> In my network, unless something has to be wireless, I run a cable :-)

i would argue that being seemingly extreme here is worthwhile. If possible, run it inside rigid conduit. Some more cost now, but conduit makes it a much more maintainable system. Solid yet upgradable digital infrastructure, for the home or small office.

I once did this for a small office space which I had the freedom and budget to do as I wished. After that, everything was rock solid for years. Floods, critters, insane humidity... survived it all. If somehow a cable went bad, it could be used to pull through its replacement.

If in 10-20 years fiber became the new LAN cable, then just pull it through yourself without an electrician. If you need to hire an electrician who has the clbest tools for termination, their billable hours will be much lower.

Rigid conduit every room, maybe even two walls per room since you are already paying a pro to be under/over there already.

If it's a retrofit then maybe it's too late, but a renovation or new build... I would always spend that extra money if at all possible.
10 years across all 3 major cloud providers (and some others like Rackspace, etc), I can tell, Google support has been the absolute worst of all. I don't say that lightly. I take pride in how I can deal with customer service the most peacefully in my org. But that's all out of the window when their CS is nonexistent.

I can't remember the number of times they've shut down someone's production workload without notice or warning, gave them no way to resolve/rectify any supposed infraction, and gave no way to contact them to appeal the decision.

I once had to resort to numbering my points and just referring the boilerplate responses (few and far inbetween as they were) back to the numbers over and over until I finally gave up, moved away and never looked back.
Organisation is always a compromise. Rather than seek the perfect structure, it’s better I think to address what makes structure get in the way of doing the right thing. Better structure may follow, but it’s a constant fight. Different challenges call for different people to work together.
This will just result in the extinction of endemic bird species in war zones, and after that be as effective as regular drones.
> the expectation is that they apply reasonable effort to doing so, including demonstrating a response to publicly known incidents of crime rings operating on their site.

Again, rule of law. Reasonable effort is to do nothing unless they have information that would make a reasonable person believe that the specific goods were stolen.

There’s no expectation that Amazon would investigate the providence of the goods they receive.

> Edit: This is at least the second time you've minimized an important piece of context: the problem is that they're accepting stolen goods, with multiple municipalities repeatedly warning them about it.

No, I’m not. Amazon receives unimaginable amounts of goods, of which only a vanishingly small fraction is stolen goods.

> Treating that as a "scale" issue doesn't wave the crime away, any more than throughput at a meatpacking factory would be a defense for the occasional employee being caught in the slaughter line.

Are you serious? Surely the odds of an employee ever getting caught in the slaughter line must be greater than zero?

Surely you understand that if we were to infinitely scale the meatpacking factory, we’d be essentially guaranteed to see employees get chopped up.
I think it is more likely you are just baldly shilling your website. Which is a shame, because I think the site isn't a bad idea - I like the minimal interface and the thought you've put into hints for many not-quite-right solutions. I've seen quality links you've posted in the past with more interesting, subtle, and relevant bugs - but this isn't one of them.

I think you're looking through one end of the looking glass. There's another.

There are companies who tolerate C- teammates and reward them the same or quite close to the A+ teammates. It's where the whole "10X" appellation came from. One person pulling the dead weight around. It's a meme at this point. I've witnessed it plenty in my career.

So yes, from your hiring perspective, it's fraudulent for anyone to do anything but give you their 100% at all times.

But if you reward the C- guy and the A+ guy the same, I would argue you are not holding up your end of the firing bargain, or at least the accountability bargain.

In that scenario, it might be completely rational for the A+ guy to do the math and realize that he does better for him or herself by being two C- performers at two different jobs, each within companies that either don't know any better, or are too poorly managed and not rewarding their star performers.

Similarly, there are all sorts of imbalances in the workplace that are not accounted for, and someone might chafe at. Childless employees are expected to put in more hours/overtime/crunches than parents. Smokers are excused for multiple daily breaks. Older people are out for medical reasons more often than younger. Chronic illness is it's own thing. It exists all over the place. On one hand, it's sympathetic and realistic. On the other hand, if you don't have "life" chipping away at your productivity and causing you to miss work opportunities like these others, it's hardly fair if you're not rewarded.

I've done the "overemployed" thing, but I try to only hold one W2 position when I do so. I believe that's slightly more honest.

At the moment I hold a sole 1099 contract and am involved technically in multiple startups. My conscience is clear right now. If I get bored, though, and unchallenged -- I'll be out interviewing.

The silicone valves exacerbate this problem by forcing a buildup of air pressure. Cheap ones cause a mess even when the bottle is full, whether by excessive resistance, asymmetrical imprecision of the valve sectors, or fucking both.

I’ve started decanting cheaper ketchup—which usually come with poor quality valves—into a restaurant style squeeze bottle. With the combination of softer plastic, longer cone shaped tip, and no valve, it adds up to a better overall experience.

Silo'd teams that don't talk to each other? That sounds like a sign the culture is already deteriorating, or the lack of communication is inherently part of the culture.

I'd be curious as to how the iOS team would be independent of the hardware team or the app dev experience teams. I suspect your team experience was a corner case.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone at HN!

