> They sold some simple product with good reviews, then swapped everything out for their new, more expensive product.

It isn't always the same "they", in fact I'd guess it isn't more often than not.

Sometimes a seller is shutting shop, and to make that last few pennies one of the assets they pass on is the account with products with good reviews. Another route to the same effect is apparently inactive accounts getting hacked. Maybe even active accounts, with the sterling reputation Amazon has for support it might be more hassle than it is worth for the hacked seller to do anything about it.

> It's ridiculous that Amazon doesn't catch this.

This comes under “sterling reputation Amazon has for support” when it comes to it being reported. And they have little incentive to deal with it if it isn't reported until there is a competitor that does it better and takes enough business for them to care – the inflated reviews improve sales of which they get a cut.

Congrats on the launch! I'm curious about how this compares to existing Auth microservice solutions like Ory Kratos[0][1]. For the "short-lived tokens" that you mention, is that similar to Ory Kratos used with Ory Oathkeeper[2][3] with JWTs? That's a similar approach that I've seen companies like Uber taking for their microservice Auth.

I've played with Flutter a little. It was OK.

I develop/maintain 2x2 native apps (two different apps, with 2 different native versions each). When I started this years ago, the cross platform stories weren't as prevalent, and we needed really strong BLE integration (not just a casual shim library). So we did the native thing.

Reading various forums, it almost feels like no one does the iOS/Android native app dance anymore. Is that a vocal minority or is that what's really going on? Or are there still reasons to do native (Kotlin/Swift) apps?
Aren’t the book reviews just farmed from Goodreads and splatted onto the book’s store page? Goodreads is kinda trash with all the “ARC provided by SomeWebsite.com” reviews. I’ve noticed that a ton of ARC reviews tend to be by people who don’t even care about the genre the book is in. This is especially true of Sci-Fi. Almost every ARC review for sci-fi books on Goodreads boils down to “I hate sci-fi but this book was free so I tried to read it and I still hate sci-fi.”

I think this is where this conversation is going to have to end, because I don't think this is a reasonable, or a rational argument to make.

We've started this thread by trying to better understand why many other countries who are in a way worse situation do not get the same help offered now to Ukraine - and you're response is now basically down to "because the Ukrainian people are special and I know it".

If you have an original Advantage, IIRC that was one of the known issues that got fixed in the Advantage2 (or perhaps one of the Advantage2 firmware updates). I'm having trouble finding a source now, but Kinesis' site does state:

As a result, it is not uncommon for original Advantage keyboards to become unreliable when used on newer PCs and operating systems as they were not designed with these protocols in mind." [0]

What would you say is your main differentiator to Auth0?

My main gripe with Auth0 was that they lacked support for organizations, until they added support for that a year ago. With that in place now, I don't see any USP that would make me use your product.
The normalization of saber-rattling about nukes is one of the most unsettling outcomes of this whole conflict TBH, and hopefully it's going to be addressed in some way down the line. If every non-nuclear power is suddenly vulnerable to conventional attacks by any rouge state with nukes, the ensuing equilibrium is pretty clear and is not good for overall stability.
It's not as huge as all that, most of Europe is already similarly synchronized and Ukrenergo was already running at 50 Hz. The longer term concern is communication and coordination between the RTOs in Europe and Ukraine, as Ukraine must now respond to grid conditions and act to maintain as spelled out by complex and detailed operating procedures.

Actually syncing up is more of a case of putting in some high resolution meters at the interconnect substation, or maybe some phase shifting transformers, and adjusting the Ukrainian side's frequency by a few micro-hertz an hour until the phase angles are close enough by setting frequency targets at the largest generators. Something similar happens all the time in wide area grids when generators are brought back on line.
I genuinely don't think this is true. FSD is better than a lot of people make it out to be, but I'm pretty sure they're still leagues behind Cruise who is behind Waymo.

I don't think Tesla publishes their data, but from the 2021 report [1] Cruise is at 42,022 miles/disengagement and Waymo is at 7,800. In fairness, Waymo switched their car base car, which seems to be causing issues. Waymo was at 29,944 miles/disengagement in 2020.

