This is my understanding: some brands pay amazon extra to avoid this happening but the default is that anyone can send in anything for sale on amazon.

So, let’s say Makita makes a particular drill. They obviously stock amazons warehouses with a shipment of it so it can be prime eligible etc.

Now someone else manages to buy some of these same drills for cheap at a store closing sale or whatever. They also send them to amazon for sale because it would be a tidy profit without much hassle.

And now me, a shady “businessman” who gets a bunch of counterfeit/defective/somehow subpar few pieces of the same drill. I also send them to amazon because they cost me 10$ a pop to make but sell for 200$ on amazon.

All these all get put in the same bin in the warehouse because they all have the same barcode on the box. As far as amazon is concerned, a makita xyz drill is a makita xyz drill is a makita xyz drill.

And when someone purchases one, an overworked warehouse employee comes to the bin, picks any one drill, and sends it to the lucky customer. They might be getting the real deal that was shipped from makita direct, the might be getting one clearance stock seller's or they might be getting the one I sent in. Nobody knows because afaik amazon doesn’t even track which particular item was sent by whom.

Instead, they use a random algorithm to choose which seller “sold” this drill and gets the money.

The beauty of it all is that I might get the sale (and the money) but using a genuine drill from the other two guys. And then one of the other two get the sale but one of my drills ship.

Amazon dgaf because they either made their commission or they charged the seller for shipping the thing and then handling the return. The customer shrugs because they get a refund and maybe order again or they price match elsewhere.

It’s a scammers wet dream and there is no accountability whatsoever. Co-mingling is a scourge, honest sellers hate it, yet it continues unabated because it’s a goldmine for amazon.

This happened so many times to me on amazon Canada I stopped buying there altogether. This and the classic obviously used and returned item sold as new (best one was a pair of Wahl clippers with someone else’s hair in them)

Hopefully that explains how the whole scam works.

Now amazon gives the option for sellers to pay amazon extra and avoid mixing stock. Which means if makita buys this service then only the items shipped directly by makita to amazon will be sold under their listing. And then you’ll have another listing for the same item at a different price which will sell whatever everyone else sends in to amazon as a Makita xyz drill. You, as the ~~mark~~ customer have no way to tell if it comes from commingled inventory or not.
A publisher that has tasted fast cheap low value entries has a hard time justifying risky quality entries when the risk of failure is much higher. We're seeing the reality-tv moment in video games with mobile freemiums and it's frightening. I feel like Square-Enix is the perfect nexus if these market forces. I'm not even sure they'll bother with AAAs after making so much money off their low effort mobile cash cows.
By Drone do you mean the `0.8` open source version? If you've not tried Woodpecker it built upon the `0.8` code and added lots of nice functionality, has better documentation, and is in active development.

False. While pharma and defense have positive externalities, it's far fetched to conclude that those are "vastly better for humanity".

The Goliath Wikipedia section “Goliath and the Greeks” adds color to this theory. If the Philistines had Greek cultural origins it explains why the David story involved one on one combat (a motif in Greek myths). And a Greek etymology of the name Goliath explains its apparent non-Semitic origins.

I expect reading a vanity fair article about a political strategist discovering insights, with focus groups+AI.
I find the title a little confusing. In the article it states:

> The researchers found that the higher dose of LSD (26 μg) produced a small decrease in false alarm rates for recognizing fearful emotions and a small decrease in feelings of social rejection. The higher dose of LSD also produced heightened feelings of vigor and some participants who received the higher dose reported feeling a modest “high” during the drug sessions.

Then the following paragraph:
> Under these limited conditions, the effects did not differ from placebo.

If the study was placebo controlled, doesn't the first paragraph contradict the second?

I'd also like to point out 1) that modest decreases in negative emotions (implied by the first paragraph) over a period of time can cumulatively alter one's perception of life for the better pretty significantly and 2) most microdosing protocols use 25ug, which is the high end of dosing for this study.
For some anecdata on illegal behavior, Atlassian denied my data deletion request on the basis that they're legally allowed to choose to use logins as a proof of identity (since without some kind of proof anyone could prank delete anyone else's data) and since they'd given away my account the day before I thus couldn't login to prove that it was my data, despite having otherwise valid credentials and whatever other proof of identity they might need.
Negative results for drugs that are not covered with patent are quite common.

It's not a quiz. There's no questions.

You could call it a free-form interactive essay interview. Pick any subject and converse on it however you like. If it's not going well, pick any other subject.
> few weeks of no commits means the library is dead.

Xorm is so old and disused, it's been absorbed into Gitea and the Github repo is archived as read-only. You get much better capability out of something that's widely used, that's it. I don't care at all about how "modern" something is, if you can't roll back a migration because of your ORM then you have a nonideal ORM.

> The "standard" is React and Vercel offerings

No, I was thinking Gin or Buffalo. Something that a lot of people use and that's seeing a lot of love, you know... a standard.