I am a long-time lurker. This is the best place to know and learn about the latest and greatest. I am thankful for all the posts and comments. I echo the overall sentiment here that this is the only place on the internet where I would rather be. My day starts with HN and ends with it.

Thanks to the fantastic team at HN, which keeps everything running smoothly.
>I am not a developer, but I understand how generative AI leveraging your work to make it easier for someone else.

To me this sounds like it's antithetical to open source software because the point of making software open source is so that other people can leverage your work. It shouldn't matter if it's done through generative AI or through a human's brain.

No, instead they reach out to Amazon to school a sweet deal directly. I think a lot of people forget that a typical retailer relationship is manufacturer => distributor => retailer. Large companies like Amazon often can (and do) negotiate directly with manufacturers, however, sometimes larger distributors can offer a better deal. This is why, for example, you'll sometimes find Amazon themselves selling fake SD cards.
I thought pawn shops exist in kind of a weird in between place.

As long as they feed info to the police, they can deal in property that’s “possibly but not probably” stolen.

And even “definitely stolen” provided certain circumstances are met: like if the item was insured and insurance paid out.
This is really interesting, but I'm curious about two things:

1. How power-efficient is this compared to a similar-sized quadcopter drone?

2. Is it possible to scale this up to the size of a small airplane (for 2-4 passengers) or even a large commercial airliner?
Why doesn't amazon just simply require receipts or invoices when you send stuff to their warehouses for FBA?
> Amazon doesn’t just let you easily sell health products, you need to produce invoices, receipts, etc.

I sure hope so.

Amazon seems to only carry many common household items through dubious 3rd party sellers.

On the subject of deodorant, I've received the wrong type from Amazon multiple times, including some that obviously came from a foreign market. I ordered Dove. That can't be difficult to source from the manufacturer.

I just want Target to bring back Subscribe and Save so I can ditch Amazon completely. Third party fulfillment ruined Amazon's store.
> The question here is what without an ID you can't get the same phone number.

I’ve never shown my ID to get a phone for T-mobile or walked into the store. I even switched my service with the same number from AT&T to Verizon back in 2011 without going into the store. I entered some verification information and Verizon sent me an iPhone 4S. I logged into my iPhone 4S with my Apple ID and everything downloaded from iCloud - data, apps, and the screen layout. My Verizon phone became active and my AT&T phone deactivated with the same number.

> you can't request password recovery for bazillions of services which treats SMS as 2FA for the password recovery. Banking apps are one of those.

I can log into any Apple device with my Apple ID and receive SMS messages - not just iMessages. Currently, if I get an SMS message, it goes to my phone, my cellular Apple Watch, my iPad and my Mac.

If I forget my iCloud password , my wife can help me recovery it (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212515).

My wife and I would have to lose six cellular equipped devices between us and both of our wallets not to have any access to anything.

> I would repeat again, but try to 'lose' your wallet and the phone, preferably in some place 500+km from your home. Your opinion on some account/password policies would change.

Well, seeing that my “home” right now is whatever city I happen to be in with my wife this week (doing the whole digital nomad thing across the US), I’ve thought a lot about that.

If I lost my wallet and needed cash, I call American Express and take advantage of my Global Assist privileges (https://www.americanexpress.com/content/dam/amex/us/credit-c...) that come with the Amex Platinum.

If I lost my phone. Hopefully I wasn’t mugged and I still have my Watch where I can make calls (at least in the US) from the same number and receive texts. My iPad also has a cellular connection that receives SMS messages from the same number. While it doesn’t have a dialer for regular calls, you can call a number from your contacts.

That was done years ago. The SEC cracked down on initial coin offerings back in 2018. They're still working down the backlog.[1] The "cyber" enforcement staff was doubled a few months back to catch up.

The SEC does not consider Bitcoin to be a security because there's no "common enterprise". It's distributed more like a mined commodity. Miners are competitors. But where there's an issuer, or "minting", or "pre-mining", or anything like that, you can buy it, and it's expected to go up, it's clearly a security.

Etherium is in an interesting position with the shift to proof of stake. That may have made it a security, because it's now controlled by voting owners, just like a stock. So now there's a "common enterprise", unlike in the "mining" phase.

The big question now is exchange regulation. Are Bitcoin exchanges and brokers going to have to register with the SEC, pay for and be covered by SIPC insurance, and be regulated by FINRA? After FTX, that's probably coming. FTX acted like a retail broker, after all. Nobody runs Super Bowl ads or buys stadium naming rights for something sold only to institutional clients.

The law in this area looks at the economic realities, not the form. If it looks like a security, is marketed like a security, and is bought and sold for the same reasons as securities, it's a security. Doesn't matter what you call it.

And without the same commitment to privacy. Police have much greater search powers in Europe and there is massive surveillance of public spaces.

In the UK, junior policemen walk up to you and ask you to remove your hat. So the camera can see your face.
That wasn't my experience. They banned me while I was trying things out, for some baseless suspicion of an infraction. Just rented some cheap server from Hetzner, did the job well.
> No, I’m not. Amazon receives unimaginable amounts of goods, of which only a vanishingly small fraction is stolen goods.

