I too have stopped buying on Amazon. I did so a while back after being concerned about counterfeits, safety issues, etc. I had this talk with my wife not too long ago about a mirror she ordered from Amazon, clearly made in China by a no-brand manufacturer. We discussed about how, yes, it looks nice, but we have no idea what quality of glass they used. So if it falls and shatters, it could be very dangerous. It also came with a bunch stuff on it that looked like pieces of fiber glass. I just don't trust anything on that platform anymore. I buy everything else from more legitimate sellers selling brand name stuff or directly from manufacturer's websites.
I wonder if Amazon has reached a point where they have eliminated all competition at least at a scale to no longer worry about this especially since their only competitor Walmart has similar cheap stuff that will require a drive to the store.
And targeting volume based sale where a lot of Americans especially in rural or suburban areas don't really care about the quality-read Walmart crowd.
Also targeting other countries like SE Asia, India, Brazil, Latin America, Africa where the volume of sales will be so high that again quality of inventory does not matter compared to ease of delivery.

Because the orthodox Jewish community is a constant source of outbreaks in the area. In 2019, there was a measles outbreak, in 2020, a number of COVID outbreaks, and now polio.

Just $400? I couldn't find pricing anywhere on their website. Is it really that inexpensive?
That's interesting. Here in NL that is also pretty much the attitude, and it so far seems to be working out reasonably well except that we get the occasional surprise. The latest large infrastructure project ("ruimte voor de rivier") is an unqualified success and has seen many other countries following the example.

I think one big difference is that it all happens on a much smaller scale in a much more densely populated country. What happens 'upstream' outside of the borders of NL could well have massive effect.

Define "succeeded"? Tesla was definitely not first to market, Ford is expected to surpass them in EV cars shipped by end of this year, and Tesla is well known for their poor car QA + service (as an owner myself).

But why are so many of these pseudo-brands exactly 1. six characters long, 2. all caps, and have 3. point-form descriptions that 4. use some particular emoji as bullet-point symbols, and 5. give each point a separate, usually-capitalized "title" part, 6. enclosed in either square brackets or the even-more-niche punctuation【 】?

To me, that reads either like these all being marques of one company; or there being some Chinese "start a turn-key Amazon business" SaaS that most of these pseudo-brands make use of, which generates a brand name for you, and for product descriptions, takes structured key-value input and formats it into text in this style.

Either way, it seems like finding that entity, and preventing it from interacting with Amazon, would stop a majority of this in its tracks.

Meeting in a public place saves some of the hassle, but adds another - lots of flakes, and time spent getting to and from.

If the item is big ticket enough it’s worth it, but man is it a waste of human effort most of the time. Sad.

With time being more scarce for me now personally, I also just can’t justify dealing with it most of the time.
sure. but i think i'd rather see biologists debunk prevailing theories in biology by doing biology while in the process getting better at biology rather than dabbling in forensic image analysis. (although, who knows, maybe said dabbling could lead to some new meaningful insights down the line)

i guess the bigger point is that the act of topical inquiry should have inbuilt mechanisms for discarding ideas and approaches that turn out to be dead ends, without having to rely on them actually being fraudulent (they can be, and often are, completely legitimate, yet also completely wrong).

we shouldn't be discovering bad ideas in science by fraud detection, we should be discovering them by mainstream scientific process.
The New York Times doesn't answer if this is beneficial for consumers, which is obviously the thing smart people want to know. Like why does Amazon put up with this?

Even if zero people bought these weird brand products, their existence causes prices to go down, because prices are at the margin, and that's why it pisses off our Tweeter. Because he has to sell for less profit.

Judging by (say) the success of the British tabloid press, there are a whole lotta petty & vindictive little people in this world.

But when it is less malicious, public, and monetized, such a focus-on-flaws way of viewing people would seem to have some utilitarian value. Regular news of palace scandals does not do much damage to the national welfare. Vs. having a very flaw-focused outlook on whether the great, royal Prince Andrew should be trusted around your under-age daughter might prove extremely beneficial...
A bit of a nitpick - LiteX still mostly needs Vivado installed for now for 7 series FPGAs. There's a project that's very far along in reverse engineering the Xilinx bitstream (https://github.com/f4pga/prjxray), but it's still missing many features (PCIe, SERDES, hardware multipliers, etc.). You can run on the open source toolchain but you lose so many of the reasons to actually use a Xilinx FPGA.

The only fully supported reverse engineered FPGAs at the moment are the Lattice ECP5(-5G), iCE40, and QuickLogic EOS families.

I have a tip for Amazon shopping related to these weird brand names: Do not buy anything that will go in or on your body. Doing this significantly reduces the likelihood of counterfeit or poorly packaged goods.

In most cases the deal isn't being lost there, you're being qualified out. The products that do this are going to be a lot closer to your $100k/year that you can't afford than your $5/month that you have to build a case for.
Awesome, so we agree that Elon isn't attributable for the success of Tesla.

The owner of the team matters less to the success of the team than the participants, as is easily proven by the argument you have just made.

If Elon had consistently led successful teams, as Jordan has, then the correlationary argument would be more convincing. Since he has led a mix of failures and successes, the likely indicator is the teams that worked for him, not his own ability.