> they can't simply accept when someone does things differently.

Yea, that's why I continue to accept Gitea as a good piece of software. Only people who cannot accept software packages as they are go out, call them "good", and try to get people to understand how it can become even better.
> and perhaps slave owners from before 1800 perhaps did not have all the answers.

Until Americans realise that fetishising and religiously following the words of slaveowners from the 18th century isn't necessarily the best idea, nothing will change. It's weird how the "Constitution" is taken as the words of a deity that cannot be touched and cannot be wrong by some.

Especially a bad and extremely ambiguous constitution like the American one, where the Supreme court has decided tons of things based on weird interpretations, instead of, you know, actually enacting laws and amending the constitution to add those things.

Playing Battlesnake has helped me become a better programmer. I've used it to gain experience in multiple new (to me) programming languages as a freeform way to practice without deadlines, I've learned new algorithms and how they apply to game solving, and I am beginning to understand how many game-solving algorithms can be applied to more practical applications since "games" in the game-theoretic sense can just as easily be models of real-world situations where the players are rational people instead of "game" participants. For example, "pathfinding" and "decision making" has many parallels.

Learning game tree searches such as minimax, MCTS and CFR is teaching me about tree/graph algorithms and data structures, how to work with, reason about, and test explosive search spaces where the entire tree can't be feasibly completely exhausted, in the process of researching these things I've learned to read whitepapers in the literature that would otherwise be scary to me as a developer and actually care to understand the math, it inspired me to tinker with Formal Methods including TLA+, and all the while having fun and making friends.

Learning Goal Oriented Action Planning, or GOAP (which I actually didn't apply to Battlesnake in the end, but I never would have found it if I wasn't looking) helped me optimize my real-world productivity by translating the concepts from game AI to personal task planning. In my head there is an analogy now between handling backlogs according to the current working context, and a GOAP-like stack based finite state machine. Learning a simple game algorithm helped me procrastinate less.

For newer developers, you'll also out of necessity learn many real-world web development and ops concepts because the way Battlensnake works is that you run your own web server conforming to their move API. So you have to keep your snake AI up and reachable, responding to each request within the allotted timeout, and know the basics of HTTP on day one. Games can also run concurrently so you learn how to deal with concurrent games and whether to make them stateful or stateless between turns, which can be a different experience on different web frameworks/languages and might teach you about things like threading or the actor model or distributed systems.

For advanced developers, there's always somewhere to go next. Your snake AI can be anything from hard-coded rules to tree searches (as mentioned above) to deep reinforcement learning.

I'm an immigrant, so I have a vantage point here others may not. I remember being bewildered at how belligerent fellow troubled kids were with their elders (especially teachers and their parents*), to the point where it was often impossible for the teacher to carry on with her lesson plan for that day because most of the time was spent with cops/security guards or the teacher crying in a corner.

I'm surprised at the resistance rayiner is getting. I'm thinking it is likely due to folks here having been brought up in suburban bubbles and being completely ignorant of how bad the situation is in a lot of inner city schools.

*edit: I suspect folks here will interpret the term "troubled kid" in their own cute ways, like not following directions on how to do a math problem because the little Euler-streaked student found a *better* way and he'll not listen to the authority on how to do the problem the conventional way, don't you suppress his creativity! No, I'm talking about students like these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpDFBxKcOXY where in the back of your mind the calculation taking place is 'is he going to hit me? If I hit him first, can I get away without being physically hurt? I have a PhD in physics, what am I doing here babysitting these hellspawn clowns? But if I hit first, what kind of administrative bullshit fallout do I have to deal with?'
I agree. This was the era when buttons look like button instead of plaintext or text on rectangle, contents are shown in grids instead of cards, and different areas of the interface are separated by visual dividers rather than white margins.
Of course there isn't, and I didn't say so.
Definitely stealing this idea, thanks
My guess is the approach to development: things that can be fixed get fixed, not replaced. In FreeBSD, for example, rather fundamental changes get introduced when necessary - compare FreeBSD devfs with a... somewhat 1970's approach used in Linux - but they don't happen "just because".
I learned by tracing a complicated clip art raster image of a flower using the ‘pen’ tool. You eventually get a feel for how to space your points for each segment of the line you’re tracing.

If using Illustrator, it’s important to use the keyboard shortcuts so you’re not diving into the menu between points - clicking a menu or tool will cause you to switch out of ‘drawing’ mode forcing you to awkwardly restart your line from the last point you made.

Important keys: alt/option, ctrl, space for moving around the scene without breaking your line, shift, and A and V for toggling between selection types (point/line). Play around with alt and ctrl keys while dragging handles - you can create corners by ‘breaking’ the straight bezier handle that controls the curve shape.

Good luck. Find an interesting piece of clip art and have at it. Option clicking a point with handles will turn it into a corner. Option clicking that same point while dragging out will recreate the bezier handle.