This simply does not matter in the eyes of the law. What matters is receiving stolen goods, period. The degree to which they do will solely determine the degree of the statute applied.

I think I'm just repeating myself at this point, so this will be the last time: there are different standards for culpability, and each exists for a reason. Accidents happen all the time, and we don't generally refer them for criminal prosecution unless they meet a standard of intentionality, knowledge, recklessness, or criminal negligence.

To use the slaughterhouse example again: nobody expects a slaughterhouse to be perfectly safe. However, we do expect a slaughterhouse to not recklessly or negligently expose its employees to danger. Nobody expects Amazon to perfectly avoid sales of stolen goods. However, we do expect them to pursue reports of stolen goods made by victims and investigating DAs.

The claims about zoning and property rights can be examined in the US, as Texas has no zoning. Housing costs are not remarkably different there.

The "capturing of value" that is actually happening is a net transfer of land and wealth from the general population to a handful of massive corporations and the people who control them. Once they own everything and have dismantled the market they can charge whatever they want.

It certainly raises some interesting questions. After a model has been trained is there really any surefire way to prove that these models are profiting from your individual code? How is this different, from, say, search indexing in Google? Imagine Wikipedia wants to sue Google for stealing their content. Google essential keeps a mirror of Wikipedia and uses that data to serve up better search results (sometimes). But is there legal group to stand on in such a situation? It seems hard to prove that Company X made Y dollars off your individual code or text, therefore Company X owes you money.

In any case it raises some other questions about intellectual property as a whole. If you can sue an AI model for profiting off your intellectual property, why can't you sue a human for the same? Say you read a book one day, and are so inspired that you go ahead and write a new book. Imagine you publish that new book and sell millions of copies. Are you entitled to pay royalties to the author who gave you inspiration? It seems to me that unless you're plagiarizing large chunks of the original work verbatim, you probably shouldn't be forced to owe the original author much of anything. LLMs do plagiarize, but they do so somewhat inconsistently due to their non-deterministic output (just like humans!).
Dense living is not unique to China.

Its difficult to solve problems which don't have simple answers, if some artificial priority of 'getting along' is imposed. Different alternatives have to be tried. Mistakes have to be allowed. China seems to be losing the capacity to do that under Xi. Time will tell.
Twitter Gets Editing Capabilities
> The Qajars were not clients of the colonial powers until towards until the tail end of 19th century

I disagree and in fact for a lot of what the colonial powers did there are in fact very little references. Most of it are trickles of information decades sometimes centuries later. They wrote their own history books after all. The embargo famine in the 20th century got published from the archives so late that its barely a footnote worth mentioning.

The British had a huge impact on the establishment of the modern Saudi kingdom as well as salafi islamism in the 18th century.

> And here I thought our modern world was strange. Can you imagine if they had our gadgets back then? The Russians would get demoralized and make a beeline to go defend Moscow and Iran would still have Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan.

That is really a quite interesting point. Although it is worth noting that it was the Ukrainians(I'm including Donbass and LPR militias in there) and the Chechens that were fighting out tiktok wars. The Russian army itself was only recorded by military reporters, and always covered their faces. It seems like when they join the war theatre they are in fact stripped of personal electronic gadgets for obvious SIGINT reasons.

One of the militia headquarters that was struck in western Ukraine was struck because western mercenaries were fiddling with their mobile phones[1].

My point being that while your comment is well received, I'm not sure it works on actual professional armies.

Fair enough but I have some heavily used open source projects on GitHub so I can't take the risk. It would be great if there was a read-only option.

Also, some of my open source projects have an explicit clause which states that 'The source of this code shall not be misrepresented' so if chunks of my code showed up in some AI-generated code without attribution, it would be a pretty clear-cut case.
I mean, RICO was designed for this sort of use case. But Amazon does have lucrative deals with the intelligence community.

Honestly, the StarFive VisionFive 2 RISC-V based board is approaching, or maybe even beyond that reality. It is only slightly more expensive than the Pi 4, is almost just as fast, has way more IO options, is completely open source, and has Ubuntu support coming soon, Debian, etc. I preordered one after the kickstarter, so I guess I'll see how it adds up. I will try to add my thoughts here when I receive it.

What could possibly wrong? (the theme of SF policies)
I don't think privacy has anything to do with it. Google Maps doesn't need to capture any user data to implement OP's suggestion. Google Calendar just needs to render a map with a set of locations marked on it using Google Maps. It doesn't need to tell Google Maps what or who the locations are for. This is something Google Calendar should already be able to accomplish using a public API. All other aspects of the feature could be implemented as part of the Google Calendar service without any further integration with Google Maps.

Further, I don't think users are generally against services using the information - which the user has presumably already provided intentionally - to better serve them. The problem is when that information is shared with third parties or used for purposes which are not obviously in the users' best interests. IMO, any user data stored externally should be subject to an opt-in permissions system which strictly defines how the data can be used. That doesn't stop companies like Google from being able to offer me useful services that I might actually be interested in. The notion that privacy discourages innovation is just silly.
It is unfair indeed. A fair solution would be to improve conditions for everyone so that they can live in comfortable conditions before trial.