The videos I've seen of Teslas appear to have a much lower miles/disengagement number. Even if we presume they're going 60mph the whole time (they're not), they would need to have 1 disengagement per 130 hours of video just to keep up with Waymo's new, much lower stats. They'd need 1 disengagement per 700 hours of video to keep up with Cruise. With a more realistic estimate of an average 15mph, you'd have to quadruple those numbers.

There's some wiggle room, because disengagements and whether they're reportable is somewhat subjective. The delta seems large enough to say that Tesla isn't particularly close, though.

"It's not that population density causes murder, but it affords more opportunity."

I still don't think this opportunity explains the higher rate, at least not a 3-5x difference. Opportunity is only one small part. I would think that socioeconomic factors are the bigger issue, and that some predictors or correlated metrics might be more common in cities.

I get that someone in a denser area is going to come into contact with potential situations more often. But when we're talking about decades of opportunity to be exposed to such a scenario, I would expect the difference to be negligible as the exposure becomes an eventual given.

The claim that someone in the city knows more people is a little suspect. You can live in a small town and know hundreds or thousands of the people in the small town(s) near you. Everyone knows everyone, being in your neighbor's business,
and can lead to a lot of gossip, opportunity/drama.
Oh sure, all good points. However in such cases React vs Flutter is not the part of the discussion at all because they tend to have so much investment that re-do is almost not an option. Bespoke tools, integrations, accommodations for odd behaviours or bugs etc. are huge costs. So many horror stories of failed re-do's.

The article is mainly about educating children.

One issue I found was that there might be some personal quality required to get tutored effectively. Can everyone be tutored and benefit from it? For the geniuses listed, there must be an army of not so brilliant minds that we didn't hear about. How much worse off are they in a normal factory school?

Also, if you go to Oxbridge, you get a tutor several times a week. I am not sure I'm that much smarter than someone who didn't have this privilege. But of course I benefit from people thinking that tutoring is magic sauce. I wonder if anyone has checked.
I have a couple issues with this article.

The first is the claim that Flutter is one of the most popular native apps. I haven't seen or heard of anyone actually using it. Flutter and Dart barely exist. After React native, the next biggest would probably be just plane old native, or electron.

The second is their claim that google has a great developer experience. I legitimately have never had any google product with a good developer experience. They always have a painful developer experience compared to Facebook products.
Right. It's even got things like a text editor with syntax highlighting and an image editor. If someone spliced a browser in there, it could practically be a whole OS on its own.

> The US is already the global leader in reducing carbon emissions and that sure as hell didn't happen by slowing our economic growth.

How would we reduce carbon emissions that much if we hadn't already spewed so much into the atmosphere, primarily due to the dogmatic and incredibly myopic pursuit of GDP growth?

If I pour a few hundred thousand barrels of oil into Mono Lake, then initiate a half-baked, under-funded plan to pay 10k interns to use kitchen sponges to soak it up, I can claim I am "doing more than anyone to clean up the mess that is Mono Lake", but conveniently I have hidden my culpability in the problem's genesis.

An aside: I am perpetually amused by the self-contradictory nature of capitalist-minded people trashing on Biden. You know, the whole "this administration is fucking everything up" followed by praise for "wisdom of the crowds". The crowd voted in the current administration! And not only that, but Biden is one of the best capitalists that the US has ever seen. He has done more to entrench the power of capital than many before him, and he has used the pandemic (like Trump before him) to precisely that end -- unflinchingly and with great aplomb.

The maneuvers you see by this administration are designed not to sell out American interests but to use a tiny trickle to assuage the populace. There is a real threat of a large-scale revolt on American soil in the next 3-10 years, judging based on current trajectory and historical analogy. Inequality just keeps getting worse, and if you don't provide people with some outlet they will take it for themselves.
>On an up to date mobile chrome, sometimes it decides that I'm really on a desktop (no, I didn't hit desktop mode) and it renders what is nearly useless on a small screen.

Thanks for reminding me of this. I'm still using a Windows phone. It will be obsoleted soon though, and I had blamed most of the poor rendering of HD site on a phone on the phone itself since I commonly get the "unsupported browser - please upgrade" messages from lots of sites.