Photoshop’s path tool works the same way with the same shortcuts. However it’s primarily used for making a selection and not for drawing per se. You can export paths out of Photoshop but I highly recommend using Illustrator and not Photoshop for learning the pen tool.

Imho, Linkedin is one of the apps (for non-recruiters ofc) you can just remove. Once-a-month visit to bulk-delete copy-pasted offers is more than enough.

Should they take off, AR and VR should make vertical videos go away.
Even the disclosure of odds isn’t enough imo, because often it’s odds of a “pull” that costs various amounts of abstracted in game currencies with complicated conversion rates between each other and to the money you put in. It becomes a very complicated math problem most people just ignore.
While a lot of the type theory stuff is controversial, closures and recursion are core concepts of functional programming. I mean, they date back to the first ever functional language, lisp. Removing them would be like removing classes in an OOP language.

> Should the government have not helped fund this drug because now it's expensive?

No, the government should set a reasonable price for the product they funded. A high enough price to fund manufacturing, a low enough price to ensure that people who need the treatment have ready access to it. If the upper bound on price is too low for universal access, that's what subsidies are for.

Instead, we have free money to bootstrap extractive capitalists, at cost and detriment to people who need care.

From a customer's perspective, it isn't clear that a software taxi driver is in any way better than a human taxi driver, particularly with human driver assist preventing collisions and all the other warnings provided by a modern car.

In both cases someone else is driving for the customer. With a human driver (plus driver assist breaking and collision warnings) you have the most flexible, sophisticated intelligence on Earth driving. With a robotaxi you have something inferior. But maybe it's a lot cheaper, right? The robotaxi can only compete on price because that's apparently the only advantage.

The idea of a robotaxi seems popular among people who don't like being around other people... a population perhaps over-represented here on Hacker News. Personally I don't see the point and I know I'm not alone in wondering.

If you own a car (e.g., a Tesla) that drives itself, that's a different story. Everybody can see the value proposition.

This comment is an accurate contextualization of the report within the broader literature. It appears to have been heavily downvoted, which seems to be a matter of patriarchal grievance culture revanchism rather than informed engagement with the material. What a shame.

> Don't you think that psychedelics would be particularly prone to placebo to the point that it's probably not safe to assume you weren't effected by it in some way?

Sure do. The immediate effects are anything but a placebo, but there is.. gigantic room for interpretation left open regarding actual persistent long-lasting benefits. It's a little bit like the hen and egg problem with psychedelics.. if there's anything that probably always holds true to some extent, it's that you will gain more insight into yourself - whether that is helpful then again depends on what you make out of it.

Intent... if you have none, you leave the room for interpretation open to delusions.

I've been happy with Gitea. It's very fast, and upgrades cannot be simpler. Just download the new binary and start it. The migrations run automatically.

If you need a git hosting service but "hosting git" isn't your day job, then the alternatives are way more complex than necessary IMO.

IPsec tunnel mode delivers that function https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4303

This contrasts to IPsec transport mode which only encrypts the payload not the IP info https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/64/Ipsec-es...

Generally there is encryption available at each layer in the network stack but middleware (operating systems, firewalls, NAT) tend to get in the way at lower layers. E.g. IPsec is often now run with NAT traversal which means the ESP header is stuck under a UDP header so it can get through to end devices even though IPsec itself doesn't require this. This, and a few other things, have left IPsec as a thing most people only know for corporate VPNs.
> In short, woke managers want to impose a new political and social order. Managerialism requires intermediation, and intermediation requires a justifying ideology. Wokeness has accomplished what New Dealism never set out to do in the 1940s: it serves as a comprehensive, flexible, and ruthless ideology that can justify almost any act of institutional subversion and overreach.

And it is only going to get much worse, and as seen by what happened to companies like Netflix, we also know that it really doesn't pay the bills either and even caused them to cancel other programmes, films, and lose more subscribers than they originally thought.

I mean the currently available 2.X set of versions: https://docs.drone.io/server/provider/gitea/

Its source code is also available on GitHub: https://github.com/harness/drone/releases

Of course, the point about their license is a good one, which definitely has some limitations on what you can do with it: https://github.com/harness/drone/blob/master/LICENSE (I wish I earnt 5 million $ and this would be a problem I'd have to think about).

Thanks for bringing up Woodpecker, though, it also seems like a nice project and the two CI solutions haven't diverged far enough for migrating over from one to another to be too problematic, should that become relevant in the future: https://github.com/woodpecker-ci/woodpecker

Of course, as I said, some folks might also prefer something like Jenkins or another CI solution. I'm yet to explore most of the packages out there!

All I’m pointing out is that this study isn’t necessarily focused on people with clinical depression.

That isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it’s probably not worth criticizing a study that is looking in a different subset domain of interest.