It didn't cost $11K to design and build a prototype. According to the article:

"The city’s Department of Public Works famously decided no city in the world had ever placed a trash can on its sidewalks that would meet San Francisco’s exacting standards and designed three bespoke, wildly expensive prototypes just for us. It took nearly four years and $550,000 to get this far, but now they need our help."
> This strange-sounding state of affairs is not unique to the hoatzin; we see it in our own DNA. Human beings share their most recent common ancestor with chimpanzees and bonobos, but more than ten per cent of the human genome is actually more closely related to the gorilla genome. Another tiny fraction of the human genome also seems to be most closely shared with an even more distant relative: the orangutan. “This implies that there is no such thing as a unique evolutionary history of the human genome,” a team of molecular biologists wrote in 2007. “Rather, it resembles a patchwork of individual regions following their own genealogy.”

Is horizontal gene transfer [1] the right term for this phenomenon? Are we talking about transfer of individual genes that could occur via transposons, or transfer of entire genomic regions that occur via a different mechanism?

You would think, but since Amazon is a monopoly and not an honest broker, there's no way to compete with them.

> Right, because it wasn't actually the middle layer that was causing the problems

That's generally true about the overall stability, the DB popped constantly.

One reason Emid got grief was because it started barfing every time sprocs, table schemas, views, etc were changed and nobody ever really managed to resolve this. The DBA's would update the text of a sproc without telling anyone and Emid would start throwing exceptions. Certainly a set of fixable problems, but nobody ever really got a good mental model of when it needed to be HUP'd.

"Emid uses psycopg, ergo we have to rewrite the whole thing" was one of the insane justifications tossed around for the rewrite project. Never made any sense.

The business issue motivating removing the middle layer altogether was just that to do anything you needed to change three things in three different programming languages (maybe four if it involved JS or Flash), and this was foolish.
I discourage that, unless it's very minor! Major code cleanup gets its own ticket. But if it's just fixing a minor spelling issue etc. then no, why would requiring the ticket number to be in the commit be an issue?

One in 200 infections leads to paralysis. So yes it is effectively zero risk compared to non-vaccination.

If you eliminate the unvaccinated population, vaccine-derived infections are a non-issue. Which is how we addressed the problem prior to 1979 - largely due to the fact that everyone saw first had what the virus did and there was no vaccine hesitancy.

But we haven't used weakened virus vaccines for polio in the last 20 years, so it's kinda moot.
I’ve been making a conscious effort to buy things manufactured in the USA. Made in USA still exists for a lot of things and the quality and design is superb compared to all the Chinese junk. What really surprises me is the prices are also very reasonable.

Right now buying home goods online is a nightmare: Search engines don’t help, the big retailer websites are full of junk, prices are unbelievable. But I’ve had great success identifying the handful of companies that make X in the USA and ordering directly from them.

The way I understand it, there is a lot of controversy over whether or not crypto is a security. However, Insider Trading is a type of Fraud, and proving fraud does not require it to be insider trading and does not require crypto to be a security. What makes it Wire Fraud is just that it took place "over the wire", ie on the internet.

I think the key to understanding how this is fraud is the fact that they acted on privileged Material Information to the disadvantage of their employer, not the exact nature of how they profited off it. Essentially, they stole company secrets.

Who knows what the motives are, but it's happened to me on maybe 5–10% of bookings. I don't recall ever hearing a reason. Definitely frustrating when it happens after a long period of time of being booked.

The host of a friend's new year eye reservation in NYC one canceled less than 24 hours before check in as we were in transit to the city. That was an ordeal but Airbnb made it right by covering the difference for the next available comparable place which was significantly more expensive. Since everything was booked for the holiday, that turned out to be a penthouse.

Short answer: no.

Long answer, according to Garner:

Cummings, E.E.

The poet Edward Estlin Cummings (1894-1962), a shy man, early in his career used the lowercase i for the first-person singular pronoun. (This habit, now commonplace in Internet exchanges, was highly unusual.) Cummings's critics then began referring to him sarcastically in print as e.e. cummings. The practice stuck, and that was how his name appeared on book covers. Does this mean we should all use lower-case letters in spelling his name? Those most familiar with the man think not, and they use ordinary capitalization. Norman Friedman, the founder and then president of the E.E. Cummings Society, summed up the poet's "philosophy of typography" this way: "that he could use caps and lowercase as he wished, but that when others referred to him by name they ought to use caps." [....] Nor is it true that Cummings legally changed his name to lowercase letters. After that story appeared in the preface to a biography about Cummings, his widow angrily denied it.

In the Netherlands they seem to ship exclusively with DHL. And all products arrive in the evening slot. Which means that next day delivery is usually around 21:00-22:00 which is typically too late to be useful.

PostNL is the most reisje local carrier here. Ups is the best but almost never used, so far only by Apple. Dpd, GLs, etc, are all rubbish.
I feel this in my soul. I wanted a new french press. I tried three from Amazon, two of the same model arrived broken, the third arrived appearing intact but broke on first use. I ended up just refunding and buying one from le creuset from their website. It arrived safe and is still alive and kicking.

I wanted some weight sensors for an arduino project, Arrow had them but Amazon also listed them but in bags of 4 for about the price 2 would have cost from Arrow, plus they'd arrive faster. They ended up being varying weight sensors ripped directly out of various electronic scales and 3/4 didn't work. Had to order from Arrow anyway.

My wife wanted one of those percussive massage guns for post workout, Amazon had the best price but then I saw in some of the reviews people showing that the items they received from Amazon weren't legit and the company (hypervolt iirc) wouldn't honor any warranty from one purchased from Amazon. I was pretty much done at that point. We ended up picking a different model but when we did we went straight through the manufacturer.
