant version you like) by everybody else. That you have the RIGHT to be heard. That if you aren't heard (and maybe even amplified), you are being unfairly punished.

In the U.S. and E.U. and others there is some aspect of that enshrined in the founding documents, in the form of right to petition[1] but it generally doesn't spill over into the right for your ideas to be spread to your fellow citizen/countryman/human/otherkin beyond the government.

After all, why should [popular person] get so many views when MY videos or writings or recordings are so much better?

Given what I've seen with P3's in my neck of the woods, I can see there could be a high degree overlap to the point that P3s are much like the private Roman tax collectors - which had its problems with corruption way back then. So it was, so it is.
And the macro architecture of the project. As a one man project, the only thing it makes sense to build is a monolith.
Ask HN: How would one receive assistance from any CS researcher?
Hi HN,

I dont know what the rules, expectations, and limitations are in the academic / research world, so I need to correct that now.

I reached out to dozens of researchers asking them to review a one page summary document of an improved, generalized pathfinding algorithm I created. I did not offer anything in return because of the information I grew up with. Until today. I assume that in the post-critical mass internet (and the perhaps the ongoing administration apocalypse), their time has become a very valuable resource.

Anyways, a small handful of them agreed to take a look, but no one has responded. It's not a simple solution so I take it its not worth their _free_ time to poke into it.

I'm not sure what I should be offering in return for their time. Should I pay them? Offer them co-authorship if they want to work on it with me (for free?)?

I dont have an academic background so I need help putting together a white paper and probably need someone established to vouch for me to get it published, if successful. Plus I need someone experienced to poke holes in the algorithm.

I know the algorithm[1] has potential because it's functioning in the video game I was working on before I diverted my resources into the graph theory.

[1] I created an improved general solution to any pathfinding algorithm that searches for more than one path, e.g. All Pairs, k-Shortest Simple; for any type of graph (directed, undirected, +weighted, possibly +/- weighted). The All Pairs is functioning in my game, and I have a working paper solution to the k-Shortest Simple Paths problem.
This is anti trust because it’s probably in violation of the sherman act and price fixing.

The anti trust laws are designed to prevent monopolies and promote competition… as Amazon is acting as the market here and simultaneously fixing prices and discouraging competition with them thats a no-no

I came across this course after going through the 6.824 from RTM last year and enjoying the hands on approach a lot! Teaching using the xv6 OS (https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2012/xv6.html) is super valuable. I do not consider myself an expert in operating systems or C, but digging through the xv6 source code is quite fun, the code is easily readable and very newby friendly.
Even if that were true, the government need only block the exchanges which are a financial service.
> This comment just feels like you are only pointing fingers at large corps

Good to know. That's not my intent. I am distinguishing between platforms and forums, not big vs. small. Platforms tend to be large corps, but there are many smaller players in the platform space. You named a few. I think all of those should be forced to be public benefit corps as well.

The line between forum and platform is weird, but I think I'd roughly define it using something like Section 230. Forums are for cohesive groups.

> I get the feeling that those who advocate for maximum freedom don’t have a good understanding of history of the USA.

I tend to agree. My current stance on social media issues comes from walking around Boston during the pandemic and thinking about exactly this topic.

> This country was founded 2000 years before the modern internet

2,000 years? Damn straight! Jesus was white as a pearl, 'Murican as you or I, and died for our freedom! (Let's not forget to laugh ;-))
But doesn't that make it no longer non-interactive?
Data retention training is always about limiting liability. These are the sort of companies that delete emails after 18 months no matter how much that kneecaps the employees. No amount of training will change the behavior of the sociopaths calling the shots. They need their underlings to not ruin everything for them with careless mistakes. Any other story is just a cover because they can't state their true intentions.
It even happens on AirPods Max because it has two chips internally for L/R. Buggy.
Sorry what? Yes, this has happened many times in many regions during this pandemic. If anything, as governments lean more and more into "let's just call it endemic and give into anti-vaxxers," it's happening more.

And to make it concrete: where I live we're into emergency (as in, stretching the system past its limits) ICU capacity and elective procedures (which, please note, does not mean optional) have been cancelled or delayed en masse for a couple months now as we've been going through our 4th and 5th waves.

People are absolutely regularly having diminished quality of health care due to unvaccinated people catching, as well as spreading, covid.
I don't really buy that consumer protection and antitrust regulations actually result in a better free market. I think the market is better off doing it's thing rather than a bunch of politicians trying to make it more efficient.
Thank you :-)

The abebooks login page is clearly a carbon copy of Amazon, and the ‘about us’ page says

Unvaccinated people have caused other people to suffer worse health outcomes because unvaccinated people are disproportionately filling hospital and ICU beds (and wearing out doctors and nurses).

Developing antibodies the old fashioned way is great! Doing it with vaccines saves other people's lives. That is the problem with people who refuse the vaccine and why they deserve to be vilified.