Like Best Buy, their mobile version is not good and borders on unusable. I had always blamed that on my own decision to use an obsolete phone as long as possible instead of on poor mobile website performance. I tend to locate the part that I need on my desktop, send a link or screenshot to my phone. That way I know which aisle/bin to find it once I make it to the store and don't have to waste time exploring all the things that I want but don't need.

Lowe's does throw up search results a bit faster but to me, the time wasted trying to find the right combination of terms to use in searching is not worth the small price difference between the two stores. I buy from Lowe's when I am looking for a specific brand that is not carried at Home Depot.
I love vintage game programming books. Just finished "Gardens of Imagination" by Christopher Lampton, and "The Black Art of 3D Game Programming" by Andre Lamothe. Lots of good info in both for my raycaster pet project.
While I appreciate the sentiment of the topic of fuzziness and AI, this also breaks search for people who are looking for precision. For people who are used to a McMaster-Carr or Digi-Key style search where precision matters in results, the fuzziness introduces ambiguity and hampers repeatability. These are both very important when designing products. Amazon, Home Depot, and Lowes are a bear when trying to find something with very specific specifications, it's quite literally rage inducing to add a more specific keyword to q query and get more (wrong) results in the output.

You only need dart and flutter itself, and both of those can used via CLI just fine, I know because when I develop flutter I exclusively use my classic tmux+vim setup to do so.

If I want to create an android build I naturally also need the android SDK, but that is even packaged for Debian or Arch Linux, and even if I use the newest one directly from Google its just a one time setup, and that is completely unrelated to flutter (which I can test via the native or web build too) but 100% related with the build target (android in this case), so really not seeing your point.

Well, I have just tried with GPT-3

Prompt (almost verbatim Lem): "Write a love poem, lyrical, pastoral, and expressed in the language of pure mathematics. Tensor algebra mainly, with a little topology and higher calculus, if need be. But with feeling and in the cybernetic spirit. In verses."

Output:

In the space of my heart
your love is a point
defined by certain coordinates
(x, y, z)
that exist in a specific time
t.
But your love is more than that
it's also a vector
with magnitude and direction
that can be graphed on a coordinate plane.

Your love is a function
of time and space
it's a curve that's always changing
but always coming back to me.
It's the limit of my heart's desires
and the product of our two hearts' vectors.

Yes, it sucks, but it looks like we're getting there.
sorry, what is wrong with NATO as "masters"? it is the truth: you orchestrated the coup in 2014, you are responsible for the war in Donbass since then (ukraine did not implement Minsk agrrements encouraged by you), and without your arms, sanctions and intelligence, and worldwide antirussian propaganda ukraine would not last.
Ukraine is not an independent state, though certainly this is what you would like its people to think (the truth is, of course, that you want to get Russia to bleed, the rest is hypocrisy).
There is a very direct analog: the way you say "in Ukraine". In Russian/Ukrainian, both «на Україні» and «в Україні» аre grammatically correct, but the first one has the same connotation as 'the Ukraine', Ukraine being an open territory without borders, which is often the intentional undertone in modern Russian.

Curiously, "na Ukrainie" in Polish usually does not bother us much, this usage does not feel directly linked to possible aggressive contempt, but more to archaic Polish perception of Ukraine from Middle Ages.
I am not a physicist, but I suppose it is because the s-orbital has an amplitude peak at r=0?

In other words, it is not so much the antiproton falling to the nuclear surface as much as the antiproton finding itself at the nuclear surface.

EDIT: The context is that the antiproton was in an orbital with large principal and azimuthal quantum numbers. Still, there would be some non-zero probability of the antiproton finding itself close to the nucleus, no?
> For even small changes, we’ve typically had a discussion about approach/design before any work begins; for larger changes a more thorough discussion about potential pitfalls and implications. We tend to have chats and review comments intermittently throughout the dev process.

None of that is code review. Like, literally none of that communication and activity counts as code review. Code review just does not mean "discussing design before any work begins".
